GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS
Opinion
The views expressed in the Journal are those of the authors, and do not
necessarily coincide with those of the Editor or the Editorial Advisory
Board.
Referees
The Journal of the International Society for Education through Art is
a refereed journal. Referees are chosen for their expertise within the
subject area. They are asked to comment on comprehensibility, originality
and scholarly worth of the article submitted.
Length
Articles should not normally exceed 6000 words in length.
Submitting
Articles/visual texts should be original and not be under consideration
by any other publication. Three hard copies must be sent to the editor,
typewritten or printed on one side only, and double-spaced. If the article
is accepted, it should be put on disk, with any required amendments, and
this electronic version of the article as agreed for final publication
should then be sent to the Editor. The electronic version should be in
WORD, and be submitted along with an ASCII (i.e. Text-only) file of the
article on a 3.5 inch disk, along with a hard-copy version. The disk should
be labelled with the name of the author, the title of the article, and
the software used. (Formats other than WORD are not encouraged, but please
contact the editor for further details.)
Please provide a self-addressed envelope to cover the return postage of submissions.
Language
The journal uses standard British English. The editor reserves the right
to alter usage to this end. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of
the readership, jargon should be kept to a minimum. Whereas articles may
submitted for review in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (?) Greek and Japanese,
translation into English will be the responsibility of authors should
they be accepted for publication.
Format
The journal is set with Apple Macintosh equipment and reset using Quark;
it is therefore best if the use of automatic footnoting devices is avoided.
Visual Materials
Illustrations to articles which assist discussion of artworks, learning
activities and/or environments are welcome. Generally only black and white
is available.
Please do not send original slides, photographs and other artworks.
Photographs should be black and white glossy. All slides should be printed as colour photos or copied onto Photo CD as a YCC computer file. Line drawings, maps, diagrams etc. should be in a camera-ready state, capable of reduction, or as Macintosh EPS or TIFF files with hard copy output.
All illustrations, photographs, diagrams, maps etc. should follow the same numerical sequence and be shown as Figure 1, Figure 2 etc.
Image/text features
Image/text features should be submitted in hard copy form as a written
proposal which should include a critical introduction of no more than
300 words outlining to the editorial team why the work submitted is relevant
to the theme of art education. This proposal should also be accompanied
with the original images and text on disk according to the relevant guidelines
stated in this document. If the feature is selected for publication the
editorial team will be seeking your input on the design of the feature."
Copyright
Copyright clearance should be indicated and is always the responsibility
of the contributor. The source has to be indicated beneath the text. When
they are on a separate sheet or file, indication must be given as to where
they should be placed in the text. The author has responsibility to ensure
that the proper permissions/model for visual image releases are obtained.
Quotations
Paragraph quotations must be indented with an additional one-line space
above and below and without quotes.
Captions
All visual materials should be accompanied by a caption, which should
include the Fig. No., and the acknowledgement to the holder of the copyright.
Other Styles
Margins should be at least one inch all round and pagination should be
continuous. Foreign words and sentences inserted in the text should be
italicised.
Author note
A note on each author is required and this should include an institution
or address. This should not exceed 50 words. Authors should also indicate
how they wish their names to appear. The custom is without titles, one
forename plus surname, but authors may vary this. The author should also
provide a short sentence (of no more than sixteen words) stating their
name and institutional affiliation or their identification (to appear
at the bottom of page one of their contribution). The institutional and
e-mail addresses need to be included at the head of the article.
Keywords
Six keywords, or two-word phrases, that are core to what is being discussed
need to be included at the beginning of articles.
Abstract
Each article should be accompanied by an abstract, which should not exceed
150 words in length and should concentrate on the significant findings.
Authors may submit a second abstract in a first language other than English
also where appropriate.
Notes
Notes will appear at the side of appropriate pages, but the numerical
sequence runs throughout the article. These should be kept as short as
possible and to a minimum, and be identified by a superscript numeral.
Please avoid the use of automatic footnoting programmes; simply append
the footnotes to the end of the article.
References and Bibliography
The publishers require the use of Harvard references embedded in the main
text. Bibliographical references within the notes must adhere to the following
models: Books: author's full name, title (italics), place of publication,
publisher, year, and page reference. Articles: author's full name, title
(within single quotation marks), name of journal (italics), volume and
issue numbers, date, and page reference. A bibliography may be included
if this is deemed to be a necessary addition to the sidenotes.
