Papers may be submitted on the understanding that the work has not been published before in other journals, is not considered for publication elsewhere and has been read and approved by all authors. All manuscripts were screened for the originality of content submitted before publication.
We advise authors to read Guidelines for Preparing Articles thoroughly before submitting their manuscripts (the requirements for the preparation of articles are specified in items 1-7).
Articles must be submitted with one review form. Two more reviewers are appointed by the Editorial Board (see Peer review policies).
The RES HUMANITARIAE expects authors to make all relevant data available, as well as details of methods used and ethical conduct of research using cultural and human remains. We adhere to the principle that the destructive sampling of human remains should strive to minimize damage and preserve material. Images of human remains should not be published without consideration to the views of any demonstrated genealogical descendants or affiliated cultural communities’.
In accepting the terms and conditions of the RES HUMANITARIAE authors guarantee that their work was produced free of research misconduct. In line with the EAA’s Code of Practice (1.6) which states that authors ‘will not engage in, or allow their names to be associated with, any form of activity relating to the illicit trade in antiquities and works of art, covered by the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the means of prohibiting and preventing the illicit import, export, and transfer of ownership of cultural property’. Scientific material knowingly obtained illegally from unprovenanced sources should not be published in the RES HUMANITARIAE.
It is the responsibility of corresponding authors to obtain consent to submit work to the journal from all co-authors, before the work is submitted. The RES HUMANITARIAE advocates freedom of scholarly expression and, therefore, reserves the right to publish criticisms of published work and of scholars, including any firmly substantiated claims of misconduct, and to report them to professional organisations and higher authorities for further investigation. The Editor-in Chief, Editorial Team reserve the right to edit peer reviews, including reviewers’ requests that authors cite their own work.
