General Information

This page contains information on submissions to our peer-reviewed section. For proposals to the JAR Network space, the op-ed section of the journal go here: https://jar-online.net/en/network

  • JAR publishes three issues a year.
  • These feature diverse contributions and issues are not thematic.
  • We invite submissions from all fields and disciplines in which artistic research may be relevant, including areas that are not usually conceived of as artistic. We welcome submissions from practitioners with or without academic affiliations. JAR does not charge any fees for submission or publication.
  • Our format for publishing artistic research, the ‘exposition’, invites authors to combine text, image, film, and audio material on expandable web pages, challenging the dominance of writing in traditional academic research.
  • All submissions published in the journal are single-blind peer-reviewed. At present, the editorial review process typically takes between eight months and a year from submission to publication. We accept and review submissions on a rolling basis, but please refer to our Calls page for key dates.
  • The languages currently accepted are English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Submissions in other languages are accepted, if accompanied by an English translation, which will act as master version. Multilingual expositions are also welcome as long as translations are provided.
  • Since 2020, publications in JAR as well as in the JAR Network space are covered by the Creative Commons licence CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 Please make sure that you are happy with this before proceeding. Authors retain copyright of their submission.

To be considered for peer-review, expositions must meet a number of basic requirements. Download this list here.

If you feel your research fulfils these requirements, you should look at the detailed submission checklist, for a more detailed list of the essential elements we require in submission. Download this document here.
