Gorffennol: The Swansea University History and Classics Online Journal and Blog

Gorffennol is the Welsh word for ‘past’, and is the name of the online student journal of the History Department at Swansea University. It is run by an editorial team consisting of nine students and one member of staff from the Department, producing a yearly journal as well as ad hoc blog posts.

The student-led online journal will be published annually, showcasing articles from postgraduate historians as well as outstanding student assignments from the medieval, early modern, and modern periods. This journal will not only display excellent post- and undergraduate work, but also help our students increase their employability by providing them with editorial experience.

Regular blog posts by students and staff will include short articles on historical topics, module-specific research, and posts showing students’ experiences of modules in our Department.

The editorial team are being guided by Dr Charlie Rozier as supporting lecturer and Amy Megson as Chief Editor.

Open Access Journal: Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society

[First posted in AWOL 20 September 2016, updated 27 May 2018]

Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
ISSN: 0266 2442

Strata: The Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society

Strata is an annual peer-reviewed academic journal that seeks to bring the latest studies of the archaeology of Israel-Palestine and its surrounding regions to a wider international audience. We welcome articles on many aspects of research that lead to a better understanding of the archaeology in this region, an archaeology that is of great interest internationally because of its significance both for understanding the development of three of the world’s great religions and for the important history of Israel-Palestine. We are also keen to have reviews of recently-published books studies on archaeological topics of the area.

Until 2009, Strata was published continuously from 1982 as the Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society, but with the addition of this headline – and a new cover – we hope to make it more easily recognisable in libraries and elsewhere. Strata articles also are widely available online in the Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) database,  though note that these currently still remain categorised under the Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society.

New Open Access Journal: NEO: The Classics Students' Journal

NEO: The Classics Students' Journal

​In March 2016, five Classics students at the University of Roehampton came together with the idea of creating a journal with the sole purpose of publishing the very best work produced by undergraduate and graduate students; NEO – The Classics Students' Journal was founded. 

A journal by students, for students. Our main objective here at NEO is to foster the academic progression of students and early career researchers. We only publish work of the highest creativity and scholarly quality so that we might provide a creditable avenue for the key first steps in an academic career. We also want to give our authors their first and necessary contact with the demanding standards of the professional academic world. We publish original graduate and undergraduate studies that may have arisen from university assessments or from papers presented at academic meetings and conferences. Our double peer-review system ensures the excellence of the papers contained within NEO and, by extent, the authors who succeed in being published with us. We believe that the opportunities created by this journal will encourage confidence, provide additional motivation for students to excel in their studies, and enable us to exhibit some of the outstanding and academically contributing work produced inside the university Classics classroom.

Open Access Journal: Pegasus: The Journal of the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter

Pegasus: The Journal of the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter
ISSN: 0308-2431

Pegasus is the Journal of the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter. It was established in 1964 and is currently edited by a board of postgraduates. The journal focuses on multifarious aspects of the ancient world, the Exeter Department of Classics and Ancient History, as well as the Classical World in Devon.

We aim to include a mixture of both the scholarly and the absurd (“Difficult to tell which is which”, an anonymous reader once commented). Regular features include pieces by staff and students, book reviews and interviews with people from the world of Classics, both within and outside the department. In addition, we welcome submissions from our readers. For alumni and former staff members, Pegasus is a great way of staying in touch with the department and keeping up with departmental news.

For more details about issue no. 57 (2014) please click here.

Past issues have included the Jackson Knight Memorial Lectures, articles by students (including J.K. Rowling), contests, artwork and poetry. An index of previous articles is available on this site. Many of these issues are still available to order. As of 2013, you can also read all back issues (save those published in the last five years) as PDFs on our website.

The Lawerence Shenfield Prize runner-up articles are also published on this website, and can be found here.
