About the Journal


Focus and Scope

The journal receives unpublished texts (studies and book reviews) on the comparison of Greek literature with foreign literatures and the arts, in Greek, English or French, but will also accept texts written in other languages on a case by case basis. 

Peer Review Process

Submissions are reviewed by an editorial committee to ensure they are of a publishable standard and then sent to be read anonymously by external specialists,

If the text is approved by the critic(s) with conditions, the author will be contacted and sent the suggested changes. This is a blind review process and critics are referred to as "critic A" and "critic B".

Once the author agrees to and implements the suggested changes, the text must then be approved by the editorial committee in this final form and is then forwarded to be published. The process detailed above should not take longer than two months.

Publication Frequency

The journal is published annually at the beginning of each year.

Open Access Policy
