Submissions
Currently, ImageTexT is soliciting articles for forthcoming
general and special topic issues. For general submissions, see below. For special issues, see the Special Issues Page. Submissions should follow the following format and
should be sent as attachments to imagetext@english.ufl.edu
Each issue of ImageTexT features at least two sections: Articles and Reviews,
with translations included on an availability basis. These sections have
different approaches and different editorial policies.
- Articles
- Articles submitted should usually not exceed 10,000 words including
notes and should be presented to generally accepted academic standards.
Preferred style formats include MLA, APA, and Chicago. Please submit all
articles by sending an email with the submission attached (including images, video etc.) to imagetext@english.ufl.edu.
If you cannot send attachments of this size please send a copy of your article
to the address below. All postal mail submissions must include a copy of
the article in electronic form on either a floppy disk or a CD along with
3 print copies of the article. Articles should be submitted preferably in
HTML, or as Microsoft Word, StarOffice, or OpenOffice documents. Webbed
essays are encouraged.
- Reviews
- All potential reviewers should first contact ImageTexT via email (imagetext@english.ufl.edu)
to make sure that ImageTexT is interested in the review and to
set a deadline for the review. Reviews should relate to the scholarly study
of comics, animation, and of visual rhetoric in general. Non-academic reviews for comics,
graphic novels, and comic collections will generally not be accepted; however, academically based reviews of comics and graphic novels (those that also consider comics scholarship, the history of comics, comics production, comics and culture, and other such aspects) are encouraged. Reviews
are generally between 1,000 - 3,000 words. Reviews should also be submitted
via email as Microsoft Word, StarOffice/OpenOffice
documents, or in RTF format. Please see our list of books for which we are
actively requesting reviews. This list is by no means inclusive, so please
email us to suggest other
books. Unfortunately, we cannot at the present time provide copies of these books to reviewers.
- Translations
- Translators should also first contact ImageTexT via email (imagetext@english.ufl.edu)
to make sure that ImageTexT is interested in the translation and
to set a deadline for the translation submission. ImageTexT is
greatly interested in translating previously untranslated comics scholarship
into English.
