Description
UJAH selects 3-5 academic research papers pertaining to art history, visual culture, theory, and criticism to publish in its annual print and online publication. We embrace innovation and seek papers that push boundaries in methodology, subject matter, and analysis.
Papers are selected on the basis of content and strength of research. Grammar, spelling, and organization are also taken into account. Selected papers undergo several stages of editing, and authors must fully participate in the editorial process with the journal's editorial committee in order to publish their work. If your paper does not currently meet our submission specifications but you intend to make the necessary revisions, please include this information in the body of your submission email.
