CALL FOR PAPERS - Animation Studies
Society for Animation Studies members are invited to submit
conference papers from conferences they participated in, especially
SAS conferences past and present in the growing subject area of
animation studies. Non-members are welcome to submit papers, but
must join the society before an accepted paper can be
published. (Membership details available at
<http://animationstudies.org>animationstudies.org).
All papers are subject to peer review and presentation; acceptance
of a paper at a conference is not a guarantee of publication. If a
paper is accepted for a conference but not presented it can still be
considered, subject to agreement by the editorial board.
Papers will be blind refereed where possible and comments collated
and returned to the author by the editor.
The journal editions run on an annual basis with papers accepted
throughout the year but the volume closed on calendar year end. In
order to simplify the refereeing and submission, papers will be
accepted at deadlines throughout the year in response to CFP. We
invite authors to submit papers in spring and late summer/early autumn.
We strongly encourage the submission of past papers in order to
establish a useful archive of work which members can access. We also
encourage the submission of links to other publications or
bibliographic citations where conference papers have been published elsewhere.
Papers are not limited to word length, though it is expected that
the paper will not exceed that of the presentation, or a reasonable
approximation of it. Authors may edit their conference
presentations, but the text must provide a reasonable representation
of the material presented at the conference.
Images are welcomed but authors must seek permissions to reproduce
them in the journal. Rights owners must be identified in the
caption, in the manner specified by the rights owner in a release
form signed by that individual. Articles are published under
Creative Commons regulations, which allows the author to retain
copyright but allows free distribution of the work for educational
purposes. Creative Commons is in line with progressive online
publishing practices.
The Harvard Referencing system will be used. All papers should be
submitted in Microsoft Word document files (.doc) or Rich Text
Format (.rtf). Please submit images in low resolution, web-ready formats.
Email your essay, including a cover page stating your name, your
institutional affiliation (now and at the time of the paper
presentation), the name of the paper, the conference at which it was
published, the date of presentation (or conference dates), four to
seven keywords pertaining to the article, a one- to two-sentence
blurb, and any significant information related to the editing of the
paper. Please also provide contact information suitable for
publication with the paper.
Deadline for papers is Friday 8th April 2011. Submit all proposals
to Dr Nichola Dobson, Editor at
