Publication Timeline

The approximate submission-to-publication schedule for Ex Novo Journal of Archaeology content is 10 to 12 months. Manuscripts submitted to Ex Novo will be held for review by the Editorial Panel. In order to speed up the process, we highly recommend to send a pre-submission inquiry at m.revello.lami@arch.leidenuniv.nl, including a title and an abstract of max 250 words. Once the first complete draft is submitted, it will undergo a double blind peer review process and – upon acceptance – will be inserted in the forthcoming issue. The earliest publication date will be December of the year of the first submission.
