Open Access Journal: Akkadica

ISSN: 378-5087
 

Akkadica was first published in 1977 as the bimonthly journal of the Fondation Assyriologique / Assyriologische Stichting Georges Dossin, named in honour of the eminent Assyriologist Georges Dossin (1896-1983), widely regarded as the founding figure of Belgian Assyriology. The foundation—later renamed the Assyriological Centre Georges Dossin—was established in his honour by his students: Jean-Robert Kupper (1920-2009) of the University of Liège, André Finet (1921-2007) of the Free University of Brussels, Léon De Meyer (1928-2006) of Ghent University, and Denyse Homès-Fredericq (1934- ) of the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels.

In its early decades, Akkadica published excavation reports, editions of cuneiform texts, and scholarly studies on the history and cultures of Mesopotamia. In addition, the journal served as a forum for the international Assyriological community by reporting on ongoing projects, academic events, newly published research, and professional announcements.

From 2001 onwards, Akkadica shifted its focus exclusively to peer-reviewed scholarly articles and has since been published biannually. During this period, the journal was edited by Léon De Meyer and Denyse Homès-Fredericq; following De Meyer’s death in 2006, Michel Tanret joined the editorial team as editor. Since 2009, Akkadica has held the A1 quality label awarded by Thomson Reuters (now Clarivate Analytics) and has been indexed in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI).

In 2026, Akkadica entered a new phase as a diamond open-access journal, freely available online with no publication or reading fees. The journal is now published by a Ghent University–based editorial team, led by Katrien De Graef (Editor-in-Chief), with Gustav Ryberg Smidt and Mirko Surdi as Assistant Editors, and supported by an international editorial board of leading scholars in the archaeology, history, and languages of Western Asia.

Open Access Journal: Antichthon

ISSN: 0066-4774 (Print)
ISSN: 2056-8819 (Online)
Antichthon 

Antichthon is an annual internationally recognised journal of ancient world studies. While it places its main emphasis on Greece and Rome, its scope has been broadly defined so as to embrace the Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean from the beginnings of civilisation to the Early Middle Ages.

The journal is open to contributions from any country, and will publish articles on topics relating to the languages, literature, thought, history, archaeology and reception of the ancient world. It will not undertake full-scale reviewing, but may include occasional reviews and articles reporting the progress of scholarship in a particular field of enquiry. The language of publication is English. From time to time special thematic volumes will be published.   

We are delighted to announce that all articles accepted for publication in Antichthon from 12 December 2025 will be ‘open access’; published with a Creative Commons licence and freely available to read online (see the journal’s Open Access Options (opens in a new tab) page for available licence options).

We have an OA option for every author: the costs of open access publication will be covered through agreements between the publisher and the author’s institution, payment of APCs for those with third-party funding, or else waived entirely, ensuring every author can publish and enjoy the benefits of OA. 

See this FAQ for more information.
