Guidelines

1. Studia Philologica Valentina (ISSN 1135-9560) is an international peer reviewed journal publishing original research contributions on the main filed of Classical Studies and other related disciplines. The publishing criterion for the submissions received is only based on its scientific methodology and results.
2. Every contribution received will be reviewed by the editorial board, who make a preliminary reading and a report, consulting if necessary members of the scientific committee, to submit the paper to a double-blind peer review process. The referees won’t have any information about the author, nor the author will know the identity of the referees at any moment. In addition, the two referees will not belong to the same institution as the author nor there will exist any direct relationship between them (coauthors, thesis advisor, members of the same research group…). The article will be accepted if both reviews are positive. In case of discrepancies, a new review will be asked to a third referee. Further information can be read in Ethics & Malpractice Statement
3. Articles can be written in any common language of Hispanic and/or International academic milieu.
4. Submissions will be sent by email to the following electronic address: sphv@uv.es.
5. The files will contain the title of the article, the author’s name, his professional address, telephone number and email (every change will be notified), and the academic institution. The shipping date will be also indicated.
6. Every submission should be sent as .docx and .pdf files. Please use only Times New Roman as a font. 14-point type for the title, 12-point type for the rest of the text (including list of bibliography, abstracts and keywords). Line-spacing should be set at 1,5. Footnotes, if necessary, will be written in Times New Roman (10-point type, single-spaced) and numbered consecutively. For Greek texts a Unicode source should be used.
7. Articles should be no longer than 80.000 characters (including footnotes) (circa 30 pages). Book reviews should be no longer than 3 pages.
8. All submission will contain an abstract written in the original language of the article and also in English (maximum 10 lines), and five keywords in both languages as well.
9. Every graphic (maps, charts…) included in the article should be original and sent in electronic format in a different document and with a mínimum quality rate of 300 ppp. If it is a reproduction, the author’s permission will be required. Pictures should be of high quality. All the charts should be numbered and accompanied by a footnote to identify them. The preferred place of inclusion in the article will be also indicated.
10. Citations will be presented as follows:
    • The submissions will follow the APA style. Throughout the text, citations be placed at the end of a sentence (before the concluding punctuation) in brackets and including the name of the author or authors, the year of publication and page(s) number(s) (Momigliano 1968: 120-122). To include a general reference to a work, page number will not be necessary (Momigliano 1968). If the author is quoted in the main text the year of publication and pages should be indicated: “…as suggested by Momigliano (1968: 120-122)…”.
    • Footnotes will include critical comments or discussion without a direct relation to the main topic of the article or to include translations of Greek or Latin texts. If these texts are longer than two lines, they should appear in a different paragraph in Times New Roman (11-point, line-spacing 1,5).
    • References to Classical text will follow the same criterion (Pl. Ap. 34a). For Greek authors the abbreviations of the LSJ will be used (A Greek-English lexicon, Oxford, 1968...
