Information transmise par A. Gonzales:
Revue Histos
The Classics Departments at Florida State University (US) and Newcastle University (UK) announce the revival of Histos, the ancient historiography Internet journal run from Durham University (UK) between 1996 and 2000.
Our brief remains the same: rapid publication of high-quality articles and notes on all aspects of ancient historiography and biography (including the Gospels and later Christian material) and of in-depth reviews of recent publications in the field. It is not our intention to publish material which is per se historical, unless it illuminates the qualities of ancient historians or biographers (this will be a matter of balance and judgment). All submissions will be anonymously refereed by experts. We aim for a turn-around time of a maximum of three months. We will publish in English, French, German and Italian.
New contributions will be posted at the website as soon as they have been accepted and will then be collated into volumes. In order to maintain continuity, we will resume publication at volume 5 for the year 2011. The earlier material (volumes 1-4), currently located at the Durham website, will be moved to the new site, and will be re-published in PDF form.
Histos will be available both online, in a full open-access version (in PDF form), and in a printed version. All the papers accepted for publication will appear in both formats. Readers’ responses are welcomed. Online versions will be open to named readers’ comments and may themselves generate further articles and notes.
Information about our web site will be available shortly. In the meantime, enquiries may be made to the Editors (jmarinco@fsu.edu; j.l.moles@ncl.ac.uk).
Submissions may already be made to histos@ncl.ac.uk. For conventions to be observed in submissions, please see the end of this message.
