Author Guidelines

Process of Submission

Complete contributions can be submitted anytime online via the electronic journal management system (OJS).

Please hand in an anonymized version of your contribution. Information about the autor(s) should not be included at all in the files (and their meta data).

Submitted contributions will be first checked by the editors and will then undergo a double-blind peer review process.

After the review process and (if necessary) revisions by the authors, the authors will receive proofs for correction, which must be returned within the time frame determined by the publication schedule.

Chronotopos does not charge authors any processing or publishing fees.
