Call for Submissions
Metropolitan Museum Journal Vol. 59 (2024)
Due by 15 September 2023
Metropolitan Museum Journal, Vol. 56 (2021)
The Editorial Board of the peer-reviewed Metropolitan Museum Journal invites submissions of original research on works of art in the Museum’s collection.
Founded in 1968, the Metropolitan Museum Journal is a double blind, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published annually that features original research on the history, interpretation, conservation, and scientific examination of works of art in the Museum’s collection. Its scope encompasses the diversity of artistic practice from antiquity to the present day. The Journal encourages contributions offering critical and innovative approaches that will further our understanding of works of art.
The Journal publishes Articles and Research Notes. All texts must take works of art in the collection as the point of departure. Articles contribute extensive and thoroughly argued scholarship, whereas Research Notes are often smaller in scope, focusing on a specific aspect of new research or presenting a significant finding from technical analysis. The maximum length for articles is 8,000 words (including endnotes) and 10–12 images, and for research notes 4,000 words with 4–6 images.
Manuscripts are reviewed by the Journal Editorial Board, composed of members of the curatorial, conservation, and scientific departments, as well as scholars from the broader academic community. The process is double-blind peer review.
Articles and Research Notes in the Journal appear in print and online and are accessible in JStor on the University of Chicago Press website.
The deadline for submissions for Volume 59 (2024) is September 15, 2023.
