transfer is a scientific publication organ for contributions to provenance research and collection history as well as to related research areas such as art market research, reception history, cultural sociology or legal history. The semi-annual publication of the contributions takes place digitally in the Diamond Open Access. The quality of comprehensive articles and research reports in German and English is ensured by a double-blind peer review procedure. In addition, all texts undergo an internal review by the editors and receive a professional review before their publication. The journal is institutionally linked to the Research Centre for Provence Research, Art and Cultural Property Protection Law of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn as well as the Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig and is financially supported by the German Research Foundation. Project partner and web host is the Heidelberg University Library via arthistoricum.net.
