JAR publishes research in a manner that respects artists' modes of presentation and incorporates web-enabled possibilities for a mix of media, collaboration, debate, and discussion. The journal promotes experimental approaches to both 'writing' and 'reading' research, while carefully fulfilling the expectations of a peer-reviewed academic journal. We welcome submissions from across and between disciplines, from artists worldwide, with or without academic affiliation.

Call for submissions: As interest in the Journal is growing, we have moved to three issues a year. JAR7 is currently in review and we are now seeking submissions for JAR8. The forthcoming deadlines for submissions are 15 October 2014 and 16 January 2015.
