Classics journals – where and how to submit articles
It is not easy to find one’s way around in journals devoted to antiquity and to know where to find articles on a particular theme, or even where to submit one. In order to simplify searches and allow a quick and easy comparison between journals, a list of Classics journals has been compiled below.
Each journal is accompanied by a presentation and a list of information: focus, website, open access politics, languages of writing, lenght of articles, number of issues per year, publication of articles in Classical reception… This content is based on a list available as an online excel spreadsheet. You can message me or leave a comment with additions/changes.

Chaque revue est accompagnée d’une présentation et d’une liste d’informations : thème, site web, politique de libre accès, langues d’écriture, longueur des articles, nombre de numéros par an, ouverture aux articles de “réception”… Cette liste est basée sur un tableur Excel en ligne.

Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics (Boston University)
“We are not looking for contributions that would obviously be at home in some other journal. Arion seeks to publish articles that capture the interest of readers both inside and outside the profession. If you propose submitting a paper that has been rejected by one of the professional journals, we urge you to rewrite it. The fact that it wasn’t quite dull enough to be accepted there doesn’t mean that it is lively enough for Arion. The literary essay, rather than the usual academic article, is best suited to Arion‘s purpose of integrating learning and imagination. We value most the contributor who speaks across the disciplines: the author who can write on Sophocles, say, in a way that engages the student of Shakespeare.

Frontière•s provides a cross-sectoral framework to archaeologists, historians and art historians, and moreover, a work tool published on a semestrial basis. In the field of Ancient studies, the common understanding of ‘border’ is often restricted to geopolitical limits. However, it is possible to understand ‘border’ in a wider way according to the modes of separation. Though, depending on the way of splitting, it could encompass any meanings: concrete or abstract boundaries, built or natural ones, etc. Authors are invited to consider every kind of separation between individuals, not only geophysical, state or political ones, but also social, cultural, symbolic, linguistic, metaphysical boundaries.”

“The Editorial Committee of Harvard Studies in Classical Philology welcomes all submissions dealing with any aspects of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. In considering submissions for publication in Harvard Studies, we adhere to an inclusive definition of what constitutes philology, and we welcome variety in approaches to the study of the ancient world. The breadth of categories in L’année philologique provides us with a model. In addition to scholarship on language and written texts from the ancient world, HSCP publishes work, for example, on ancient history, philosophy, art history, and the reception of classical culture in late antiquity, the medieval period, and beyond. Illustrations will be accommodated when submissions require them. HSCP accepts for publication articles of extended scope as well as short notes.

“The journal, MD has contributed enormously to the methodological renewal of classical philology studies, reviving and renewing the most effective and respected techniques of the last two centuries, from traditional philology to contemporary hermeneutics. MD first came out in 1978, at the initiative of a team of young Italian Classical scholars. The most signal among them were the Latinists Gian Biagio Conte and Alessandro Barchiesi, and the anthropologist Maurizio Bettini. The Board soon became International, attracting especially what were then avanguard scholars engaged in bringing poststructuralist literary criticism to the study of Classical texts. Today MD typically includes studies of literary criticism alongside shorter notes and studies of the textual transmission of the Classics. Each issue numbers between 200 and 220 pages, and the total number of pages so far has reached 15,000 pages.”

Thersites
“Thersites is an international open access journal for innovative transdisciplinary classical studies edited by Annemarie Ambühl, Filippo Carlà-Uhink, Christian Rollinger and Christine Walde. Thersites expands classical reception studies by publishing original scholarship free of charge and by reflecting on Greco-Roman antiquity as present phenomenon and diachronic culture that is part of today’s transcultural and highly diverse world. Antiquity, in our understanding, does not merely belong to the past, but is always experienced and engaged in the present. Thersites contributes to the critical review on methods, theories, approaches and subjects in classical scholarship, which currently seems to be awkwardly divided between traditional perspectives and cultural turns. Thersites brings together scholars, writers, essayists, artists and all kinds of agents in the culture industry to get a better understanding of how antiquity constitutes a part of today’s culture and (trans-)forms our present.”

Topoi Orient-Occident (Société des Amis de la Bibliothèque Salomon-Reinach)
“Topoi Orient-Occident est une revue d’histoire ancienne et d’archéologie dont le premier numéro est paru en 1991. Elle publie des comptes rendus critiques, des chroniques d’actualité, des synthèses et des débats. La Méditerranée orientale, le Proche-Orient dans l’Antiquité, de l’archaïsme à l’époque tardo-romaine forment le cadre général des intérêts de la revue, avec quelques axes privilégiés : Orient hellénisé, économie, temples et sanctuaires, animaux et botanique, pratiques administratives… Une de ses originalités est de faire une grande place à des comptes rendus souvent très détaillés ; ils prennent parfois la forme de chroniques bibliographiques sur une thématique privilégiée de la recherche actuelle. Par ailleurs, Topoi édite des dossiers thématiques qui peuvent former tout ou partie d’un fascicule et des suppléments organisés autour de thèmes précis et qui permettent de faire paraître rapidement une journée d’étude, un colloque.”

Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte: Romanistische Abteilung (De Gruyter)
“The Zeitschrift für Rechtsgeschichte (ZRG, also known as the Savigny Journal) represents an integral part of European legal history research, having made a significant contribution to the current state of the discipline. Each section publishes a new volume per year which includes an article and a literature section, each complemented by a Chronik and Mitteilungen section. The Romanistic area of research traditionally represents a key piece of legal history. The contributions deal with the various jurisdictions of the ancient Mediterranean – especially the Sumerian, Greek and Roman jurisdictions – their historical impact on Europe and Asia Minor as well as the reception and discussion of modern legal systems around the world. Analytical contributions apply to single legal entities. Comparative analyses trace developments. Current reports provide the newest results of excavations and library findings. The section “Dokumente” summarises source editions and translations. The main topics of the current global Romanistic research, new publications, and translations are reflected in the literature section in the form of detailed criticism. Obituaries, chronicle and notification sections are respected expert forums. We have presented the Romanistische Abteilung with a current source index at the end of each volume since 1997.
