About Us

What We Do

GVPedia is a comprehensive resource providing public access to our Gun Study Database, the largest in existence, and to GVP University, a repository of white papers and fact sheets about gun violence.

The Gun Study Database houses more than 1,000 academic studies related to gun violence and gun violence prevention. GVP University translates that body of knowledge into papers and fact sheets available to the general public. Both the Database and University are easily searchable by subject matter and provide an excellent resource for educational and advocacy purposes.

The Database and University are just the beginning. We will soon expand the site to include original GVPedia studies based on Gun Violence Archive data. In addition, we will provide professional infographics, a legal database, an organizational directory, and much more.

To continue our work, we need your help. Please consider donating. Any amount helps and will go toward the costs of constructing the website as well as adding more data, papers, and features.

How GVPDedia Uses AI

We use AI tools in limited ways to help with drafting and editing. They do not replace our authors. Every piece we publish reflects the research, judgment, and voice of the people whose names are on it, and a human reviews and takes responsibility for everything that goes out under our name.

When we use these tools, it is for tasks like organizing notes, tightening drafts, and checking for clarity. For opinion pieces and other bylined writing, we limit AI to light editing. The ideas, arguments, and conclusions are the author’s own.

We believe readers deserve to know how our work is made. If you have questions, contact us at info@gvpedia.org.
