The Artl@s Bulletin is a blind peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary journal devoted to spatial and transnational questions in the history of the arts, published by Artl@s in partnership with Purdue Scholarly Publishing Services.
The Artl@s Bulletin ’s ambition is twofold: 1. a focus on the “transnational” as constituted by exchange between the local and the global or between the national and the international; 2. an openness to innovation in research methods, particularly the quantitative possibilities offered by digital mapping and data visualization.
See the About the Journal page for a complete coverage of the journal.
