About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Keria (Greek for ‘honeycomb’) was founded by the Slovenian Society for Classical and Humanistic Studies in 1999. As a national journal for all fields of Greek and Latin studies, it is committed to fostering dialogue between scholarship, teaching, and other areas of culture. It is issued twice a year and it welcomes research articles, translations, pedagogical contributions, literary essays, book reviews, and other submissions relevant to the study of classical antiquity and its reception, Latin and Byzantine Middle Ages, Latin humanism, and Modern Greek language and culture.

Peer Review Process

All manuscripts in Keria are peer reviewed. They are examined by the editors upon receipt. Afterwards the authors are (if necessary) asked to correct or change the manuscript. After the manuscript has been corrected it is sent to two anonymous reviewers (double blind review). If the reviews require the manuscript to be corrected or augmented, the review will be sent to the author to correct the manuscript. Manuscripts with major corrections are subject to a second review. The editor-in-chief and managing editor have the right to make suggestions for improvements regarding contents and technical aspects. The article may be rejected for publication by the reviewers or by the editors.

Keria is published twice a year.
