About the Initiative | Ikonen Mautner Research
Mission
IKONEN MAUTNER — RESEARCH HUB brings together bibliographic references and permission-based open-access scholarship on Orthodox icon art. The initiative supports study and exchange across art history, iconography, provenance research and conservation.
Academic scope
The scope includes Orthodox iconography, Byzantine and post-Byzantine art, collecting histories, provenance, conservation and the material study of icons. Journal articles, theses, dissertations, conference papers, research papers and book chapters may be considered.
Editorial policy
The Research Hub is not a peer-reviewed academic journal. Editorial inclusion is not peer review, an academic qualification or endorsement of an author’s conclusions. Bibliographic information and rights are checked before publication. Peer-review status refers only to the original publication and is recorded only when verified.
Open-access principles
The bibliography may link to external sources with their own access conditions. Where permission allows, full-text PDFs are provided without payment or registration. Open access does not automatically grant permission to reuse a work; the stated license applies.
Copyright and licensing
Authors retain their copyright. Hosted full text requires appropriate publication permission, including consideration of publisher agreements, third-party illustrations and personal data. Rights holders may contact the gallery through the existing contact page to request a correction or removal.
Submission guidelines
Provide accurate bibliographic metadata, an abstract and keywords. An original publication link or PDF is optional. Do not upload material you are not entitled to share. Submissions and files remain private during review. Approval creates an unpublished editorial draft; a separate rights check and publication decision are required. Submission does not guarantee inclusion. Personal contact information is used for editorial review, not shown in public publication records.
Operator and access
The Ikonen Mautner Research Hub is operated by Ikonen Mautner, Vienna, Austria, and is also accessible through the domain orthodoxiconresearch.com.
