Journal Overview:
The Journal of Contemporary Art Criticism (JCAC) is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to exploring the intersection of contemporary art, sports culture, and social transformation. We aim to foster cross-disciplinary research and dialogue that bridges artistic practices, sports, and their connection to political, technological, and ecological concerns. The journal particularly welcomes studies that challenge conventional frameworks and encourage diverse perspectives, providing a platform for underrepresented voices.

Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025): Open access continuous publication

Our journal uses an Open Access Continuous Publication (CP) model, meaning articles are published online as soon as they are ready, each with a DOI and fully citable. This approach allows faster publication without waiting for a full issue, removes page limits so the journal can grow quickly, and lets special collections stay open with new articles added anytime. Articles are also sent to indexing services like PubMed Central quickly—usually within a week. Additionally, each article can be promoted individually on social media as soon as it’s published, helping increase visibility and reach.
