Notes for Contributors to Klassisk Forum
Consideration will be given only to original manuscripts which have not previously been published and which are not already being assessed for publication elsewhere
- Manuscripts
The journal requests that initially only an electronic version of the article be submitted to the editorial board for evaluation. The manuscript is expected to be free of typographical error. The editorial board or the external referees may suggest revisions, and articles may be accepted conditionally. After an article has been accepted, the normal procedure is for the revised article to be submitted electronically, together with a PDF. Authors will normally receive only one proof. Articles may be submitted in Microsoft Word for Macintosh or PC.
- Reviews
The editorial board expects reviews to present the aim of the work under review as well as a summary of the work (material, theoretical and methodological approach). Reviewers should always first evaluate the work on its own terms in light of its expressed aim and in light of whether it presents new knowledge.
The editorial board will always strive to find qualified reviewers without close professional or personal ties to the author(s) of the work under review; nor should reviewers have strong conflicts with the author(s), past or present. If it proves impossible to find a reviewer without bindings, the nature of the relationship should be explicitly mentioned in the review. Peer reviewers of submitted work will be chosen on the same principles.
- Language, abstract, summary
Klassisk Forum primarily accepts contributions in Norwegian. Contributions in Swedish or Danish may also be accepted.
- Publishing process
Following peer review, the editorial board decides whether the manuscript is accepted for publication. If accepted, the author will receive the manuscript with comments and suggestions. The author then resubmits a corrected version for publication. The author may store his/her own articles in relevant scientific archives.
