Author Guidelines

Guidelines for Submission to The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism has now adopted ScholarOne Manuscripts, for most online manuscript submission and peer review. The new system brings with it a whole host of benefits including:

• Quick and easy submission
• Administraction centralized and reduced
• Significant decrease in peer review times

From now on all submissions to the journal must be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jaac. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit. If you require assistance, please click the Get Help Now link that appears at the top right of every ScholarOne Manuscripts page.

Manuscripts, accompanied by a brief abstract, should be submitted in Word or RTF format. In general, papers should be under 7500 words using numbered endnotes without bibliography and written according to The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed. (University of Chicago Press, 2003). Submissions should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley's Author Services.

Author Services enables authors to track their article – once it has been accepted – through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.

OnlineOpen is available to authors of primary research articles who wish to make their article available to non-subscribers on publication, or whose funding agency requires grantees to archive the final version of their article. With OnlineOpen, the author, the author's funding agency, or the author's institution pays a fee to ensure that the article is made available to non-subscribers upon publication via Wiley Online Library, as well as deposited in the funding agency's preferred archive. For the full list of terms and conditions, see http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/onlineopen#OnlineOpen_Terms.
Any authors wishing to send their paper OnlineOpen will be required to complete the payment form available from our website at: https://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/onlineopen_order.asp.
Prior to acceptance there is no requirement to inform an Editorial Office that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen. All OnlineOpen articles are treated in the same way as any other article. They go through the journal's standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
