Arethusa

Hopkins Press does not require potential contributors to pay an article submission fee in order to be considered for publication in any of the Journals that we publish. Any other website that purports to be affiliated with a Hopkins Press Journal and that requires you to pay an article submission fee is fraudulent. Do not provide payment information. Instead, we ask that you contact William Breichner, Hopkins Press Journals Publisher: wbreich1@jh.edu.

1. All papers should be double-spaced and set in 12 point type.
2. We prefer to have your notes as endnotes, double -spaced in 12 point type, though this is not essential. They will appear as footnotes in print, but it is easier for us to copy-edit this way. Do NOT send notes as a separate file.
3. When first submitting an article, do so anonymously, that is, make sure the article does not include your name or university affiliation, and if necessary, alter footnotes so that you don't reveal your identity. (If your article is accepted, the final version should include this information).
4. Please supply an abstract of 100 or fewer words with your paper.
5. Arethusa uses a social sciences format for notes and bibliography. We prefer that short citations be added in parentheses to the body of your text; only longer remarks should appear as footnotes. Be as concise as possible. Use the bibliography and notes from a recent issue of Arethusa as a guide when you prepare your copy.
6. Please include translations of all Latin and Greek quotations.
7. Please be consistent in the transliteration of Greek names.
8. Please make it clear in the notes which edition of a text you are using.
9. If you are using illustrations or other copyrighted material (including modern poems and songs), please be sure to obtain any necessary permissions and include copies of the permission letters with your revised final version.
10. Please submit the article electronically, preferably in Word. You may submit it by email to Roger D. Woodard rwoodard@buffalo.edu. Please include who is to be credited for any translations used in your article. If the translations are your own, you may indicate that in your first footnote.
11. Arethusa operates within strict page limitations, so brevity is a virtue as far as we are concerned. Articles of more than 25 pages present us with logistical problems, making us less inclined to accept them.

Peer Review Policy

Arethusa publishes original interdisciplinary work related to Classical Studies. We do not accept papers simultaneously submitted to other journals, translations of previously published papers, or reprints.

When a submission arrives, the editor reviews it and eliminates obviously unsuitable submissions (e.g., off topic, illiterate, unsuited to the mission of the journal, clearly lacking in grasp of the subject matter and/or scholarship). A member of the editorial board then recommends whether or not it is suitable to send out to external reviewers. If the recommendation is positive, the editor sends it out to two external reviewers; the review process is double-blind. We ask reviewers to consider originality, clarity, and quality of scholarship; recommend whether MS should be published (with or without revisions), revised and resubmitted, or rejected; suggest clarifications that would enable the author to clarify his or her argument; suggest supplemental bibliography.

If reports are positive, the editor accepts, requests submission of final copy, and evaluates the final version of the MS. We usually do not ask authors to revise and resubmit. If we feel confident the author can do so successfully, we ask the author to revise based on the readers’ reports. We send the revised article to a third reader. Editor makes the final call. We used to ask referees to return reports within 2 months, but now suggest 4 weeks to try to shorten the review process. Unfortunately, it often takes several months for the reports to come in. Decisions are made very quickly once we have both reports. Time to publication once articles are submitted varies depending on whether we have one or more theme volumes in the production queue. We normally publish within three to six months of receipt of final copy.
