Introduction
Archaeological Research in Western & Central Asia (ARWA) is the peer reviewed annual journal of the International Association for Archaeological Research in Western and Central Asia.
The aim of the journal is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-regional research on the past human groups living in the cultural zone extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indus Valley, linking archaeology with history, philology, cultural anthropology, heritage studies, biology, geology and applied sciences. This is an Open Access journal that focuses on transregional research on any period from the Palaeolithic to the end of the Achaemenid period.
How to contribute
The journal welcomes original research papers and lengthy perspective papers.
- Perspective papers, both solicited and unsolicited, offer a comprehensive review of the most important current problems in the archaeology of the region. These papers count between 8.000-20.000 words, but flexibility in length will be considered depending on the topic. Authors should send a two-page summary and only submit the complete paper after preliminary acceptance by the editors. Papers will be submitted to a double-blind peer review process. Final acceptance is contingent upon successful reviews and satisfactory completion of any suggestions and corrections. When peer reviewed and finally accepted, the papers are available online for a few months before final publication and in that time other authors may send comments / replies that will be published together with the original perspective paper.
- Original research papers of no more than 8.000 words. Research papers should follow the standard format of an archaeological paper, with relatively high limit of figures and/or tables. Papers will be submitted to a double-blind peer review process.
Manuscripts can be submitted at any time during the year, to the following email address: journal@arwa-international.org.
The language of the journal is English. Guidelines for authors will soon be made available on this webpage, but can be requested by sending an email to the address above.
This interdisciplinary full OA journal is published by Brepols Publishers, with the support of the Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw.
