GPPR accepts data visualizations for publication from anyone with a cool viz. Vizzes should be deeper than a simple bar chart, but not so complicated as to overwhelm a reader. They should also be understandable enough for a nonexpert reader to comprehend without explanation. Interactivity is a huge plus. For design and style guidelines, please refer to the GPPR Data Visualization Style Guide.
GPPR normally uses Tableau, but we accept submissions produced with any visualization program provided it is possible to embed it in a WordPress document.
Accompanying text should not exceed 500 words for every viz. Text should serve to make the viz as understandable as possible and must refer to the viz. For longer pieces, please consider submitting to the Online or Spring Edition. GPPR follows the AP Style (link accessible to Georgetown students).
It should be clear from where authors obtain the underlying data for their vizzes. If possible, please send us your underlying data with your submission. In text, please use hyperlinks to cite online sources.
We do not consider work that is already published elsewhere. GPPR reserves the right to edit submissions for accuracy, clarity, grammar, and length. GPPR may also ask clarifying questions on substance to help develop arguments and strengthen the analysis.
You can submit data stories via email to our media editors at seniormediaeditor@gppreview.com.
Please note that the editorial process can normally take up to two weeks. If your submission is genuinely time-sensitive, please indicate so in your submission email.
