The Journal of Arts Management,
Law, and Society:
Manuscript Submission
The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society is an authoritative resource for the field of performing, visual, and media arts in particular and cultural affairs more generally. Articles, commentary, and book reviews address current and ongoing issues in arts policy, management, law, and governance from a range of philosophical and national perspectives. The journal seeks to increase communication and foster understanding among artists, public and private policymakers, cultural administrators, trustees, patrons, scholars, educators, and lawyers. Diverse disciplinary viewpoints are represented, encompassing aesthetics, economics, history, law, organizational management, political science, and sociology. A broad range of issues are addressed within the journal. Management topics might involve finance, labor relations, fundraising, marketing, or technological impacts; legal topics might include copyright, censorship, or trustee obligations; and cultural topics might involve education, historical preservation, or cultural diversity.
The editors encourage writers to submit manuscripts or queries on subjects that fall within the scope outlined above to the managing edi-tor. Articles should address a specific management or legal problem or need. They should be clear, well written, interesting, and free of jargon. Controversial topics are welcomed, but alternative viewpoints should be acknowledged and treated in a responsible manner. The length of an article depends on the subject. Articles should run on the average 25-30 typewritten pages, including notes and references. Each manuscript is read by two reviewers before a decision is made to accept or reject it.
Contributors should email a copy of each manuscript to be considered for publication. In addition, the author should keep an exact copy so that editors can refer to specific pages and lines should questions arise. Please await acceptance before sending diskettes; instructions for preparing diskettes will be included in the acceptance letter.
The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 1993, Documentation 2 should be used as a style reference in preparing manuscripts. Legal material should follow the footnote and reference guidelines suggested in A Uniform System of Citation , 13th Edition, published by the Harvard Law Review Association, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1981.
The writer should identify essential notes with consecutive superscripts and list them in a section entitled NOTES at the end of the text. References should conform to the guidelines set forth in either A Manual of Style or A Uniform System of Citation , whichever is more appropriate to the article.
The editors reserve the right to make minor editorial changes in style and format.
The author should include with each manuscript a brief biographical sketch for use in the journal and a statement that the submission has been sent only to the Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society.
Two complimentary copies of the issue in which the article appears will be sent to authors. Reprints are available through the journal.
