""I don't know where I'd be without In geveb. This journal has given me incredible opportunities for exposure and publication, especially given that I am a junior scholar with naught but a bachelors' degree in History and a great deal of enthusiasm. What's even more incredible is that In geveb's whole team is dedicated to fostering not only intellectual curiosity but professional stability and mutual respect--I can't say I've ever heard of another journal paying contributors as a matter of policy. When I work with In geveb I know that I'm going to be taken seriously despite my inexperience; that I'll be treated respectfully and with patience. Biz hundert un tsvantsik, In geveb!"
