Mission:	
Knighted:	An	Interdisciplinary	Journal	of	Undergraduate	Research	seeks	to	highlight	the	diverse	array	
of	fine	undergraduate	work	being	done	across	a	wide	variety	of	disciplines	at	Middle	Georgia	State	
University.	The	University's	mission	statement	calls	attention	to	“lifelong	learners	whose	scholarship	
and	careers	enhance	the	region,”	and	we	believe	that	Knighted	does	precisely	that	by	providing	a	
public	venue	for	students	to	demonstrate	their	research	skills.	In	addition,	the	University's	Quality	
Enhancement	Plan,	Experiential	Learning@MGA,	fosters	an	academic	environment	and	provides	
students	opportunities	to	engage	in	exploration	and	application	beyond	the	classroom,	with	emphasis	
on	the	completion	of	research	projects	with	support	from	the	institution	and	mentorship	of	faculty.	By	
going	through	the	process	of	submission	and	peer	review,	students	get	an	in-depth	feel	for	the	craft	of	
scholarly	research	
Submission	Guidelines:	
Students	may	submit	original	work	that	was	completed	as	an	undergraduate	at	Middle	Georgia	State	
University.	Original	research	projects,	including	those	developed	in	collaboration	with	faculty	mentors,	
are	welcome	from	all	departments	and	disciplines.	Faculty	in	the	appropriate	discipline	will	review	all	
submissions.	The	best	papers	from	the	Undergraduate	Conference	are	automatically	accepted,	and	
submissions	to	the	conference	are	eligible	for	faculty	review	for	possible	inclusion.	Typed	manuscripts	
should	be	submitted	as	MSWord	files	to	ExperientialLearning@MGA.edu.		They	should	be	double-
spaced,	with	one-inch	margins,	and	in	12	point	Times	New	Roman	font.	Illustrations,	tables,	and	figure	
legends	should	be	embedded	within	the	text	at	the	locations	preferred	by	the	authors.	Citations	should	
be	formatted	in	the	most	recent	editions	of	the	citation	style	appropriate	to	their	academic	disciplines,	
e.g.	MLA,	Chicago,	APA,	etc.	The	chosen	format	must	be	used	consistently	throughout	the	manuscript.
Each	submission	to	the	journal	requires	a	faculty	endorsement.	Have	the	sponsoring	faculty	member
email	the	Office	of	Experiential	Learning	at	ExperientialLearning@MGA.edu.
