International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities open access | peer reviewed
Presentazione
magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities è la rivista interdisciplinare del Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) soggetta a double-blind peer review con pubblicazione semestrale on-rolling-basis e in open access con Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. È indicizzata in Scopus con livello Q1 per gli studi letterari e ha ottenuto dall’ANVUR il riconoscimento della Classe A per l’area 10/B1 di storia dell’arte. Tra i suoi autori e nel comitato scientifico conta accademici di rilievo inserendosi nel dibattito internazionale e nel discorso metodologico delle Digital and Public Humanities quale base per lo sviluppo collaborativo di risorse durevoli, riutilizzabili e condivise per la ricerca, la didattica e la terza missione. Negli anni la rivista si è evoluta in una piattaforma aperta negli ambiti delle Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public Art History, Digital and Public History, Digital Cultural Heritage, e Digital and Public Archaeology, abbracciando tematiche di portata globale: Europa Occidentale e Orientale, Vicino ed Estremo Oriente, le Americhe. La Rivista ha avuto origine da un progetto di eccellenza MIUR incardinato nel Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia. Il nome magazén evoca la definizione storica dei locali pubblici nella Repubblica di Venezia, ossia luoghi di varia umanità e faccende tra cui scambi di informazione, accordi commerciali e banco dei pegni.

[the journal accepts abstract proposals on a rolling basis to be considered for the next volumes]
––––––––––
magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), which undergoes double-blind peer review and is published twice per year in open access and on-rolling-basis by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. It is indexed in Scopus as Q1 for Literature and Literary Theory, while it has earned the Italian ANVUR classification as Grade A journal in the area 10/B1 for art history.
Counting renowned scholars among its advisory editors and authors, the journal covers the international debate and methodological discourse in the field of digital and public humanities as the basis for collaborative development of durable, reusable, and shared resources for research, learning, and public outreach. Over the years, the journal developed into an open platform for Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Museum Studies, and Textual Scholarship, covering a wide range of topics – Western and Eastern Europe, Middle and Far East, and the Americas.
The Journal originated from a project of excellence funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and University (MIUR) based at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. The name magazén refers to the historical definition of public houses in the Republic of Venice, which were thriving places of diverse human deeds, including information exchange, commercial bargains, and pawnshops.
Call for papers and edited issues | Volume 2025
magazén is accepting abstract proposals to its 2025 volume that highlight recent challenges as well as cutting edge experiences in the Digital and Public Humanities from local to international level. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Museum Studies, and Textual Scholarship. magazén draws particular attention to the public aspects of these interdisciplinary domains, hosting research projects that hold firm to the principle of audience involvement from their very inception, rather than having public interaction as a derivative result of scholarly work. Eventually, the abstract proposal should address the following questions: What kind of materials and research questions are concerned? What digital/public methods and tools are employed, and what is their added value in tackling humanistic research aims? If the prospective paper addresses a case study or a particular project, authors should please state whether it has been completed and already made available to the research community, or whether it is still a work in progress.
The Editorial Board is open to host single paper proposals from international scholars as well as to cover entire issues with guest editors.
Submissions | Abstracts and guidelines
For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title and a 250-500 word-long abstract together with a short biographical note and possibly also a provisional bibliography. All materials should be sent by December 1, 2024, via the submission portal using the link below. Selection notification will be sent out within three weeks from the submission deadline.
Finalised contributions are expected to be 25,0000-35,000 characters long (spaces, notes and bibliography included) and will undergo double-blind peer review. Accepted languages are Italian and English. All texts need an English abstract. The finalised paper must stick to the ‘Editorial Guidelines’ of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that should not comply with editorial guidelines or whose English linguistic form should not reach a sufficient level of quality will not be accepted. Please note that the journal does not offer language proof-reading services to the authors, who must also secure all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and other media.
The journal accepts abstract proposals on a rolling basis which will be considered for the next volume.

Ethical Code of magazén. International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities
magazén. International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities is a peer-reviewed scientific journal whose policy is inspired by the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Ethical Code. See the Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publisher’s responsibilities
The Publisher must provide the Journal with adequate resources and the guidance of experts, in order to carry out its role in the most professional way, aiming at the highest quality standard.
The Publisher must have a written agreement that defines the relationship with the owner of the Journal and/or the Editor-in-Chief. The agreement must comply with the Code of Behavior for Publishers of Scientific Journals, as established by COPE.
The relationship among the Editor-in-Chief, the Advisory Board and the Publisher is based on the principle of publishing independence.
Editors’ responsibilities
The Editor-in-Chief and the Advisory Board of magazén alone are responsible for the decision to publish the articles submitted.
Submitted articles, after having been checked for plagiarism by means of the anti-plagiarism software Compilatio that is used by the University and is made available to us, will be sent to at least two reviewers. Final acceptance presumes the implementation of possible amendments, as required by the reviewers and under the supervision of the magazén Editor-in-Chief.
The magazén Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board must evaluate each submitted paper in compliance with the Journalʼs policy, i.e. exclusively on the basis of its scientific content, without discrimination of race, sex, gender, creed, ethnic origin, citizenship, or the scientific, academic and political position of the Authors.
Allegations of misconduct
If the magazén Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board notice (or receive notifications of) mistakes or inaccuracies, conflict of interest or plagiarism in a published article, they will immediately warn the Author and the Publisher and will undertake the necessary actions to resolve the issue. They will do their best to correct the published content whenever they are informed that it contains scientific errors or that the authors have committed unethical or illegal acts in connection with their published work. If necessary, they will withdraw the article or publish a recantation.
All complaints are handled in accordance with the guidelines published by the COPE.
Concerns and complaints must be addressed to the following e-mail ecf_support@unive.it. The letter should contain the following information:
- complainant’s personal information;
- title, author(s), publication date, DOI;
- complaint(s);
- declaration that the complainant has no conflict of interest, or declaration of an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Authors’ responsibilities
Stylesheet
Authors must follow the Guidelines for Authors to be downloaded from the magazén website.
Authors must explicitly state that their work is original in all its parts and that the submitted paper has not been previously published, nor submitted to other journals, until the entire evaluation process is completed. Since no paper gets published without significant revision, earlier dissemination in conference proceedings or working papers does not preclude consideration for publication, but Authors are expected to fully disclose publication/dissemination of the material in other closely related publications, so that the overlap can be evaluated by the magazén Editor-in-Chief.
Authorship
Authors are strongly encouraged to use their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This will ensure the authors’ visibility and correct citation of their work.
Authorship must be correctly attributed; all those who have given a substantial contribution to the design, organisation and accomplishment of the research the article is based on, must be indicated as Co-Authors. Please ensure that: the order of the author names is correct; the names of all authors are present and correctly spelled, and that affiliations are up-to-date.
The respective roles of each co-author should be described in a footnote. The statement that all authors have approved the final version should be included in the disclosure.
Conflicts of interest and financing
Authors, under their own responsibility, must avoid any conflict of interest affecting the results obtained or the interpretations suggested. The magazén Editor-in-Chief will give serious and careful consideration to suggestions of cases in which, due to possible conflict of interest, an Author’s work should not be reviewed by a specific scholar. Authors should indicate any financing agency or the project the article stems from.
Quotations
Authors must see to it that all works consulted be properly quoted. If works or words of others are used, they have to be properly paraphrased or duly quoted. Quotations between “double quotes” (or «angled quotation marks» if the text is written in a language other than English) must reproduce the exact wording of the source; under their own responsibility, Authors should carefully refrain from disguising a restyling of the source’s wording, as though it was the original formulation.
Any form of excessive, inappropriate or unnecessary self-citation, as well as any other form of citation manipulation, are strongly discouraged.
Ethical Committee
Whenever required, the research protocols must be authorised in advance by the Ethical Committee of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Emendations
When Authors find a mistake or an inaccuracy in their own article, they must immediately warn the magazén Editor-in-Chief, providing all the information needed to make the due adjustments.
Reviewers’ responsibilities
Goal
By means of the peer-review procedure, reviewers assist the magazén Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board in taking decisions on the articles submitted. They are expected to offer the Authors suggestions as to possible adjustments aimed at improving their contribution submission.
Timing and conflicts of interest
If a reviewer does not feel up to the task of doing a given review, or if she/he is unable to read the work within the agreed schedule, she/he should notify the magazén Editor-in-Chief. Reviewers must not accept articles for which there is a conflict of interest due to previous contributions or to a competition with a disclosed author (or with an author they believe to have identified).
Confidentiality
The content of the reviewed work must be considered confidential and must not be used without explicit authorisation by the Author, who is to be contacted via the editor-in-chief. Any confidential information obtained during the peer review process should not be used for other purposes.
Collaborative attitude
Reviewers should see themselves not as adversaries but as advocates for the field. Any comment must be done in a collaborative way and from an objective point of view. Reviewers should clearly motivate their comments and keep in mind the Golden Rule of Reviewing: “Review for others as you would have others review for you”.
Plagiarism
Reviewers should report any similarity or overlapping of the work under analysis with other works known to them.
