A new-look Journal of Hellenic Studies sets its sights on publishing improvements
The Journal of Hellenic Studies is making some key improvements which will better support authors and readers.
Most importantly, from 17 August 2022, contributions to the journal should be submitted using the new online submission system on the Cambridge Core website. Invitations to review books will also be sent out and managed using this new system.
From the 2022 issue, the journal will appear in an updated format which will enable authors to present key information including ORCID IDs, funding and data sources, permissions and acknowledgements in more standard ways. This will facilitate the capture and indexing of JHS articles and authors by global bibliographic search tools such as SCOPUS and Web of Science.
The print version in the new format will have slightly more content and page space, but its physical size will be a little smaller than the previous format. As always, the print version of JHS will appear in black-and-white. However, the online version will be in colour.
Henceforth, all book reviews will be published online only. Research articles and review articles will be published both online and in the printed journal. There is also an option to publish online-only supplementary material to accompany research articles. Our additional online page allowance will enable us to publish in each issue more of the extremely high-quality papers that the journal accepts. So, the time taken for accepted papers to appear in print should diminish.
JHS continues to welcome new submissions, including specialist studies. Authors should demonstrate that their paper can speak to a wide sector of the broad field of Hellenic studies.
We hope you enjoy the new-look JHS when it appears later this year!
