About the journal
American Art is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring all aspects of the nation's visual heritage from colonial to contemporary times. Through a broad interdisciplinary approach, American Art provides an understanding not only of specific artists and art objects, but also of the cultural factors that have shaped American art over three centuries of national experience.
The fine arts are the journal's primary focus, but its scope encompasses all aspects of the nation's visual culture, including popular culture, public art, film, electronic multimedia, and decorative arts and crafts. American Art embraces all methods of investigation to explore America's rich and diverse artistic legacy, from traditional formalism to analyses of social context. Formerly known (until 1991) as Smithsonian Studies in American Art.
Instructions to Authors
American Art is published in March, July, and November. Editorial preference is given to articles that combine sound scholarship with thought-provoking new interpretations or new avenues of research. Articles should be written in an engaging style and appeal to an educated general audience as well as the scholar in the field. Submissions in a variety of formats are considered, including commentaries, interviews, essays, critical studies, research notes, unpublished historical documents, and photo essays.
Articles are subject to two stages of peer review by readers within and outside the museum. The recent acceptance rate has been thirty percent. Authors should send three copies of the text and illustrations, placing name and contact information on the cover page only. While we make every effort to respond to authors in a timely fashion, the review process often takes several months. Manuscripts of rejected submissions are not returned.
Authors interested in submitting manuscripts should send three copies by mail to Cynthia Mills, executive editor, American Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, P.O. Box 37012, Victor Building, MRC 970, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012. Manuscripts delivered by Fed Ex should be sent to her at the following address: Smithsonian American Art Museum, 750 Ninth Street NW, Washington D.C. 20001-4505. Phone (202) 633-8354; e-mail millsc@si.edu. Email submissions are not accepted.
FEATURE GUIDELINES
Feature Articles
Each issue generally includes three feature-length articles flanked by shorter pieces at the front and back of the journal. Recommended length for feature articles is 6,000-9,000 words. They should include at least ten pictures; generally, there is a twenty-picture maximum for features.
Personal Selections
For this regular column, we invite authors to provide new avenues of appreciation for a single work of art in a public collection. Submissions may be between 650 and 4,000 words. They should include a picture of the image being discussed, and possibly a few comparative or contextual pictures.
Other shorter pieces
The journal also regularly runs Commentaries, Research Notes, and Highlights or New Perspectives, which typically run from 2,000-6,000 words in length and include no more than 10 images. Appreciations also occasionally appear at the back of the issue. Prospective authors should refer to past issues to review the kinds of articles the journal accepts and the formats in which they appear.
STYLE GUIDELINES
Text and notes should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition. The printout should be double-spaced, one side only. Notes should appear at the end of the article. Do not embed them in the text. The number of endnotes should be kept to fewer than forty. There should be no more than one note per paragraph where possible; please consolidate endnotes so that the reader can follow the sources clearly.
Example of endnote (citing a book and a journal):
For early schooling, see John Trent, Education in Colonial America (Manassas, Va.: Univ. of Virginia Press, 1978), 110-12, 214, 301-21. See also Noel Robertson, "The Dorian Migration and Corinthian Ritual," Classical Philology 75 (Summer 1980): 1-22.
Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will receive a Checklist for Authors asking them to submit a short abstract, a brief biography and their text in Word. The final manuscript, endnotes, and abstract should be formatted on the diskette as separate documents.
PICTURE GUIDELINES
Features generally include three to four color and ten to fifteen black-and-white illustrations. When submitting the manuscript, the author should recommend both color and black-and-white illustrations and submit photocopies of all illustrations, as well as a caption list. Please refer to the online or print journal for caption format.
Example of caption:
Winslow Homer, High Cliff, Coast of Maine, 1894. Oil, 30 x 38 in. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., Gift of William T. Evans
If the manuscript is accepted, the author is expected to provide images for the essay as well as copyright permissions to reproduce them in both the print and electronic editions of the journal. Pictures must be color transparencies, 300 dpi digital files at 9 inches wide, or 8 x 10 inch black-and-white prints. A sample photo permission request letter and other photo acquisition guidelines will be provided to authors.
Manuscripts are accepted throughout the year. Queries regarding possible topics are welcomed, but an expression of interest on the part of the museum will not be an assurance of publication.
