About

Focus and Scope

Body, Space & Technology (BST) is a leading journal of contemporary artistic practice and research and  joined the OLH platform in Summer 2017. Since it launched in 2000, BST has built a strong reputation for scholarly quality and innovation, as well as fostering a global academic community around its published content. BST publishes research into artistic practice that engages with digital technologies, particularly as these relate to bodily interaction and creativity, and in multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal is led by an Editorial Board of international experts.

At BST we are responsive to new artistic developments guided by artists’ own reflections on events and the directions they choose to take. The journal welcomes international readership and contributions from artists and academics from all over the world. We remain committed to being an open access publication and support innovation and experimentation in the Arts, in whatever form it takes or processes from which it arises. We invite readers to be stimulated by the journal and hope it encourages submissions that will surprise and perhaps even lead to unexpected instances of research and creativity. 


Publication Frequency

The journal is published in 1–2 issues annually


Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Authors of published articles remain the copyright holders and grant third parties the right to use, reproduce, and share the article according to a Creative Commons license agreement. 

One of the benefits of open access publishing lies in others being able to re-use material. We believe that the greatest societal good is possible when people are free to re-distribute scholarship and to create derivative works. This is why we use the CC BY 4.0 license, under which others may re-use your work, on condition that they cite you.  

If a more restrictive licence is required (for example, if you are reproducing third party material that cannot be reproduced under more open licences), please make this request upon submission in the ‘Comment to the Editor’ field or email your editor directly, stating the reasons why.
