NOTES:

  1. Mouseion did not return the survey for 2002, so this table includes information on 18 journals. (up)
  2. AJH does not disclose information regarding its referees. (up)
  3. Arethusa returned submissions from May 2001 until early 2002 because of the editor's appointment as Associate Dean; thus the numbers are not representative. Most submissions are sent to 2 referees, but some are sent to 1 referee and a member of the editorial board. (up)
  4. Classical Bulletin frequently tries to find 3 external referees, but never less than 2 for regular articles. For Quae Supersunt, which publishes non-research articles, CB accepts 1 referee. (up)
  5. Figures for Classical Outlook cover the period from July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003. (up)
  6. Classical World does not have a traditional editorial board; included here are the editor, associate and assistant editors, managing editor, and the subeditors of various departments, only some of whom are involved in evaluation of submissions. (up)
  7. Harvard Studies in Classical Philology reports that some submissions are externally reviewed, some internally, some both. Of the 2002 submissions, decisions on 8 are still pending (3 women, 5 men). (up)
  8. Numbers for ICS refer to Volume 27-28, covering 2002-2003; this volume was a Gedenkschrift and all contributions were solicited. (up)
  9. As a Canadian journal, Phoenix strives for francophone representation on its editorial board, as well as in its articles and reviews. In May 2003, a female took over as editor of the journal. Of the 2002 submissions, 2 were withdrawn (1 female, 1 male). (up)
  10. The numbers for Syllecta Classica include submissions sent directly to the guest editors of the journal's 2003 special issue, but not submissions sent to the journal and returned to their authors as the special issue was processed. (up)
  11. TAPA 132 (2002) was a short transitional volume (216 pp.). The figures for articles in TAPA do not include the Presidential Address, submissions to Paragraphoi, or the papers from the Vice-Presidential Panel, none of which went through the standard refereeing process. (up)

Close this window when finished.
