WHAT to submit?
ICON welcomes submissions of research articles of around 6,000-8,000 words; research briefs of 3,000-4,000 words; and particularly encourages submissions from authors for whom English is not their first language. Book reviews and essays are solicited. All papers are chosen by peer review, using a double blind process, and authors will be given editorial assistance to improve clarity and vigor of written expression (especially if you are not a native English speaker).
A typical issue of the journal comprises:
- papers based on original research
- specially invited papers on the history of technology and on interdisciplinary connections with other fields of research
- book and journal reviews
- evaluation of museum exhibits
