Author Guidelines
Article publishing guidelines for Mos Historicus: A Critical Review of European History:
The submitted articles are evaluated by the Editorial Board (EB), which decides the final line-up of the articles within a period of about three months. The non-acceptance of an article does not necessarily imply a negative evaluation of it; the EB may consider that the article does not fall under the topic of each issue or the general characteristics of the journal.
Each submitted article must be the original work of the author that has not been published previously, as a whole or in part, either in print or electronically, or is soon to be published in another scientific journal. The author must consent that the text will not be reproduced, in whole or in part, without consulting Mos Historicus.
The EB may request alterations or corrections to the content and/or the style of the texts which have been accepted. Mos Historicus reserves the right to edit the texts before their publication.
The final version of the articles can be submitted either under the Submissions option on this website or via email to MosHistoricus@arch.uoa.gr. The articles must be in the form of Microsoft word doc.
Please use Times New Roman font, 12 point and 1.5 line spacing.
The target length of the articles submitted to Mos Historicus should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words; including references and excluding bibliography and appendixes. The book reviews, that are not limited to one work, should not exceed 2,500 words.
Each article must be followed by an abstract of 100-130 words in Greek and in English (in case the author is not able to provide the abstract translation in English or in Greek, Mos Historicus will assume the responsibility of its translation). Six (6) keywords will be included at the end of the abstract.
Certain biographical information will be displayed under the authors’ name such as: area of specialisation, research interests, institution (university/research centre), recent publications related to the submitted article, e-mail address. In case the authors do not wish their e-mail address to be published, they must notify Mos Historicus.
The references and notes must be in the style of footnotes. The number indicating a footnote should be placed after the punctuation mark if the text requires so.
For references, the following examples should be followed closely, both in terms of the order of information and punctuation, as well as in terms of the characterization of the typographical elements in standing and italics. For a paper to be accepted, the references must be in this form:
