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 adhere to generally accepted academic standards. All submissions should be in the most recent MLA style, and should be in Microsoft Word or a compatible format. Please submit all articles by sending an email with the submission attached to imagetext@english.ufl.edu.
- When submitting your article, include a brief biographical statement (40-80 words). Do not embed images in the text of your article; clearly indicate (along with Figure numbers, citation, and any descriptive labels) where images occur. Images or video should be sent in a .zip file or uploaded to the web, with a link provided, as the UF servers have a limit on message size. Images should be of the highest possible quality, and be in .png, .gif, or .jpg format.
- Authors should ahere to fair use policy when considering images; send only those that are necessary, and as few full pages as possible. Articles should engage elements of visual analysis, the imagetextual relationships in comics, and demonstrate a solid grounding in the theoretical issues relevant to the field.
- 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. 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 be submitted
according to the article submission guidelines (see above).
- 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.
