International Journal of Arts Management

• All papers submitted to the International Journal of Arts Management are initially screened by the Editor for suitability. Papers passing the initial screen are sent to reviewers.
• All papers are subject to a double-blind refereeing process. Authorship of papers under consideration is anonymous to the reviewers, and the identities of reviewers are not revealed to the authors.
• All papers should be submitted electronically, preferably in Microsoft Word, to ijam@hec.ca. Papers may be submitted in either French or English.
• No contribution that has been published elsewhere will be accepted unless expressly invited or arranged for by the Editor. Papers and contributions accepted for publication become the copyright of the Publisher unless otherwise stated.
• Authors submitting papers and articles should specify in which section of the Journal they wish to have their contribution placed: “Academic” or “Practice.” Academic contributions should be between 4,000 and 7,000 words in length and should include a section titled “Implications for Management”. Practitioner contributions should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words. All submissions should be typewritten and double-spaced.
• All papers should be accompanied by up to six keywords and by a short abstract (100 to 150 words) outlining aims, main conclusions and, if applicable, the methodology used.
• Papers should be accompanied by a short biography for each author (about 25 words), including, if appropriate, the organization with which he or she is associated. Titles of organizations should be first written in full and thereafter abbreviated. The names of authors and institutions should appear only on the first page of the submitted manuscript so they can be removed before the manuscript is sent to the reviewers.
• Tables, figures, appendices and any other graphics or illustrations should be placed at the very end of the manuscript, after the references. The author should indicate where each of these is to appear in the published article.

Notes should be numbered consecutively and double-spaced on a separate, attached sheet. Citations within the text should consist of the author’s last name and year of publication, enclosed within parentheses, and should be inserted before punctuation or at a logical break in the sentence. If several citations are needed, they should be presented alphabetically and separated by semicolons. A page number should be given only if necessary. If the author’s name has just been given in the text, the year in parentheses is sufficient. If two or more works by an author were published in the same year, they should be distinguished with a, b, etc., after the year. For works by four or more authors, “et al.” should be used—for example: Smith’s latest proposal (1979) has been questioned by some (Ames, 1981; Brown, 1980) but is generally accepted by others (Fritz, 1979; Lang, 1979; Rotwang, 1984). Investigators (Fiest et al., 1985; Hughes, McGill and Hall, 1981; Lee and King, 1983)have found that… References should be double-spaced and presented on a separate, attached sheet. Works by a single author should be listed chronologically.
