Submissions

Submission deadline:

Issue 7 details: 

Issue 7 will remain un-themed, which is to say that we are accepting submissions of all topics and media relating to the material study of cultural heritage objects.

Submission Guidelines
We are seeking papers in two categories:

  • Feature Articles: Fully developed research articles (up to 6,000 words) that offer comprehensive studies. Feature articles will be peer-reviewed.
  • Technical Notes: Shorter pieces (up to 1,000 words) presenting preliminary findings, ongoing research, or novel insights into the material aspects​​. Technical notes will not be peer reviewed.

See additional details here: Materia Submission Guidelines. As a born-digital journal, we accept submissions that use additional media, such as audio or video, in support of the article's thesis.

Submission Deadline
We will accept papers through January 15, 2026. Please contact us if you have submission ideas you’d like to discuss. Early submissions are encouraged. For more information on submission guidelines and to send your manuscript, please visit https://materiajournal.com/ or email us at materiajournal@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you!
