About the journal
Instructions to Authors
Journal statement
Studies in Conservation is the premier international peer-reviewed journal for the conservation of historic and artistic works, produced by the International Institute for Conservation (IIC). The intended readership includes the conservation professional in the broadest sense of the term: practising conservators of all types of objects; conservation, heritage and museum scientists; collection or conservation managers; teachers and students of conservation; and academic researchers in the subject areas of arts, archaeology, the built heritage, materials history, art technological research, and material culture.
The journal publishes on a range of subjects including, but not limited to, examination methods for works of art, new research in the analysis of artistic materials, mechanisms of deterioration, advances in conservation practice, novel methods of treatment, conservation issues in display and storage, preventive conservation, issues of collection care, conservation history and ethics, and the history of materials and technological processes. Scientific content is not necessary, and the Editor encourages the submission of practical articles, review articles, position articles on best practice and the philosophy and ethics of collecting and preservation, to help maintain the traditional balance of the journal. Whatever the subject matter, accounts of routine procedures are not accepted, except where these lead to results that are sufficiently novel and/or significant to be of general interest.
All articles will be sent to independent referees. It is a condition of publication that on acceptance of the article by the journal Editor that copyright must be assigned to the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works and an Assignment of Copyright Form will be required for final acceptance in Editorial Manager.
Submission instructions
Please submit your article online at www.edmgr.com/sic.
You will need to register if you have not submitted an article before. Instructions for the Editorial Manager™ online submission system are available to download here (available in English, German, Chinese and Japanese).
Articles may be returned or rejected at the point of submission if the quality of presentation or the written quality of the English does not meet the required standard.
For an initial submission you must upload
- a PDF file of the complete article;
- OR a Word file containing the complete article;
- OR a Word file containing the text, references, tables and figure captions plus an individual file of each figure, prepared to the specification laid out below.
You will be asked to input separately the title, abstract and keywords for the article and contact details for all authors. This information may be cut and pasted.
When submitting a revised article you must upload
- a text file containing the revised text, references, tables and figure captions, prepared to the specification described below. This file must not include graphics;
- a separate image file of each figure. Ensure that figures will be legible and comprehensible at final size and are of sufficiently high resolution (see guidelines below). Permitted file formats are TIFF (.tif), JPEG (.jpg) and EPS (.eps);
- a response to the referees' comments, as a Word or PDF file;
- a short biography of the lead author (150 words);
- a cover note detailing any specific requirements for layout and sizing of illustrations, e.g. single- or double-column width (which the typesetters will endeavour to follow where practicable).
It is not necessary to upload, for a second time, files that were uploaded with the initial submission and have not been altered. However, please note that PDF is not an acceptable format for revised submissions. Text files and separate figure files are required in order not to delay publication should your article be accepted.
References and captions should be placed at the end of the article. Articles must be accompanied by a short abstract (c. 200 words) and approximately 8 keywords to aid search ability of the article online. Studies in Conservation no longer publishes non-English abstracts of articles.
Both the summary and introduction to the article should clearly indicate the relevance of the work to the practising conservator/restorer, particularly in the case of scientific research and analysis. Scientific and technical terms should be explained, and the article presented in a manner that is accessible to the non-specialist.
Any acknowledgements should be placed at the end of the article, before any Notes. If commercial products are mentioned in the article, the names and addresses, or URLs, of manufacturers or supplies should be given in a separate list of suppliers. Where appropriate, it is essential to provide information regarding health and safety issues, together with references to the relevant legislation.
Each author should provide a short biography that includes contact details (postal and e-mail addresses) as well as a few sentences describing the author's academic training and professional background. If experimental details are extensive, they should be placed in an appendix.
Open Access options: MORE Open Choice
Maney offers authors a choice in publishing their research. Authors who require their article to be available immediately in the public domain online (open access) may pay the Article Publication Charge (APC) associated with the journal via ManeyTrack once they receive email notification that their article has gone into production. Information about MORE OpenChoice, Maney’s immediate (Gold) open access policy, is available on our open access information page.
The Article Publication Charge (APC) associated with this journal is £500 or US$800 per article.
Authors may alternatively choose a delayed open access (Green) option by self-archiving the post-print version (the accepted, peer-reviewed article) in the institutional repository of their higher education employer and/or in subject-based repositories (but not posted to personal, institutional nor social networking sites), subject to a 24 month embargo period. More information about our green archiving policy can be found via our open access information page.
In preparing your article in Microsoft Word, there is no need to format articles. Use a single (not double) space after the full point at the end of sentences. Please use plain style and avoid elaborate layout or typography, but include italics or bold type when necessary, and make sure that headings and subheadings are clearly visible as such. Words should not be hyphenated at the end of a line. Consistency in spacing, punctuation, and spelling will be of help. References and captions should be placed at the end of the file. Photographs, maps, and other supporting material are encouraged. Please use hard returns only at the end of paragraphs, switch auto-hyphenation off, and do not justify text. Figures and Tables should be submitted as separate files and keyed horizontally from left to right using a tab between columns, not the space bar (or keyed in Table mode in Word).
Article titles
The article title should be concise, accurate, and informative. Titles are often used by search engines and other information retrieval systems. The title should be specific and it should contain words that readers might be searching for.
Abstracts
The abstract is an important part of the article and will be used in Abstracting and Indexing services where the journal is listed, searched by Google and other search engines, and freely available online. Abstracts should be succinct but sufficiently comprehensive to provide a comprehensible summary of the article.
Keywords
Keywords are also important as they facilitate searching and accurate identification. The more accurate the choice of keywords, the more likely the article will be found, read and referenced.
Conditions of Submission
By submitting to this journal, authors acknowledge and accept that articles are considered for publication on the basis that:
- The article presents original work that is not being considered or reviewed by any other publication, and has not been published elsewhere in the same or a similar form;
- All authors are aware of, and have consented to, the submission to the journal;
- Due regard has been paid to ethical considerations relating to the work reported;
- The article contains, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no libellous or unlawful statements.
Submissions are vetted for quality of written language and may be rejected on these grounds. Maney recommends that any non-native English speaking author who is not confident of their English language skills ask a native English speaker or professional language-editing service to review their article before submission. This is not mandatory but will help ensure that the Editors and reviewers fully understand the academic content of the article.
Use of an editing service does not guarantee that your article will be accepted for publication. A decision will be made following the usual peer review process.
For information about language editing services and discounts for Maney authors, please visit our language editing page.
Studies in Conservation follows the Maney Style Guide. Please download a full copy of this style guide. Please note the differences below where the journal’s style deviates from the Maney Style Guide.
Spelling
Articles may be submitted in either of the Institute’s official languages, English and French. No translations need be provided. The vast majority of submissions are in English however, and articles in French may proceed more slowly through the reviewing system.
Articles in English are accepted that use either UK or American spelling and usage, but these should not be mixed in a single article. For UK English, authors should refer to the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary if in doubt; for American English use Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary. Articles may be rejected if the written English is not at an acceptable level for an international publication; hence it is critical that authors have their article edited by a native English speaker if English is not the first language of any of the co-authors.
References
The Author-Date System should be used for references. References in the text should be made with in parentheses and include the surname of the author (unless the author already appears within the same paragraph), the publication date of the work and, where necessary, the page reference. Articles should be followed by an alphabetical list of works cited, comprising only those sources actually cited in the text. Authors should consider whether any material in an endnote could be omitted or incorporated into the main body of the text. If an endnote must be used, numbers (which should always be arabic numerals) should be given sequentially in the text, immediately following the most convenient punctuation mark.
Please see the below notes for examples of where the journal deviates from the Maney Style Guide.
Headings: Headings are not numbered. Two levels of headings are used: main headings and subheadings. Indicate clearly in the text which level of heading is appropriate, either by including the heading level in brackets after the heading, or by using a letter in brackets in front of the heading,
e.g. Experimental [heading]
Cleaning solutions [sub-heading]
Lists: Try to avoid too many bullet points or numbered lists. Lists with long entries are often better subdivided using sub-headings. Only use numbered lists where there is a clear hierarchy in the list entries, or if the proceeding statement warrants it; e.g. ‘There are four methods of treatment . . .” Insert one line space above and below the list.
% or per cent: While the Maney Style Guide uses “per cent”, Studies in Conservation uses “%” in both text and tables, although “percent” may be used in headings.
Numbers: While the Maney Style Guide writes out the numbers one to one hundred, Studies in Conservation writes out only one through ten, and using the numerical form for 11 onwards.

Page numbers should not be included in text citations unless referencing a specific page or subset of pages more narrow than the pages listed in the References section. Where there are multiple citations within a single set of parentheses, separate each with a colon, and list in ascending order by date, and for the same dates, in alphabetical order: (Vandiver et al.,1988, 1991; Aze & Valleet, 2002; Morten, 2003; Parker, 2003; Vandiver et al., 2011).
Tables and illustrations
Tables and illustrations should be restricted to the number necessary to support the arguments of the article, and should not include anything superfluous. In general, figures will be reproduced to single column width (80mm) or page width (168mm). Authors must ensure that the labelling on figures will be legible when reduced to final size. Lettering should be approximately 8pt in size (equivalent to 2mm in height for capital letters) at final width (i.e. figures that are wider before reproduction generally require larger type sizes). Keys must be legible when the figure is reduced to final size. Ensure that curves on multiple plots are clear, in particular that any symbols used on graphs can be distinguished following reduction. Labelling of individual curves may be preferable to keys in these circumstances. Tables should be kept simple; other than for headings at the top, there will be no vertical or horizontal lines in the Table when printed. Hence, the tables should be submitted without such lines. Avoid putting too much information in a single table, or subdividing rows and columns. Use abbreviations where appropriate and give the meanings in the Table notes. Notes on entries should be placed at the foot of the Table and indicated by an asterisk in the Table. A key to any symbols and/or abbreviations must be provided in the notes to the Table.
In tables, columns of text should have column heading and content aligned left. For columns of numbers, column heading and content are centred; decimal points to be the centre. Do not embed the tables in the text; please place them at the end of the article or supply them as separate electronic files. Table titles should also be listed at the end of the article. Where relevant, acknowledgement for permission to use items from third parties should also be included here.
As Studies in Conservation is published in print and electronic format, the digital image can be zoomed on screen and printed at any page size. For this reason phrases such as '200x magnification' should not be used in picture captions. Either include a scale bar superimposed at a convenient place in the image or include a dimension in the caption; for example ‘The image is 200 microns across’.
Supplementary material gives authors the opportunity to enhance their work by including material that cannot be included in an article for reasons of space, is of very specific interest, or is not compatible with the standard journal format (e.g. audio or video files, animations, software, models, or large datasets). Supplementary material is intended to support arguments advanced in the article; it should not refer to other work nor contain discussion or conclusions that go beyond the content of the article. The inclusion of supplementary material is at the discretion of the Editor whose decision is final.
Supplementary material will be published online and linked to and from the article. It is considered to form an integral part of the article and will be peer reviewed and subject to the same ethical standards, warranties and conditions of submission. Authors will be required to sign an Assignment of Copyright form and provide the same warranties in respect of supplementary material as for the article itself.
To assure continuity of access and effective archiving, supplementary files will be published online with the journal content, unless the data appears in an open access database such as GEO or CIF or a widely recognized subject based repository. It is not acceptable to link to files held on personal or other websites.
Whenever possible, include supplementary material on initial submission of the article since peer review at a later stage may cause delays. Supplementary material will be hyperlinked from the main article. In preparing an article:
- ensure each supplementary file is referred to at the appropriate point in the manuscript using the correct style for the journal: (Supplementary Material 1), (Supplementary Material 2), etc.
- provide a separate document giving the title and a brief description of each supplementary file, plus detailed captions for non-text files (figures, video, audio, software, datasets, etc.)
- distinguish supplementary tables, figures and references using the numbering system S1, S2, S3, etc.
Supplementary material must be self-contained, i.e. capable of being understood without reference to other material. Supplementary files are not edited and may not be typeset. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure the content is correct, consistent with the article itself, consistent with journal style and self-contained. CrossRef reference linking may not be active in all file formats; the use of additional references in the supplementary files should therefore be kept to a minimum.
Acceptable file formats for supplementary material include:
- text files: Word, RTF, PDF, SGML, txt
- tables: Word, RTF, Excel, PDF
- figures: TIFF, JPEG, EPS, BMP, GIF
- presentations: PowerPoint, PDF
- audio/video files: MPEG, WFV
- data and software files running on recognized programs.
Large files should be compressed where possible. When uploading online, ensure the correct category is chosen for each supplementary file. The list and description will be included within the PDF file accessed by the Editor or referee. All other supplementary files will be hyperlinked from the PDF file. The maximum individual file size for uploading is 30MB. Contact the editorial office if you wish to include files in excess of this size.
Illustrations of all types—photographs, line drawings, maps—are particularly welcomed. They should be used wherever they contribute to the subject matter of the article. These should be submitted in separate files and numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals. Each must have a caption and source. Within the text, figures and tables should be referred to by number (e.g. Figure 1; Table 1), and preferred position, sizing, and groupings in the text should be clearly indicated. Images can be supplied electronically in CMYK format as TIFF or EPS files at high resolution suitable for printing.
As a guideline, images should be submitted at the following minimum input scanning resolutions:
|
full colour images |
half tones |
slides or transparencies |
simple line illustrations |
fine line illustrations |
|
300 dpi |
350-400 dpi |
600 dpi |
800 dpi |
1200 dpi |
Please note that the final reproduction quality is dependent on the quality of the original illustration. Prior to submission, we would advise authors to print out, at roughly the size required for publication, all images supplied electronically so the hard copy image can be assessed for contrast etc.—what might be clear and legible on a full computer screen will not be the same printed out at journal text/column width or less.
Manipulation of images to enhance, obscure or remove individual features is not permitted. Adjustment of brightness, contrast or colour balance may be applied to the entire image provided the result does not mislead the viewer. Significant digital manipulation of images must be acknowledged in the figure caption.
Labels/legends should be in a consistent standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial and embedded in the image file. Please do not use effects such as outlining and shadows on lettering. Any lines should be a minimum of 0.3pt.
Captions should be submitted in a separate file. The author must obtain written evidence of permission to reproduce images (in all formats, in perpetuity and in all geographical regions worldwide) from the copyright owner for the use of any illustrative matter in the journal and will be liable for any fee charged by the owner of the image. The caption should include relevant credit of the permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the image.
Illustration checklist:
- Files are provided in TIFF or EPS format.
- Artwork is of sufficient resolution for its style.
- All images are the size intended for publication and all unnecessary elements have been removed.
- All fonts used for any text are embedded and standard fonts (Arial/Times New Roman). Font size is consistent.
- Any lines are a minimum of 0.3pt.
- Images do not contain any layers or transparent objects.
- Files are named according to convention.
- Artwork is provided in separate files to the main text.
- Captions and figure titles are provided in separate file.
- All rights/permissions have been secured.
Authors who wish to reproduce material from previously published sources or where copyright is owned by a third party, such as sections of text or images, must obtain written permission from the copyright holder and any other interested party. Authors should obtain permission to use items within the context of the article ensuring they explicitly obtain permission for the following areas:
- Permission in all geographical regions of the world,
- Permission in all formats including electronic,
- Permission in perpetuity, including the online version.
A letter template that authors can use to seek such permissions is obtainable by clicking here. The author should fill in the details of the article and the journal title and obtain a signature to the letter. Many copyright owners prefer to provide their own letter of permission and this is acceptable as long as the three requirements above are included.
Author images
If authors wish to retain copyright of their own images in their manuscript, this can be accommodated. Authors wishing to retain the copyright in an image should indicate this by adding into the figure caption wording such as “© Author name” or “Copyright Author name”. This will ensure that anyone who may subsequently want to reference the work or reuse the image will know who owns the copyright and therefore who to contact for permission to do so.
Using images from Google
Authors may use Google Map/Google Earth images in articles (where necessary) subject to the guidelines published by Google on its website (http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html). Full acknowledgement must be given in the caption credit. These Google guidelines suggest that a Google Map/Google Earth image may be used only if the view shown is distinctive. If the view is not distinctive, the image may not be used. The website noted above includes examples of distinctive and non-distinctive material. Authors may include links to Google pages in their article as long as they do not use Google logos as links.
Using images and other content from the internet
The internet is not a copyright free zone and copyright laws apply, sometimes more rigorously than for other mediums such as print. Authors must check the terms and conditions of the website and/or the copyright disclaimer; if these items are not visible please do not assume that re-using content is acceptable. Please visit our Publishing Ethics policy page for full details.
It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that they comply with Maney’s copyright and ethics (including plagiarism) policies. Strong policies in these areas protect the rights of authors, editors, reviewers and publishers alike ensuring the reputation of the publication and copyright holders. Please click here for our full Publishing Ethics policy.
This journal supports the ethical principles set out by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) available on their website.
Maney is a member of CrossCheck, the multi-publisher initiative to combat plagiarism and redundant publication. Submissions are checked for similarity against the CrossCheck database using iThenticate software. View Maney’s plagiarism policy. Find out more about CrossCheck.
This journal accepts colour illustrations and any colour illustrations will be printed in full colour in the print and online format.
ManeyTrack
Once an issue has moved into typesetting, each corresponding author will receive login details for Maney Track, Maney Publishing's web-based production tracking system. Authors are able to view the live production status of articles. Key estimated and actual production stages and dates, such as expected proof receipt and publication information are displayed, and can be accessed by the author at any time.
ManeyTrack also offers authors a secure and quick location for the payment and tracking of orders for offprints, issue copies (if the journal has a print offering) and to make an article open access via Maney's MORE OpenChoice offering.
Digital Object Identifier
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique identifier assigned to a document by the publisher. The assigned DOI never changes and therefore is the ideal way to cite and link to electronic documents, particularly ‘Advance Articles’ because they have not yet received full bibliographic information.
Proofs
Proofs will be supplied by email to either the first-named or nominated author. Proofs will be supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections only, not for general revision, alteration, or changes to illustrations. Revised proofs will not generally be supplied to authors. Significant changes to the article will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. Authors may be asked to bear the cost of excessive changes, other than those caused by typesetting errors.
Some journals manage the proofing process electronically. For those journals which do offer this, authors will need to download Adobe Reader, available free from http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader, and use the Comment and/or Editing Tools to indicate changes directly onto the PDF file.
Authors may also email the necessary corrections as a list citing the page and line number where a correction needs to be made, how the text currently appears, and what it should be changed to, or use the BSI proof marks to indicate changes on a paper printout of the PDF file and email or fax.
All corrections should be returned together within three (3) days of receipt, by email or fax, unless advised otherwise. Please ensure all corrections are sent in one communication as inclusion of subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed.
Eprints
Corresponding authors receive a screen-resolution PDF file (Eprint) of the published version of their article by email upon publication of the article within an issue, which may be forwarded and shared with all co-authors, and other research associates, but it cannot be archived or put on a personal or institutional website, or in a subject-based open access repository. More information is also provided in the Assignment of Copyright form distributed to authors (see the Supporting Resources section in the right-hand column of this page to download this form). Orders for digital offprints may be made at the time proofs are distributed, via ManeyTrack. Log-in details for ManeyTrack are supplied via email to the corresponding author once the issue in which the article to be published has moved into typesetting.
Corresponding authors may purchase printed copies of the issue in which their article is published, via ManeyTrack once they receive their Eprint (please see above).
Permissions
Any reproduction from this journal, apart from for the purposes of review, private research or 'fair dealing', must have the permission of the copyright holder. Requests for such permission must be addressed to permissions@maneypublishing.com who acts on behalf of the copyright holder. In all cases, acknowledgement of the journal must be made. Maney is a member of STM and permissions are granted and any charges made according to the guidelines offered by this organization.
