Instructions to Authors
Authors should submit their manuscript through the journal's online submission site. Please be sure to include the .bib file if you are submitting a .tex file as the typesetter cannot typeset references from a .pdf file. Manuscript submission fee: Nonmembers US$70; the submission fee is waived for members. An abstract of not more than 100 words should accompany each manuscript. Footnotes should also be double spaced and numbered sequentially. A style sheet is available to download (PDF file).
PERMISSIONS FOR ILLUSTRATIONS AND FIGURES
Permission to reproduce copyright material, for print and online publication in perpetuity, must be cleared and if necessary paid for by the author; this includes applications and payments to DACS, ARS, and similar licensing agencies where appropriate. Evidence in writing that such permissions have been secured from the rights-holder must be made available to the editors. It is also the author's responsibility to include acknowledgements as stipulated by the particular institutions. Oxford Journals can offer information and documentation to assist authors in securing print and online permissions: please see the Guidelines for Authors section. Information on permissions contacts for a number of main galleries and museums can also be provided.
