Digital Journal of Advanced Appraisal Practice

A few weeks ago I announced a new relationship with the International Society of Appraisers Private Client Services with the re-introduction of the new Digital Journal of Advanced Appraisal Practice (previously the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies). In that announcement I had hoped to have the first edition this fall followed by a second edition in the Spring of 2019.

In my excitement, I became too aggressive with the time frame for the first publication. Given numerous factors including some potential authors needing additional time, and my personal schedule (my son is getting married on Oct 13th) I think it is best to allow more time and to pass on the fall publication date and focus on the Spring of 2019, end of March early April.

The ISA Private Client Services will host the new Digital Journal of Advanced Appraisal Practice on its website, and initially, the journal will be available to download and or view without charge. In doing so, we will avoid the past problems of getting the journal and its appraisal and valuation related articles in front of fellow appraisers, allied professionals and users of appraisers, such as private, bankers, attorneys, estate planners,art advisors, insurance professionals, conservators, financial planners, wealth mangers, the IRS, museums, family offices, auction specialists, etc.

With this new online digital delivery, we can now envision the Digital Journal of Advanced Appraisal Practice reaching thousands of appraisers and allied professionals rather than the few hundred from limited edition print publications. This will increase the credibility and standing of the journal and its contributors. This publication will now have reach and will be actively promoted to various fine and decorative art groups, users of appraisals and allied professionals.

If you are interested in contributing an article to the new journal, please let me know and send along a topic. As in the past journal, we are looking for substantial articles, with a minimum of 3,000 words.

Articles should be geared toward higher and more complex appraisal theory, methodology, and connoisseurship. We are no longer looking for general or introductory articles as we wish to promote appraising at the middle to upper end of the market and more complex assignment methodologies.

I am excited about the potential of the new journal, its potential reach and I look forward to an amazing new appraisal journal next spring to promote our profession and qualified appraisers.
