Author Guidelines
GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION TO STUDIA HISTORICA. HISTORIA ANTIGUA
1. STUDIA HISTORICA. HISTORIA ANTIGUA is an annual Journal in which the articles received will be evaluated by external reviewers using the blind peer review system. The Editorial Board, respectful of the intellectual freedom of the authors, will not modify the opinions expressed by them, although it might not endorse them.
2. The Editorial Board of STVDIA HISTORICA. HISTORIA ANTIGUA will consider the publication of original works as long as (1) they have not been previously published in any of its versions or proposed for publication in another Journal, (2) guarantee a high-quality level and (3) deal with aspects relating to the chronological period within the scope of Ancient History. That includes papers focused on a novel subject, a different and more in-depth treatment of a problem already identified in historiography, the contribution of unknown data concerning a given historiographical question, and/or or the potential applications of a new or more refined methodology.
3. The anonymised manuscript and the document containing personal data (see section 4 below) in Microsoft Word (.doc / .docx) or OpenOffice (.odt) electronic format will be uploaded to https://revistas.usal.es/uno/index.php/0213-2052/about/submissions and simultaneously sent by e-mail to the journal's address: shha@usal.es. The submission of manuscripts will be open throughout the year, although each year's issue will be closed at the Editorial Board meeting in May.
4. Papers should be no longer than 70,000 characters (whith spaces), including notes, image captions and bibliographic references. Authors will be responsible for anonymising originals and each text shall be accompanied by a separate document containing the title of the paper, name(s) of the author(s), professional category, professional affiliation, full postal address, telephone, e-mail and ORCID.
5. All articles will include (after title and author(s) data) an abstract (maximum 1000 characters) written in the paper's original language, in Spanish and in English. The title and the content descriptors (keywords) must be written in the same languages for indexing purposes.
6. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively in Arabic characters and should appear above the text, preceding the diacritical mark if there is one. Footnotes should preferably be inserted at the end of the sentence. All footnotes should be included at the bottom of the page. Authors will avoid an excessive number of textual quotations. If these quotations exceed two lines, they should be indented without using inverted commas. In addition, the author's insertions within textual quotations should be enclosed in square brackets to distinguish them from the quoted text clearly.
7. The bibliographical references should follow the Chicago shortened notes style: Last name, short title, page number (without p. or. pp.); n. for foot note, no. for number, col. for column. Griese, Die Nutzung, 198-204; Marcone, “L’evoluzione”, 279-84; Gómez-Pantoja, “Pastio agrestis”, 181-3.
8. All papers will include a final list including all of the bibliographic references used according to The Chicago Manual of Style. Each entry must refer to the full name of the author, and must not be abbreviated by the use of hyphens.
