《保護研究》是國際上首屈一指的歷史和藝術作品保護同行評議期刊。預期讀者包括保護在最廣泛意義上的專業術語：執業保護所有類型的對象，保護、遺產和博物館科學家、集合或保護管理者，教師和學生的保護，和學術研究主題領域的藝術、考古、建筑遺產，材料的歷史,藝術技術研究和物質文化。保護研究出版了一系列主題的原作，包括但不限于藝術作品的檢查方法、藝術材料分析的新研究、退化機制、保護實踐的進展、新的治療方法、展示和儲存中的保護問題、預防性保護。關于收藏保育、保護歷史與倫理、材料與工藝史等問題。科學內容是不必要的，編輯們鼓勵提交實用文章、評論文章、關于最佳實踐的立場文章以及收集和保存的哲學和倫理學，以幫助保持期刊的傳統平衡。無論主題是什么，都不接受常規程序的賬目，除非這些賬目會產生足夠新穎和/或重要的結果，從而引起普遍關注。文章沒有最小或最大長度。然而，簡明扼要的貢獻是受歡迎的，而超過10000字的論文作者可能會被要求刪節他們的手稿。IIC在保護方面的評論在2011年被納入了保護方面的研究，因此更長的評論文章現在屬于期刊的范圍，并受到鼓勵。有關手稿準備和提交程序的詳細信息，請參閱右側菜單中的“作者說明”鏈接。

Studies in Conservation is the premier international peer-reviewed journal for the conservation of historic and artistic works. The intended readership includes the conservation professional in the broadest sense of the term: practising conservators of all types of object, conservation, heritage and museum scientists, collection or conservation managers, teachers and students of conservation, and academic researchers in the subject areas of arts, archaeology, the built heritage, materials history, art technological research and material culture.Studies in Conservation publishes original work on a range of subjects including, but not limited to, examination methods for works of art, new research in the analysis of artistic materials, mechanisms of deterioration, advances in conservation practice, novel methods of treatment, conservation issues in display and storage, preventive conservation, issues of collection care, conservation history and ethics, and the history of materials and technological processes. Scientific content is not necessary, and the editors encourage the submission of practical articles, review papers, position papers on best practice and the philosophy and ethics of collecting and preservation, to help maintain the traditional balance of the journal. Whatever the subject matter, accounts of routine procedures are not accepted, except where these lead to results that are sufficiently novel and/or significant to be of general interest.There is no minimum or maximum length for an article. However, succinct contributions are welcome, while authors of papers longer than 10,000 words may be asked to abridge their manuscripts. IIC’s Reviews in Conservation was incorporated into Studies in Conservation in 2011, so longer review articles now fall within the scope of the journal and are encouraged.
