Call for Papers<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australian</strong> <strong>Ceramics</strong> UAC) is excited to announce a new peer review<br />
section to be incorporated into each issue. Our aim is to publish one article in each<br />
issue.<br />
What is 'peer review'?<br />
A paper written for peer review is <strong>of</strong> a more academic standing than a general article; it is not a<br />
platform for presenting a personal and subjective opinion. While not having to present an argument, it<br />
does have to draw upon existing knowledge in the field to support the author's conclusions and should<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer new information andlor interpretations or alternative insights. This analysis must be substantiated<br />
by comprehensive research - supported by citations - that locat es the thesis in context and also allows<br />
the reader to follow up references relevant to their own practice, thus contributing to the ongoing<br />
development <strong>of</strong> knowledge. Sometimes this review process is called 'refereeing'.<br />
<strong>The</strong> JAC is calling for articles focusing on any facet <strong>of</strong> ceramic discourse: contemporary artists and<br />
their works; historical perspectives on artists, art movements or time periods; glaze resea rch; research<br />
papers; technical innovations; and firing research . A wide breadth <strong>of</strong> subject matter is encouraged<br />
and should be <strong>of</strong> interest to ceramicists, potters and sculptors. galleries and collectors, educational<br />
institutions and their students.<br />
