Science and Technology of the Arts Collection
Open-Access Books Collection published by UCP Press aims to publish manuscripts that form the academic, artistic and practice-based research outputs of the Center. In these volumes, we explore the strategic research lines from our two focus-areas: Cinema & Visual Arts and Sound & New Media Art. Therefore, the collection will focus on the contemporary artistic creation in a multitude of different media, trying to make sense of what artists and artworks are doing in our world. First volume published: "Revolution & Cinema". [+info]

SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS

CITAR regularly publishes two scientific journals.

Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts
JSTA is a peer-reviewed journal that results from CITAR's commitment to promoting knowledge, research and works of art in the field of the Arts. The journal is published under an open access policy and has no submission or article processing costs. It is indexed by Scopus. Last published dossiers: On Criticism: “Is there a place (still) for criticism?” (Guest Editors: Luiz Camillo Osorio, Nuno Crespo and Sabeth Buchmann); Critical Approaches Towards (A New) Arts Education (Guest editors: Catarina S. Martins and Pedro Alves); Audible (Art): The Invisible Connections Between Sound, Music, and Sound Art (Guest editors: José Alberto Gomes, Miguel Carvalhais, and Henrique Portovedo). [+info]

Journal of Studies in Conservation and Restoration
The peer-reviewed ecr journal aims to disseminate the scientific work that has been carried out in the field of conservation and restoration of cultural goods. The ecr journal is in the process of being redefined and a new journal is expected to be created in 2025. [+info]

CITAR also published Revista de Artes Decorativas until 2015.


Artistic Research Colletion

Parallel with the School of Arts' exhibition program, an program of editions was developed where it is intended to explore, from each of the exhibition proposals, artistic creation as a relevant research and knowledge practice.

This collection, coordinated by Nuno Crespo, publishes books around contemporary artists and filmmakers and their artistic processes. Most of the books published in this collection follow the artistic residences or exhibitions that took place in the context of artistic research at CITAR and School of Arts.
 
These editions, always in bilingual Portuguese / English format, are also a way to concretize, from a critical and procedural stand-point, the practice of scientific investigation associated with the exhibition program. In this sense, an edition and distribution partnership was reached with Documenta | Sistema Solar.

Diogo Evangelista: Blind Faith was the inaugural publication of this series of editions, in December 2020.
