Open Call for Thematic Proposals

Theme Editor

for future Guest Editors

Abstract

ARDETH welcomes proposals for thematic issues on an ongoing basis.

ARDETH is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal ranked Class A by ANVUR and indexed in ERIH Plus, Google Scholar, and DOAJ. It is published in open access without embargo and follows a code of ethics. Contributions undergo double-blind peer review.

The journal is structured around thematic issues developed in dialogue with Guest Editors. The Editorial Board defines the journal’s cultural project and is supported by an international Scientific Advisory Board.

Each issue typically includes 8–10 original research articles and develops around a main thematic core proposed by the Guest Editor(s), with one or two members of the Editorial Board serving as Issue Editor(s).

Guest Editor(s) work in close collaboration with the Editorial Board and the Issue Editor(s) to ensure the overall coherence of the issue and the quality of individual contributions.

ARDETH encourages proposals from prospective Guest Editor(s) at all career stages, provided they demonstrate expertise in the proposed field. Proposals may address topics emerging from ongoing research or suggest new research trajectories. In all cases, they should be of strong contemporary relevance and demonstrate the potential to attract a diverse and internationally representative range of contributions.

Proposals may be submitted at any time and are evaluated twice a year (June 15 and December 15). Successful proposals will receive a notification including the publication timeline and issue allocation.
