Colnaghi Studies Journal

Review Process

Manuscripts are reviewed by the Journal's Editorial Committee. They may be submitted, complete including illustrations, at any time.

Authors will have the opportunity to review their texts after editing. We will endeavour to help early career and independent scholars to cover the cost of image licences, and each author will receive a hard copy of the volume in which his or her article appears.

Manuscript Format

Manuscripts should be submitted as double-spaced Word files. In addition to the text, the manuscript must include endnotes, captions for illustrations, photographic credits, and a 200-word abstract. Endnotes should be linked to and appear at the end of the text file.

Style Guidelines

For the style of captions and bibliographic references in endnotes, authors are referred to the Chicago Manual of Style and instructions on the Colnaghi Foundation's website: www.colnaghifoundation.org/studies-journal.php

Citations

Please provide a list of all bibliographic citations that includes, for each title: full name(s) of author or authors; title and subtitle of book or article and periodical; place, publisher, and date of publication; volume number, if any; and page, plate, and/or figure number(s).

For citations in notes, please cite the full reference the first time it appears, and then an abbreviated version which includes only the last name(s) of the author or authors and a short title.

Illustrations

When submitting manuscripts, authors should include a PDF of all illustrations labeled with figure numbers and full captions, including artist or school, date, medium, dimensions in cm, and current location. Please do not embed images within text documents.

If the manuscript is accepted, the author is expected to provide publication-quality images as well as copyright permissions to reproduce them in both the print and electronic editions of the Journal.

Image Requirements

Height precedes width and then depth in dimensions cited.

The Journal requires either digital scans of at least 300 dpi at 3,000 pixels wide, colour transparencies (preferably 203 × 254 cm but 102 × 152 cm is also acceptable), or glossy black-and-white photographs (preferably 203 × 254 cm with white borders) of good quality and in good condition.

A separate illustration list should also be provided as a Word file, indicating the figure numbers, the picture’s orientation, and any instructions for cropping.
