Information For Authors

Are you developing a classic grounded theory? Do you have data that could be resorted and further developed into a new grounded theory? Are you working on a formal theory, or are you reflecting on a methodological issue? We invite you to submit your paper for review. As of January 2026, the Grounded Theory Review employs a rolling publication model, where articles are published as soon as they have completed the peer review and publication process. 

We recommend that you review the Author Guidelines and Learning OJS for Authors for more information about using this website to submit your article.  Authors need to register with the journal prior to submitting; if already registered, they can simply log in and begin the five-step process. 

A $50 publishing fee applies to articles accepted for publication. However, we do not want high-quality research and scholarship to go unpublished due to the publishing fee. If the cost is prohibitive, you can request a waiver at GTR@mentoringresearchers.org.
