HSCP Editorial Policy

Harvard Studies in Classical Philology welcomes articles dealing with all 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. 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. Contributors receive fifty complimentary offprints of their articles after publication. Copies of HSCP may be obtained through Harvard University Press.

All submissions are welcome and will be carefully considered and refereed. In reviewing submissions to HSCP, the Editorial Committee, made up of faculty members of the Harvard Department of the Classics, draws on expertise both within and outside the Department and the University. The Committee requires that submissions be made anonymously. Texts should be prepared accordingly; for the details and for all matters of style and format contributors should consult the Style Guide and Bibliography Sample. Hard copies of the style guide can be obtained by writing to the Editorial Assistant, Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Department of the Classics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138 or by e-mailing hscp(at)fas.harvard.edu.
