FORUM+ for research and arts
FORUM+ is the peer reviewed journal for research and arts in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Aims and scope
The journal explores the latest trends in research in the arts, which is gaining importance in higher arts education in Flanders and the Netherlands. FORUM+ stimulates the dialogue between research in the arts, critical reflection and the social context in which it is established: this way the journal offers a platform for creative approaches and critical reflections on our world.
The arts are deliberately defined in a broad sense: music, drama, dance, (audio-)visual arts. The interdisciplinary profile of FORUM+ offers room for discipline-related issues, but also allows for the exposure of cross-links and differences. The title reflects this intention: the journal wants to be a forum for the exchange of ideas, with a plus.
FORUM+ is primarily aimed at researchers, teachers and students in the field of music, theater, dance, (audio)visual and applied arts, but it also brings current developments of research in the arts to the art-loving public. For this FORUM+ delivers accessibility in form and content, positioning itself in between an academic and a cultural journal.
FORUM+ publishes articles and visual essays in Dutch and English that stem from original research and are peer-reviewed by the editorial staff and a member of the editorial advisory board with specific expertise in this field. The editorial board also welcomes short contributions such as visual essays, podcasts, interviews, reviews and reflective essays. In this way FORUM+ provides a platform for the many ways in which research in the arts is expressed and articulated today.
Frequency
FORUM+ is published three times a year (autumn, spring, summer) by Amsterdam University Press (AUP) and the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp (RCA), in collaboration with the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA).
Publication ethics
Publisher AUP and FORUM+ endorse the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines and will pursue cases of suspected research and publication misconduct (e.g. falsification, unethical experimentation, plagiarism, inappropriate image manipulation, redundant publication).
Folio
FORUM+ is part of the non-profit organisation Folio, which supports the interests of (online) magazines and journals and allows readers to immerse themselves in an enormous range of content from Flemish magazines on literature, art, culture and heritage.
