Author Guidelines

ARTILUGIO is an open-access e-journal that addresses diversity in the contemporary arts through the integration of the performing, visual, audiovisual, and sound arts, as well as through performance art, artivism, and action art, among other liminal practices. Artilugio’s main interest lies in interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and indisciplinary practices and in the different approaches taken in the study of contemporary arts.

Artilugio is coordinated by the Arts Production and Research Center (CePIA) of the Faculty of Arts, National University of Córdoba (UNC), and calls for original and unpublished academic essays, artistic productions, and artistic projects. Submissions aiming at publication in the section “Indeterminación” are subject to a single-blind review process, while those aiming at publication in the section “Reflexiones” are subject to a double-blind peer review process. Artilugio engages artists, researchers, critics, and theorists in discussions with the academic and artistic communities and with the general public interested in artistic and cultural practices.

ARTILUGIO has been indexed in the following databases, directories, and international networks: Latindex (Catalog 2.0), Núcleo Básico, REDIB, CORE, ERIH PLUS, BASE, PKP Index, EuroPub, ROAD, DRJI, I2OR, RevistasAA.net, ICI World of Journals, Latinoamericana Revistas, MIAR, DARDO, Modern Language Association, LatAm-Studies, Advanced Sciences Index, CiteFactor, JournalTOCs, SIUBDU, Biblioteca Electrónica de Ciencia y Tecnología, Mirabel, LatinREV, Sherpa-Romeo, Malena (CAICyT-CONICET), AURA. Artilugio is also under evaluation for indexing in other databases and directories.

ARTILUGIO calls for academic essays and artistic productions in digital visual, audiovisual, or audio formats. A central theme is proposed for each issue in the hope that all published work provides particular viewpoints to it.

PAPER SELECTION PROCESS

Submitted articles will be reviewed by the Editorial Board in order to verify they follow the journal’s editorial norms, they are in line with the journal’s contents and with the proposed central theme, they have not committed any form of plagiarism -including self-plagiarism-, and they include quality content.
If the paper meets these criteria, the Editorial Board will send it to Ad Hoc Reviewers. This committee is composed of researchers and specialists that assess formal and methodological coherence, the contributions made to the corresponding field of study, and the unique approach adopted in relation to the central theme proposed.
The decisions made by the Editorial Board and by the Ad Hoc Reviewers cannot be appealed.
During evaluation, all works are subject to an external double-blind peer review process that protects the identity of the author(s) and reviewer(s) in order to ensure the quality of the contents.
Each reviewer will reach a verdict and determine whether the submitted paper has been either accepted, accepted (with modifications), or not accepted. Results will be announced in a five-month period at the most.
Only those articles that have received two positive reviews will be published. If there is a disparity of opinions (one positive review and one negative review), the article will be sent to a third committee.
Once this assessment process has finished, the accepted articles will be proofread and formatted. At this stage, author(s) can be required to make modifications or add further clarification to the text.
Author(s) must send a statement of responsibility, a photo licensing agreement, and a transfer of rights agreement (you can consult the template and more details in the section Sworn statement).
Any other aspect not covered by these terms will be settled by the Editorial Board together with the Consultative Academic Committee.

“INDETERMINACION” || Open call for artistic productions

“Indeterminación” calls for original artistic productions and projects that examine problems of contemporary creation through research-creation methodologies or art-based research. Both finished and unfinished works in line with the central theme proposed for each issue and from any artistic field of study are selected. These works can be captured in different formats (film, photographs, sound recordings, etc.) that create agitated borders between the ephemerality of performance and the permanence of documentation.

These submissions are subject to a single-blind review process. In each issue, an Ad Hoc Committee composed of specialists is convened to evaluate the formal, conceptual, and aesthetic coherence of each work; its contribution to the artistic field it belongs to; and the unique approach adopted in relation to the central theme proposed for each issue. Only those works submitted within the established deadlines will be considered.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Productions can include authors or co-authors.
These submissions must be unpublished, meaning that they will not be accepted if they were previously published or if they are under evaluation in other journals (however, it is possible for them to have been presented in exhibitions or in artistic or academic meetings as long as the information about these meetings is properly mentioned).
Submitted productions must have been especially carried out for the issue in which they will be published. Otherwise, they must be unpublished. Productions that have been previously assessed or published (in another journal or exhibition or for an award or subsidy) will not be accepted.
Productions can be presented in a written, audiovisual, visual or audio format. They must be ready for online publication in Artilugio’s website.
Each production must address the central theme proposed for each issue.
Productions submitted after the established deadline will not be taken into consideration.
Every author must read and accept Artilugio’s “Code of Ethics” and plagiarism policy, in this way exempting the journal from any issue derived from an infringement of copyright.
Author(s) retain copyright and transfer first-publication rights to Artilugio -which will use it for academic purposes only and on a non-profit basis- in compliance with Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
Artilugio publishes annually on September 1st. The deadline to submit originals is March 1st. Works that are submitted after this date will not be taken into consideration.
Submitting an article implies acknowledging and accepting these guidelines and the editorial policies adopted by Artilugio.
