21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual – Beiträge zur Kunstgeschichte und visuellen Kultur exclusively publishes original contributions in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish (other languages are equally welcome). Translations of articles published or forthcoming elsewhere or pre-publications of book chapters cannot be considered. Moreover, the editorial board also assumes that the manuscripts are offered to them exclusively and are not submitted simultaneously to another journal.

Submitted contributions will be evaluated by the editorial board and checked for plagiarism with PlagScan prior to a double blind peer review process. The editorial board will make a decision about publication based on the recommendations of the peer reviewers. Authors submitting manuscripts will be informed six months after submission whether their contribution has been accepted for publication and which changes may need to be incorporated. The editors retain the right to make stylistic changes, if need be.

Submissions should not exceed 60-70,000 characters (including spaces and footnotes). Reviews should not exceed 15,000 characters (including spaces). Manuscripts are to be submitted as a doc. attachment via email to the editors: 21-inquiries@unibe.ch. In order for the document to be considered, please make sure it corresponds to the style sheet guidelines [PDF] of 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual – Beiträge zur Kunstgeschichte und visuellen Kultur.
