The Journal of Glass Studies is an annual publication of The Corning Museum of Glass. The Journal was conceived in 1959 to meet the need for the recording of those discoveries, interpretations, acquisitions, and publications that affect the understanding of the history of glassmaking and of glass as an artistic medium from its beginnings to the mid-20th century. Peer-reviewed articles of a scholarly nature include archaeological, early scientific-technical, and art-historical accounts.

The Journal of Glass Studies was conceived to meet the need for the recording of those discoveries and interpretations that affect the understanding of the history of glassmaking and of glass as an artistic medium up to the mid-twentieth century. The articles are of a scholarly nature and include archaeological, early scientific-technical, and art-historical accounts. The editors of JGS seek previously unpublished articles of original research on topics related to the history of glass, from its beginnings to the mid-20th century. JGS does not accept articles with a primary focus on living artists or glassmakers.

The Journal of Glass Studies is a peer-reviewed journal. Manuscripts for articles and Notes are normally sent to two reviewers, including but not limited to the editorial and staff advisers of JGS. Reviewers are asked to comment on the suitability of the submission for publication in JGS, the quality and originality of the scholarship, and major omissions or errors. Reviewers may also offer suggestions for improvement of the manuscript, along with a general recommen­dation to accept, revise, or reject. JGS has a double-blind process, in which author and reviewer identities are kept anonymous from each other.

If the reviewers’ comments are unfavorable, the editor will send the author(s) a notice of rejection. If the reviewers’ comments are favorable, the editor will recommend revisions to the author(s) based on reviewer feedback. Revisions may be minor or substantial. Once revisions have been received from the author and the comments from reviewers have been adequately addressed, the editors will make a final deter-mination whether to accept the manuscript for publication.

Once an article or Note has been accepted for publication, the contribution will be assigned to a production volume. The corresponding author will receive and be required to sign a publication agreement which asserts that the work is original and has not been previously published, and that the author, as copyright holder of the article, grants The Corning Museum of Glass permission to publish, reproduce, and distribute the content throughout the world in any print or electronic medium.
