AQSG Uncoverings workshop

When: Sunday, June 12, 2022
Time: 4pm ET, 3pm CT, 2pm MT, 1pm PT

Do you have an idea for a research project but wonder how AQSG’s paper publication process works? Join us for a Zoom discussion of how you can submit a paper for Uncoverings, the annual research journal published by AQSG. Each volume typically includes four to six full-length research papers, which are published before the annual seminar. Authors present a shortened form of their paper at the seminar.

Meet Joanna Evans, editor of Uncoverings; Dale Drake, chair of the Paper Selection Committee; and members of the Publications Committee. Past authors will discuss their experiences writing for Uncoverings. We will answer your questions about the process and, as time permits, discuss the project you are working on, give some tips, and review guidelines and deadlines for submission. For more information, contact Joanna Evans (evans.joanna@gmail.com) or Dale Drake (ddrake@ccrtc.com).

Blanket Statements Policies
Blanket Statements Policies
  • Priority is given to material written by AQSG members.
  • Cover story is quilt research.
  • Quilt world news includes coverage of historically significant shows, organizations, conferences, quilt makers, researchers, and publications.
  • News of Members: two to three sentences covering shows, book releases, research updates; no advertising of members' commercial enterprises; significant achievements may warrant a separate article or interview.
  • Feature articles may include "Research Notes" (i.e., advice or reports on methodology, research challenges, or resources); regional events of national import; individual profiles of key quilt study people; examination of trends; focus pieces on related movements or events (art quilts; costume; women's history, etc.); AQSG organizational coverage ("Focus on AQSG")
  • Contributions and donations are listed under Unrestricted, Memorial, and Restricted (Scholarship, Publications, etc.) headings.
    No book reviews at this time, however, some articles on members' publications are possible (e.g., Roland Freeman in Spring, 1997 Issue).
  • Controversial Issues: AQSG will not serve as an advocate for a particular position on controversial quilt-related issues, but will present both sides of a debate.
  • No paid advertising.
  • AQSG does not have the resources to pay for permissions to reprint photos, but requests for complimentary permissions have almost always been granted.
  • Copyright: at this time Blanket Statements does not have an ISSN number and is not copyrighted, but we print the following reprint policy: "Authored articles may be excerpted only. Proper citation must be given to the author and American Quilt Study Group. Articles may not be reprinted in their entirety. General news items may be reprinted in their entirety without written permission from or citation of American Quilt Study Group."

Seminar Panel

Panel presentations at Seminar showcase quilt-related research by individuals or groups. For many academic disciplines, panel sessions are the "norm" for disseminating research findings. Time and space permitting, up to six 30-minute sessions (20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for Q & A) will be scheduled.  


SEMINAR POSTER PRESENTATION

Poster presentations at Seminar are focused displays of a research question, literature review, research methods, and results. For many academic disciplines, poster sessions are an important conference component. The AQSG Seminar poster session hosts multiple presentations simultaneously and encourages conversation between presenter and audience in a relaxed, salon format. 





Mentoring

The goal of the AQSG Mentoring Committee is to provide support and encouragement to members with a relevant research topic, and who are interested in reporting the results of their research. Mentoring is available at any stage of the research and writing process. AQSG members who want to present a poster or panel, write for Blanket Statements, or want to present live at a Seminar with a paper in Uncoverings are encouraged to contact the Publications Committee.
