IMAG #17 & IMAG #18: Call for Submissions
The next IMAG publication, #17, will be Sensorial A-r-tography: Walking with Public Art guest edited by Anita Sinner & Elly Yazdanpanah from the University of British Columbia, Canada. As lively thinkers, a/r/tographers have long advocated for broad definitions of art and artist in a sustained call for a participatory orientation concerning the arts as research. This issue will explore sensorial a-r-tographic concepts and practices through geographies-in-relation, as artists-researchers-teachers walking with public art. The editors will invite visual essays that offer new articulations of our ‘response-ability’ as art educators by attending to the pulse of public art as a vital source of pedagogic potential. The deadline to submit for this publication is June 1. More information describing the theme will be available soon on the website and in the May Newsletter. Please, always include which issue you would like to be included in the subject line of your submission email to imag@insea.org.
The following IMAG Issue, #18, will focus on The Creative Process. The IMAG principal co-editors and graphic designer specifically chose this “open” theme wishing to showcase multiple ways art educators bring the creative process alive for self and others. The ability to use our imagination; reflect on our creative exploration; act intuitively; express individual views; and engage in artistic inquiry through both play and judgment are attributes that we seek for our students, community, and ourselves and are critical for a society to thrive. The deadline for this issue will be late summer though authors are welcome to submit anytime. Please, always include which issue you would like to be included in the subject line of your submission email to imag@insea.org.

Editorial Procedures
The IMAG Editorial Board evaluates the quality of submitted papers using the peer review process, an integral part of publishing. The final response to authors is supervised by the principal co-editors (or a guest editor), based on preliminary editorial evaluation and reviewer’s comments. The principal co-editors are responsible for delegating tasks to editorial members, managing submission, peer review process, and final decision for each manuscript.
All papers submitted are subject to peer review. The papers are evaluated by members of the editorial board and refereed within one month (average time for review; might vary from one to three months). Upon acceptance the papers are published online within three to six months.
Every IMAG issue is a collaborative project between editors and authors: the graphic editor can edit figures, change the image sequence, and choose a layout different from that which is proposed by the authors. Manuscripts submitted to IMAG will be considered for publication with the understanding that the same work has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original work with appropriately cited works of other authors used in the manuscript. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author's responsibility to notify the publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. When a reader discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in an essay in IMAG, or has any other complaint about editorial content (plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication and falsification, simultaneous submissions, duplicate publication, overlapping publications, redundant publications, selective reporting, misleading reporting, improper author contribution or attribution, gift authorship, citation manipulation, impact factor manipulation, index/influence measure manipulation, undeclared/fake financial support for publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, etc.), he or she should make a complaint by e-mail to: secretary.insea[at]gmail.com.
Policy of screening for plagiarism: Papers submitted to IMAG will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection tools. IMAG will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
The views expressed in each issue of IMAG are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the view of the Society of any of our Boards. InSEA takes no moral or legal responsibility for the content of essays hosted in IMAG which is intended solely as a service to our members.
