Author Guidelines
The Editors of Études et Travaux highly appreciate your effort to adapt your text to the format of our journal as early as possible, as only one Author’s proof will be possible.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Études et Travaux (commonly abbreviated EtudTrav) deals with archaeology of the ancient and early medieval cultures of the Mediterranean Basin, Near East and North Africa. We invite every scholar willing to share results of her/his studies on the research field to contribute our journal. Études et Travaux is a scholarly annual of the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and is indexed by the European Reference Index for Humanities (ERIH). The journal is edited primarily in a print version, with black and white illustrations only. However, from volume XXVII on, an electronic version with colour photos will be published alongside the printed one.
The papers are assessed by double-blind peer-reviews, conducted by specialists from an independent scholars’ reviewing board. Contributions should be in English, French or German. Papers sent to the Editor before the end of June of the current year will appear by the end of June of the following year. Each Author will receive a complete copy of the journal and a .pdf version of his contribution.
