Journal of the Institute of Conservation

Articles for the Journal of the Institute of Conservation are now
published online at

    <URL:http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/rcon>

before they appear in the printed issue of the Journal, and can
therefore be published much sooner than before.

Articles first appear online after they have been peer reviewed,
edited and accepted for publication. These articles (known as
Accepted Manuscript or Accepted Author Version) appear in the Latest
articles section under the Accepted Author Version part of the
webpage, with a DOI number given to them (see for example 'The
importance of understanding terminology of collagen and gelatine in
the study of parchment', by Dr Lee Gonzalez and Professor Tim Wess).

Once the Accepted Manuscript articles have been typeset and proofs
of the typesetting agreed, they appear in the Latest articles
section again, but this time in a format as they will appear in the
printed version of the Journal (as the Version of Record--see for
example 'Blue flag with yellow tiger? Flags, authenticity and
identity', by Frances Lennard, Nancy Pollak, Chunmei Lin and
Wan-Ping Chen).

Once an issue of the Journal is ready for printing, all relevant
articles will be assigned to that issue, and will appear in the
Current issue section as well as in the printed version.

This move to online publication means that submissions of excellent
quality can now be peer reviewed, edited, accepted and published
online as the Accepted Manuscript in as little as a few months.

All current and future submissions to the Journal will appear online
in these different formats as well as in the printed issues. Access
to all of these articles, and back issues of The Conservator and The
Paper Conservator will soon be available to Icon members for free.

Happy writing and submitting
