Introduction BSAA arte is a scientific journal that has been published annually by the Department of Art History of the University of Valladolid since 2005, when it took over for the former Boletín del Seminario de Estudios de Arte y Arqueología (ISSN: 0210-9573), founded in 1932 and regularly cited using its acronym, BSAA. When in 2005 this journal was split into two separate publications devoted, respectively, to Art History and Archaeology, the one corresponding to Art History took on its current name, BSAA arte (ISSN: 1888-9751 in its printed version until 2016, which was its standard edition, and 2530-6359 in its electronic version, which is its current standard edition). The main purpose of BSAA arte is to transmit to the specialised scientific community and to Art History professionals the results of studies on different forms of art, with a primary interest in Spanish art and works from other related countries, although there is also room in the journal for other international contributions. The digital edition of BSAA arte will maintain the editorial policy that has made this journal an established and scientifically recognised publication, despite the need to continuously adapt to new forms of knowledge dissemination. Since the 2017 edition, volume LXXXIII, a new chapter began in its publication and dissemination with the adoption of the open access digital format through Open Journal Systems (OJS). The publication is hosted in https://revistas.uva.es, which is managed by Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid. Institutional affiliation This journal is owned by the University of Valladolid (Spain), which provides its digital hosting and is responsible for its maintenance and management through Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid (EdUVa) and the Servicio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones de la Universidad de Valladolid (STIC). The University of Valladolid guarantees open access to the contents of the journal. The works published in the journal will be included in the Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Valladolid, guaranteeing their long-term preservation.
