STANDARD SUBMISSION PROCESS

For Guest Editors and Authors

The Co-Editors of the Journal of Museum Education welcome the submission of proposals to guest-edit themed sections and original papers on theory, training, and practice in the museum education field.

Each JME issue features an introduction from one of the Co-Editors, a guest-edited themed section featured on the cover of the journal, and articles about new research, current trends, tools, frameworks, and case studies, perspectives, and book, exhibit, and program reviews. Articles are peer-reviewed in a double-blind process.

THEMED SECTIONS

Guest editors shape themed sections of the JME. If you are interested in submitting a proposal to guest edit a section of the JME please follow the guidelines outlined in the document download below. Themed sections generally include 4-7 articles, plus an introduction by the guest editor.
