Author Guidelines

---

THE GLEANER accepts submissions in Greek, English, French, German and Italian. The following guidelines are valid for all five languages in which the journal publishes.
The submission process at a glance
All articles that fall within the scope of the journal are considered on condition that they are original and that they have not been submitted to another journal. The Editor will consider articles that reflect a mature stage of research, and which are carefully presented in terms of writing. Articles are accepted for publication solely on the basis of merit according to the results of review by the members of the Editorial Committee. Revised articles are first published in print and subsequently in electronic format in the journal’s webpage as soon as the editing and layout process is complete and on condition that they are accompanied by all necessary documentation (i.e. any images and the permission(s) for their reproduction). The revised form of an article should take into consideration the changes requested by the members of the Editorial Committee and should comply with the formatting standards set by the journal as described below. Articles are published electronically in pdf format. By submitting an article for publication to THE GLEANER the author assumes responsibility for adhering to intellectual property rights law, assures that no violation is caused to the intellectual property rights of third parties, and accepts unobtrusively the copyright policies of THE GLEANER. The journal offers individual reprints to the writers of the articles.

Book presentations
The Editorial Committee selects the books that fall within the scope of the journal to be presented in the relevant section of the journal.

Initial submission
Manuscripts of no more than 25.000 words should be submitted in print and in Microsoft Word format (images, tables, references included in one file). Longer articles will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. Submissions should include an abstract of no more than 150 words in either English or French. The Editor reserves the right to reject a manuscript before the review process begins. Manuscripts are sent to the members of the Editorial Committee, who are asked to submit their reviews within one month. Upon receipt of the reviews, authors are informed in writing of the Editor’s decision to accept, reject or request changes to the article.

Revised submission
Upon notification that an article is accepted for publication the author is asked to submit the final version within two months. The revised version should take into consideration the changes requested by the members of the Editorial Committee. No major changes to the text are permitted after the final submission. The revised submission should conform to the journal guidelines (“Final Submission files”) and should follow the style specifications described below (“Style”). Artwork and copies of all relevant permissions should be submitted to the journal at this time. Revised versions of articles will be forwarded for the final stages of publication (i.e. editing, layout, printing) only upon receipt of all necessary documentation and permissions (i.e. images, plans, permissions to reproduce images), and on condition that the revised article conforms to the journal’s guidelines.
