Articles submitted should usually not exceed 10,000 words, including notes, and should adhere to generally accepted academic standards. All submissions should be in the most recent MLA style, and should be in Microsoft Word or a compatible format. Please refer to the ImageTexT website for more information.

Please submit your article with no identifying information (no name, university affiliation, etc.) present on the document. In addition to your article, please submit a cover letter (up to 300 words) and biographical statement (40-80 words). Do not embed images in the text of your article. In the body of the article where you would like the image to be placed, include the figure number and caption. Images and video should be uploaded in a .zip file. Images should be .png, .gif, or .jpg format of the highest possible quality, each named the corresponding figure number. To create a .zip file, please find Windows instructions here and Mac instructions here. 

Submissions containing images should be accompanied by a separate document providing alternative text for each image, referenced by figure numbers. This alternative text, which will appear when images do not load or when read by a screen reader, must be concise yet comprehensive enough to convey all necessary information for understanding the article. Further guidance on crafting alt text can be found here. ImageTexT may modify submitted alt text to improve accessibility.

Authors should adhere to fair use policy when considering images; send only those that are necessary, and as few full pages as possible. Articles should engage elements of visual analysis, the imagetextual relationships in comics, and demonstrate a solid grounding in the theoretical issues relevant to the field.
