The brief of Histos is rapid publication of high-quality articles and notes on all aspects of ancient historiography and biography (including Jewish historiography, the Gospels and later Christian material) and of in-depth reviews of recent publications in the field. It is not our intention to publish material which is per se historical, unless it illuminates the qualities of ancient historians or biographers (this will be a matter of balance and judgment). All submissions will be anonymously refereed by experts. We aim for a turn-around time of a maximum of three months. We publish in English, French, German, and Italian.
We particularly welcome submissions to Histos from scholars belonging to groups that are historically under-represented in academic journal publishing, including women and scholars of colour. We are monitoring our submissions for equality-related considerations, and aspire to achieve the greatest diversity possible in our field of contributors and authors reviewed.
