Euxeinos is a double-blind peer reviewed academic journal. All articles submitted to Euxeinos undergo a two-step review process: In the first step, guest editors initiate and submit a specific issue to Euxeinos. Prospective guest editors are welcome to present their suggested topics to the editorial team. The guest editors chose authors and scholars for the publication. In the second step, all articles run through a double-blind peer review facilitated through the academic journal software "Scholastica."
The Euxeinos core editorial team, led by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schmid, Co-Editor Dr. Alexander Meienberger, and Managing Editor Elena Natenadze, M.A, is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of academic publishing and fostering impactful scholarly discourse within our community. Prof. Dr. Dirk Lehmkuhl, Dr. Sandra King-Savic, Dr. Katharina Biegger, and Dr. Oleksii Chebotarov are esteemed members of the editorial team, contributing their expertise and insights to further enhance the quality of our publication.

We welcome all interested candidates to submit the thematic proposal of the Euxeinos issue (maximum 3 pages) to euxeinos@unisg.ch.

As a guest editor you will be working closely with the editorial team; you are free to define the topic of the issue and to choose authors according to your own concept of what might be informatively discussed in an issue with five or more articles. Furthermore, as a guest editor, you are welcome to write a preface (editorial) to the issue. Guest editors are responsible for the concept of the issue and should edit the submitted papers in terms of scholarly content.
All articles submitted for publication should be written in English. The proof reading will be provided by Euxeinos based on the reviewers’ recommendation at the final stage of the publication process.
All articles submitted for Euxeinos must be written according to the Chicago Manual Style 17 edition.
Euxeinos has its formatting template, so articles should be kept simple: fonts Time New Roman, single-spaced, and using only italics and bold print, where necessary.
You should submit manuscripts only in Word. Before submitting, please be sure your paper has all sections: an abstract (max. 100 words), keywords (5-8), and the main text. Also, please remove all your personal information, like name, e-mail, and affiliation.
