Analog Game Studies is committed to publishing original work on the topic of analog games. We take an author-centered approach and embrace a model of review and publishing that allows our authors to retain creative control of their work within our peer-reviewed publishing system.

Concurrent Submissions

Because we believe in the importance of original work, we do not republish materials at Analog Game Studies and thus do not allow concurrent submissions. Once an essay is published, it will be licensed under a simple Creative Commons attribution (CC BY) clause which allows the author future autonomy to publish their essay as they see fit.

Due to the above principle, the editorial board retains the right to deny publication to any essay which recycles a significant amount of text from the author’s prior work. Submissions to Analog Game Studies should be original and so we request that our authors rewrite any portion of their essay that repurposes ideas from their prior work.

Plagiarism

Analog Game Studies has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. Essays which plagiarize other works will not be published.

Generative AI

Analog Game Studies will not publish articles, figures, artwork, or other materials that are generated by artificial intelligence. The use of generative artificial intelligence for accessibility reasons (e.g. assistance in translation into English) will be reasonably accommodated and double-checked by authors/editors. Submissions that include portions that have been generated or manipulated by artificial intelligence must be flagged with a content note and rationale within the article itself and will be considered by the editorial board.

Retractions

Analog Game Studies adheres to the ethical principles provided by the Committee on Publication and Ethics (COPE) when retractions are necessary. We will provide a statement on any page where we have retracted an essay as a historical reminder to the community of what once was there.
