Description

The editorial board made a number of decisions that the general reader should be aware of when reading this inaugural issue of Omnino. We took our title from the Latin word for all together or wholly; we felt that this best symbolized the interdisciplinary nature of the journal and the community of Valdosta State University Scholars that we wanted to help create. However, bringing together a number of different disciplines created challenges of its own. Citation styles in this article will vary from article to article. MLA, APA, and the Chicago style are all represented, and variations on the Chicago style are also represented. We felt that it was better to let contributors cite their material according to their discipline specific needs, rather than forcing a false unity on the articles. We strove to find articles that contributed something to their discipline, in the best tradition of university research. With that in mind, we sent all of our contributions to faculty members for peer review and attempted to find readers from more than one discipline whenever an article proved to have an interdisciplinary subject or approach. Often we received mixed and conflicting reports from our readers, and at other times we received requests for the contributors to further improve their article. We often had to make tough editorial decisions based on the reports of our faculty readers. As a result, we had to cut articles that we thought showed genuine promise. We want to thank those students who contributed, even if they were not ultimately selected for this issue.
