Submission instructions

 

Submission process

All submissions are considered by the Editor in the first instance. Suitable papers are peer-reviewed by a minimum of two experts. Peer-reviewers (also known as Referees) are selected for their knowledge and expertise and may include, but are not limited to, IJAS's Editorial Advisory Board. Submissions are assessed on the potential interest of new archaeological interdisciplinary studies.

If you are unsure whether a paper is suitable for archsci, please contact the Editor prior to submission (ijas@ut.ac.ir).

Authors are strongly advised to read the instructions below before submitting a manuscript. Submitted manuscripts that do not adhere to IJAS's standards may be returned to the author(s). Resubmissions of papers previously declined may be considered when invited by the editor.
