Founded in 1947, the National Art Education Association's purpose is to promote art education through professional development, service, advancement of knowledge, and leadership. To that end, the Association holds public discussions and publishes books, journals, reports, surveys, flyers, and other materials.
More specifically, the following are five publication programs in which members are encouraged to submit for possible publication. They vary from the length of articles to the editorial mission. These summations are guidelines for author submissions. Inquiries should be directed to the specific editor at the address included.
NAEA publishes scholarly works, reference literature,
and research and curriculum materials, in print and
non-print formats. To propose a NAEA publication, please
submit a proposal package, as described below, to: NAEA
Professional Materials Committee, c/o NAEA, 1916 Association
Drive, Reston, VA 20191-1590.
- Title of proposed publication.
- Abstract of no more than 500 words containing the
central point, theme, and agenda.
- Market analysis that includes:
- Description of the intended audience.
- Significance of the work to the field of art
education and its importance relative to existing
literature.
- Delineation of the difference between your proposed
publication and other NAEA publications and existing
literature from other publishers.
- Complete outline of the proposed publication including:
- List of authors (full name of each) and their
vitae.
- Estimated length of publication.
- Sample chapters or sections.
- List and samples of graphic materials such as
charts, tables, photographs, and illustrations.
- When your proposal package is received at NAEA,
you will be notified and the package forwarded to
the chair of NAEA's Professional Materials Committee
(PMC).
- Each proposal is carefully reviewed by a panel composed
of the PMC chair and four members of the appropriate
subcommittee such as the Subcommittee of Association-Produced
Print Materials. Many proposals are received each
year, and the review can take several months; we appreciate
your patience.
- The PMC reports their recommendations to the NAEA
Board of Directors—whether to accept a proposed
publication, to accept it with some changes, or not
to publish it.
- The decision not to publish may be made for many
reasons, including:
- The topic covers issues and/or events of limited
or local interest.
- The proposal promotes a person or commercial
product.
- The proposed product does not meet the needs
of NAEA members.
- Sufficient information of the topic already
exists.
- Some proposals accepted for publication may require
edits and changes. (Reprints of already published
articles or chapters are usually not acceptable. If
you do include some in your proposal, please defend
their necessity to the final product.)
- In all cases, you will be notified in writing
of the Board's decision regarding your proposal. The
Board makes all decisions concerning approval and
budget allocation. The Association makes all decisions
concerning design, print run, and other details of
the production process.
- NAEA is a non-profit corporation; it cannot make
payments to authors. However, each author does receive
complimentary copies:
- All editors and single book authors receive
5 complimentary copies of their work.
- All authors within an edited book, such as an
anthology, receive 2 complimentary copies.

Studies in Art Education is a quarterly journal
which reports quantitative, qualitative, historical,
and philosophical research in art education, including
explorations of theory and practice in the areas of
art production, art criticism, aesthetics, art history,
human development, curriculum and instruction, and assessment.
Studies also publishes reports of applicable
research in related fields such as anthropology, education,
psychology, philosophy, and sociology.
Manuscripts must be typed, double-spaced, have appropriate
margins, consist of approximately 5,000 words, and include

The title page only should include the full names and
institutional affiliations of the authors, a running
head, and author identification notes. The first page
should include the title; subsequent pages should carry
page numbers and the running head. Submit two copies
and a CD copy, with copies of any tables, figures, or

Editor may further edit a manuscript prior to publication,
but author permission is obtained for extensive changes.
Accepted papers must be submitted in their final, approved
form in two hard copies and on computer disk.

Art Education is published bimonthly: January, March,
May, July, September and November. Topics deal with
issues of professional interest to art educators and
are suited to a diverse audience. Each issue of Art
Education addresses a theme or topic. Manuscripts accepted
for publication are scheduled for the earliest occasion
on which a theme is covered or an article is felt to
be appropriate for an issue. Factors which determine
when a manuscript is printed include space availability
after planned features are included, and consideration
of graphics, visuals, and layout. Because of the large
volume of manuscripts submitted each year, the review
process may take as long as ten weeks.
Manuscripts should be no longer than 3,000 words, and
conform to guidelines set in the Publication Manual
of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition
(2001). Photographs that add information to the accompanying
text are desired and must be accompanied by a release
form. All textual materials must be typed, double-spaced
with ample margins and pages numbered and supplied on
disk. The title should appear on the first page of the
text. The author's name, position or title, address,
and telephone number should be on a separate sheet.
Each submission is first read by the Editor, additional
copies are sent to members of the Editorial Review Board
or Review Panel for further consideration and detailed
review. The manuscript may then be edited and the author
notified of any substantive changes before a final decision
regarding publication is made. Galley proofs are sent
to the author for proofreading to accommodate typographical
mistakes or omissions.
Photographs related to any of the topics to be covered
in Art Education may be submitted without accompanying
text for possible use as illustrative material. Credit
will be given for photographs used. Guidelines for Photo
Essays are available from the Editor.

Translations is a biannual refereed publication, distributed
as a service to all NAEA members. Translations publishes
reviews of research that make research understandable
and usable in the K-12 practice of teaching art.
Papers submitted to Translations should be centered
on, but not limited to, demographics, conceptual foundations
(i.e., history, philosophy, and policy), curriculum,
instruction, contexts, student learning, evaluation,
or teacher education. The NAEA Research Briefing Papers
(1996) provides an in-depth explanation and discussion
of these eight content areas. Examples of specific content
of interest to K-12 educators include psychological
studies (such as teaching and learning strategies in
art, cognition and art, children's psycho-social development,
etc.); curriculum development, art content (including
but not limited to the nature of studio practice, art
criticism, art history, and the philosophy of art);
social, psychological, and philosophical foundations
of art and art education; and art education's role and
place in society (i.e., in relation to museums or museum
education, multiculturalism, general education, policy
issues, etc.). Finally, the roles and value of research
itself in art education might be reviewed. Reviews of
all research strategies from ethnographic to statistical
are welcome.
Papers should be no longer than 2,500 words including
references and include a "Highlights" section
that recaps the major points of the research. APA style
is preferred. Refer to recent copies of Translations
for the sense of organization and style or call the
editor for further details.
Submit three copies for blind review to: Dr. Mary Erickson,
Translations Editor, Arizona State University, Tempe,
AZ 85287-1505; E-mail: m.erickson@asu.edu
The NAEA Advisory provides practical information on
current issues, interests, and concerns. Topics for
Advisorys should be aimed at translating research and
theory into practice for the K-12 NAEA member.
K-12 teachers are encouraged to submit papers. Topics might include strategies for instruction and student learning; strategies for classroom organization and behavior management; assessment procedures related to art learning; incorporation of the National Visual Arts Standards into existing state and local curricula; alternative methods for teaching using technology; art instruction and higher-order thinking; issues related to teacher preparation; the incorporation of multiple-intelligences theories; conducting research in the art classroom; instructional practices in other cultures; and, art instruction in community contexts.
Papers should be no longer than 3-5 pages double-spaced including references (600-700 words). APA style is preferred. Refer to recent NAEA Advisory copies for the sense of organization and style or write the editor for further details.
