Submit a Manuscript
The North American GeoGebra Journal welcomes work on the use of GeoGebra in mathematics education, K–16. There are no submission fees and no publication fees, at any stage.
How it works: you write your paper in Markdown from our article template, then open a submission issue on our editorial repository. From 1 September 2026, review happens there in the open — with named reviewers and a permanent, citable record.
You can write your manuscript offline in any text editor. To submit, it needs to
live in a GitHub repository so the journal can build and review it — but
that does not require git or the command line: start from the template
in your browser and upload your paper.md and figures by drag and
drop. New to GitHub, or would rather not? Say so in the submission issue and
we'll set the repository up for you.
Submission and peer review happen on GitHub. From 1 September 2026 they happen in the open. Before you begin, please know what that means:
- Review is public and signed, from 1 September 2026. The review conversation takes place in a public GitHub issue, reviewers are named, and the thread is permanent and citable — whether the paper is accepted or not.
- You write in Markdown. You submit a
paper.mdfile; the journal builds the typeset PDF for you, in the NAGJ house style. - A GeoGebra applet is welcome but not required. A paper that gives the construction commands, or figures a reader can follow, is complete without one. Where a resource does exist, you host it (normally on geogebra.org) and we record its permanent URL. We do not host applets.
How to submit
Create your manuscript from the article template. Click Use this
template to get your own repository with paper.md,
a bibliography, a figures folder, and a workflow that builds your PDF.
Write in paper.md using Markdown for text and LaTeX for
mathematics. Push to your repository and the build workflow produces a PDF in
the journal's style, so you can see exactly how your article will look before
you submit. See the preparation guidelines below.
When your manuscript is ready, open a submission issue in the editorial repository. The form walks you through the author checklist and records your consent to open review. An editor checks scope and conflicts, then assigns reviewers.

Your paper.md front matter carries the article’s metadata — it becomes
the PDF, the article page, and the citation record. Include:
- Title
- Authors — name, affiliation, ORCID and email where available; mark the corresponding author
- Abstract — roughly 200 words, one paragraph, no citations
- Keywords
- Article type — Research Article, Teaching Note, Classroom Activity, or Technical Note
The body then contains your text, mathematics, figures, and references. Do not include volume, issue, or page numbers — the journal assigns those at acceptance.
The question reviewers care about most: could a reader recreate what you describe? Satisfy it with a linked GeoGebra resource, the construction commands, or figures with a described procedure. Any one is enough; an applet is not required.
