Journal Announcement

Theme: All possible discourses on Intangible Heritage

The International Journal of Intangible Heritage is a refereed academic and
professional journal for the cultural and heritage sectors. First published
in May 2006, the Journal embraces theory and practice in relation to the
study, preservation, interpretation and promotion of intangible heritage. In
recent years, academics, researchers and professionals in many different
parts of the cultural and heritage sectors have increasingly been
collecting, systematising, documenting and communicating intangible heritage
and in particular supporting both its traditional and contemporary
expressions.

The need for such an international publication was one of the significant
outcomes of the 2004 Triennial General Conference of the International
Council of Museums (ICOM) held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on the theme
`Museums and Intangible Heritage`. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism,
Republic of Korea agreed to provided support for this Journal through the
National Folk Museum of Korea. Following the establishment of the Journal
Secretariat in the Museum and the convening of an International Editorial
Board and Editorial Advisory Committee in late 2005, the Volume One was
published in May 2006; Volume Two in May 2007 and Volume Three is due to
come out in May 2008. The printed editions are supplemented by an electronic
edition in PDF format at http://www.ijih.org .

Papers submitted by the end of October each year are refereed and considered
by the Editorial Board at its Annual Meeting in January-February. The final
selection of papers is published in May-June. However, papers submitted
after October are saved and considered for the subsequent volume.

The Journal welcomes submissions of contributions covering all areas of
intangible heritage studies and practice.

The inaugural volume included papers mainly from the ICOM 2004 Triennial
General Conference. From Volume Two the Journal has established three
categories of contributions as follows:

(1) Main articles (refereed), normally between 4,000 and 6,000 words,
excluding notes, bibliography and illustrations. An A4 size page of plain
text averages around 800 words, and the printed paper will normally be
allocated six, eight or ten journal pages according to length and
illustrations. Prospective authors should consult the Editorial Board
through the Editor-in-Chief <editor at ijih.org> if a longer contribution is
proposed.

(2) Short communications (refereed), of up to 2,000 words (two to four
journal pages).

(3) News and reviews items of up to 1,000 words on relevant new conferences,
publications or projects (which will be subject to normal editing by not
formal refereeing.)

We are now seeking suitable contributions of all three categories: main
papers, short communications, and news and reviews, on any aspect of
intangible heritage.

Manuscripts submitted should not be under consideration by any other journal
or publisher, nor should they have been previously published elsewhere. If a
manuscript is based on a lecture, conference paper or talk, specific details
should accompany the submission. There are detailed Instructions to
Contributors on the preparation of manuscripts and illustrations in previous
volumes of the Journal (in both the printed and electronic editions). These
are available on the Journal website at <http://www.ijih.org >.

Paper proposals for the Journal can be submitted to the Journal Secretariat:
<secretariat at ijih.org> (postal address below) at any time. Papers should be
in electronic format, wherever possible should be submitted via e-mail. The
submitted text (including an Abstract except for News and Reviews items),
should be sent as an attachment to your e-mail message. Texts should be
saved and submitted in unjustified text alignment in Rich Text Format (RTF).
Illustrations should not be `embedded` in the text. Electronic images of the
required quality (see the Instructions to Contributors), should be submitted
as separate files. Original photographs should not be submitted at this
stage, but a list summarising these should be included.

Please provide the full postal address of each author and of any
institutional affiliation where applicable, including the country name, and
an e-mail address contact address for each Author. Include at the end of the
manuscript a short biography (80 words) for each Author.
