Call for Theme Proposals for MARTOR Issue Numbers 27/2022 and 28/2023
Deadline for receiving proposals: 30th of September 2020
The proposals are to be sent at: revistamartor@gmail.com
The annual MARTOR. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review, established in 1996, and thus entering its twenty-fourth year of uninterrupted publication, is a thematic interdisciplinary international journal that publishes academic articles from the fields of anthropology, ethnology, visual anthropology, museum studies, history, ethnomusicology, and art history. Although intended mainly for an academic audience, the Review is designed to be accessible to a wider audience too. The articles are published in either English or French in accordance with the journal’s submission guidelines to be consulted at martor.muzeultaranuluiroman.ro/for-authors. The journal accepts articles for publication based on a double-blind peer review process.
In addition to the print edition (300 to 800 copies/issue number) and publication on the dedicated website, MARTOR Review is listed and indexed in international databases: EBSCO, CEEOL, Index Copernicus, and Anthropological Index Online (AIO), and as of April 2018 it was also included in the MLA – Modern Language Association, Directory of Periodicals. Its featuring in international databases provides the museum with exponentially larger visibility within academic and professional environments, making the inclusion of the journal in more databases a priority.
In addition to the academic articles addressing the annual theme, the Review includes a Museum Studies section, showcasing the latest projects of the Museum of the Romanian Peasant, as well as other museums, and two more sections, Field Notes and Book Reviews. All the published texts are relevant for the established annual theme. Not least, the Review benefits from excellent graphic conditions in the form of highly expressive photographs, bridging art and ethnography and enhancing the sections of the journal. Further, the focus on visual anthropology is one of the Review’s distinguishing features.
We invite theme proposals for the MARTOR Review issues to be published in 2022 and 2023.
Given the interdisciplinary and editorial strategy adopted by MARTOR Review to pursue indexing in a large number of databases, the proposed theme must be theoretically significant for the field and international in its scope.
Please use the following format for your submissions:
• Title of the proposed theme;
• Editors (along with institutional affiliation);
• Importance of proposed theme (at least two arguments in support of the proposal);
• The (working) contributions that the editors feel they can count on, along with the names of the authors and the (working) titles of the articles.
Please note that the proposals will be first printed and submitted to the Museum’s Secretariat and then presented to the Scientific Committee in October 2020 for review and acceptance.
The call for theme proposals will also be published on the Review’s website thus enabling academics not affiliated with the Museum of the Romanian Peasant to submit proposals.
Please find below important information on the responsibilities of the editors of the thematic issues.
