IMAG #18 & IMAG #19: Call for Submissions
The IMG quartet remind the InSEA community of issue #19’s theme: Crossroads. When, how, where did two “lines” cross in your life that influenced your path as art educators and or as artists? What pedagogy do you include that might influence the crossroads of those you work with? How might a cultural, political, aesthetic, and or global crossroads impacted your artistic and educational journey? Have artistic media somehow crossed paths in your life? We look forward to a wide range of visual essay submissions representing our global community;

Editorial Procedures
The IMAG Editorial Board evaluates the quality of submitted papers using the peer review process, an integral part of publishing. The final response to authors is supervised by the principal co-editors (or a guest editor), based on preliminary editorial evaluation and reviewer’s comments. The principal co-editors are responsible for delegating tasks to editorial members, managing submission, peer review process, and final decision for each manuscript.
All papers submitted are subject to peer review. The papers are evaluated by members of the editorial board and refereed within one month (average time for review; might vary from one to three months). Upon acceptance the papers are published online within three to six months.
Every IMAG issue is a collaborative project between editors and authors: the graphic editor can edit figures, change the image sequence, and choose a layout different from that which is proposed by the authors. Manuscripts submitted to IMAG will be considered for publication with the understanding that the same work has not been published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original work with appropriately cited works of other authors used in the manuscript. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author's responsibility to notify the publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. When a reader discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in an essay in IMAG, or has any other complaint about editorial content (plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication and falsification, simultaneous submissions, duplicate publication, overlapping publications, redundant publications, selective reporting, misleading reporting, improper author contribution or attribution, gift authorship, citation manipulation, impact factor manipulation, index/influence measure manipulation, undeclared/fake financial support for publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, etc.), he or she should make a complaint by e-mail to: secretary.insea[at]gmail.com.
Policy of screening for plagiarism: Papers submitted to IMAG will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection tools. IMAG will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.
The views expressed in each issue of IMAG are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the view of the Society of any of our Boards. InSEA takes no moral or legal responsibility for the content of essays hosted in IMAG which is intended solely as a service to our members.
