Manuscripts should be prepared following the instructions for authors available on the journal's website and must not have been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed, and acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality.
JOURNAL ARTICLE TEMPLATE

EPJ Plus is a transformative journal offering Open Access (OA) publication via a rapidly growing number of Open Access Agreements. Corresponding authors affiliated to institutions participating in these agreements may be eligible to publish OA, the fee being then covered by the institutional partner. Eligibility can be checked by the corresponding authors here. It may be verified when the corresponding author is requested to complete the relevant affiliation information after acceptance of the paper. Corresponding authors not affiliated to institutes with Open Access Agreements have to decide between paying the current Open Access fee or choosing the subscription option without any publication charges. We are aware that OA publication is a pre-requisite for some contributors, and this requirement could be met through suitable choice of corresponding authors (more than one are possible) and their lead affiliation.
Otherwise please note that, for articles not covered by institutional agreements, the authors can choose to publish OA via payment of an APC, or they can select the conventional (subscription) publication route.
Please consider that you can submit your manuscript as soon as it is ready. Accepted papers will be published without delay and compiled in the Focus Point collection online.
At Step 5 (Additional Information) of the submission form, please reply YES to the question 'Are you submitting this manuscript following an invitation to contribute to a "Focus Point" (topical article collection by invitation of guest editors)?'.
Then, please select "Focus Point on InArt 2026: Innovation in Art Research and Technology. Guest Editors: S. Valadas, P. Vandenabeele, A. Candeias, D. Bersani".
