Editorial Stedelijk Studies: Topical, Urgent, High-Quality

Abstract

Stedelijk Studies is the new online journal for publishing research on current topics in the field of art and design. It offers high-quality, peer-reviewed academic research related to the Stedelijk Museum collection, its institutional history (such as education and conservation practice), and topical themes presented accessibly and attractively for international audiences of (up-and-coming) art professionals and those with an interest in art theory and history. With two thematic issues a year, Stedelijk Studies addresses key issues in modern and contemporary art and design. An international call for papers will be issued for each edition. Six to ten essays are then selected and peer-reviewed by two academics. Stedelijk Studies also publishes complete, stand-alone papers. As a platform for scholarly analysis, the journal enables researchers to respond swiftly to hot issues and make a vital contribution to the current discourse on art theory.
