Animation Studies is the Society for Animation Studies’ peer-reviewed online journal. It publishes the society’s conference proceedings and is open to submissions from SAS members.
Submissions are accepted on a continuous basis. The journal’s main language is English, but submissions in other languages are also accepted and published with an English abstract. Articles are published at irregular intervals. There is one volume per year, which is cumulative. All articles are licensed under a Creative Commons license and are available for download free of charge.
The latest complete volume is available for download as PDF here. You need the free Adobe Arcobat Reader in order to view the file. If you prefer to see the text in HTML or are looking for previously published articles, please use the navigation sidebar to jump to the respective sections.

Submission Guidelines
Society for Animation Studies members are invited to submit conference papers from conferences they participated in, especially SAS conferences past and present. Where calls for papers for upcoming conferences have been issued, members can submit full papers if institutional funding requires it.
All papers are subject to peer review and presentation; acceptance of a paper at a conference is not a guarantee of publication. If a paper is accepted for a conference but not presented it can still be considered, subject to agreement by the editorial board.
Papers will be blind refereed where possible and comments collated and returned to the author by the editor.
The journal editions run on an annual basis with papers accepted throughout the year but the volume closed on calendar year end. In order to simplify the refereeing and submission, papers will be accepted at deadlines throughout the year. We invite authors to submit papers in March, August and October.
We strongly encourage the submission of past papers in order to establish a useful archive of work which members can access. We also encourage the submission of links to other publications or bibliographic citations where conference papers have been published elsewhere.
Papers are not limited to word length, though it is expected that the paper will not exceed that of the presentation, or a reasonable approximation of it. Authors may edit their conference presentations, but the text must provide a reasonable representation of the material presented at the conference.
Images are welcomed but authors must seek permissions to reproduce them in the journal. Rights owners must be identified in the caption, in the manner specified by the rights owner in a release form signed by that individual. Articles are published under Creative Commons regulations, which allows the author to retain copyright but allows free distribution of the work for educational purposes. Creative Commons is in line with progressive online publishing practices.
The Harvard Referencing system will be used. All papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word document files (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Please submit images in low resolution, web-ready formats.
Email your essay, including a cover page stating your name, your institutional affiliation (now and at the time of the paper presentation), the name of the paper, the SAS conference at which it was published, the date of presentation (or conference dates), four to seven keywords pertaining to the article, and any significant information related to the editing of the paper. Please provide contact information suitable for publication with the paper.
