All submissions to The Classical Journal are blind-refereed; the refereeing process generally takes four to six months from the date of initial submission. Turn-around time from submission of final copy to publication is generally six to nine months, but may vary due to the need to put together four quarterly issues, each of an appropriate length and with an appropriate balance of material.
Electronic submission is preferred, although hard copy may sometimes be requested afterward (especially when difficulties arise with Greek fonts). Authors should remove all references within the text that might identify them to referees; this is the author’s responsibility rather than the editor’s. Failure to remove such references may compromise the refereeing process, and require that the piece be re-refereed (or simply rejected). Please be aware that word-processing programs sometimes embed identifiers (often under File: Properties, or as headers or footers) that cannot be seen on all computers. Any references removed for submission may be reinserted in final copy.
Final copy of articles and book reviews accepted for publication must be formatted to CJ standards.
