The International Journal of Museum Studies. 1. 2021

"The International Journal of Museum Studies", an international journal of studies, is born in Italy in 2020, in a moment of great theoretical vitality of Italian museology, but also of identity crisis of world museology. The birth of an Italian national museum system and the process of accreditation of museums in progress impose, beyond short-term choices, a total revision of the models of museum management sustainability, but also a rethinking of their mission and their relationship with the public in a society in constant, unstoppable change. The journal presents itself as a showcase of the theoretical debate in Italy in a constant comparison with the international museological reality and as an observatory of the most stimulating best practices to allow a wide-ranging debate that takes into account the local and national specificities and its interfacing with the different international realities. The journal is therefore proposed to the attention of scholars in all fields of museological research, from collections, to the public, to management and communication problems, to educational programs. It publishes annually monographic issues on topics chosen by the Management and the Scientific Committee, whose texts, selected through a "Call for papers", procedure are all - except rare and justified exceptions - subjected to double blind peer review. In the case of the aforementioned exceptions, the Directorate, in its collegiality, which, after careful examination, assumes responsibility for the acceptance of the texts.
