Welcome to The Tower

Submissions for The Tower‘s 2024-2025 journal are now open! Check out the page under the “Submit Now” tab.

History of the Journal

The inaugural issue of The Tower, the premiere interdisciplinary research journal for undergraduates at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was released in Fall 2008. The Tower was founded on the principles of:

• Showcasing undergraduate achievements in research,
• Inspiring academic inquiry, and
• Promoting Georgia Tech’s commitment to undergraduate research endeavors.

In 2023, after an interlude due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, The Tower was revived, publishing its 15th Anniversary Edition. Now, The Tower is rebuilding its core journal to once again achieve an impact on the national stage.

Focus and Scope

The Tower publishes articles that may discuss theoretical or empirical work, including, for example, experimental, historical, ethnographic, case study, and/or literary/cultural inquiry. The Tower strives to appeal to readers in academia and industry.

Articles should be easily understood by bachelor-educated individuals of any discipline. Although The Tower will review submissions of highly technical research for potential inclusion, submissions must be written to educate the audience rather than simply report results to an expert audience in a particular field.

Submissions of original research must be well supported by evidence, arguments must be clear, and conclusions must be logical. Fiction, poetry, and creative writing will not be accepted.

Publication Schedule

The Tower is published annually both in print and electronically. The print issues of the journal may be freely accessed on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus.
