Submission Guidelines

Visual Arts Research

Manuscripts of approximately 4,500 words should be submitted to Elizabeth Delacruz, Editor, Visual Arts Research, 143 Art and Design, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL 61820. Longer manuscripts are only occasionally accepted for publication. Submissions should include an original and three copies, and follow the recommendations of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition (2001). Accompanying tables, figures, images, or illustrations should appear at the end of each manuscript, and must be submitted in accordance with APA Publication Manual guidelines (see APA Publication Manual, pp. 176-201).

All manuscripts are blind reviewed by three members of our Editorial Board. Final accepted manuscripts should be submitted electronically to Carole Smith, cssmith2@illinois.edu. Figures, images, or illustrations accompanying final accepted manuscripts must be submitted as separate electronic files, properly labeled, formatted as TIFF documents, 300 dpi, and sized in height and width dimensions approximate to how the writer wishes these materials to appear in the journal. Only high quality images or figures will be published. Original photographs or illustrations may be submitted instead of electronic image files. Writers must adhere to all APA Publications Manual guidelines for submission of these original materials. Consent to Publish copyrighted material must be obtained for photographs, illustrations, or copyrighted images. Visual Arts Research will provide blank Consent to Publish forms to authors, which must be returned prior to final acceptance.
