Guidelines for manuscripts

Aegyptus et Pannonia / Guidelines for manuscripts

On receipt of a manuscript, the scientific committee will review and evaluate the manuscripts and might suggest changes for the author(s).

Proofs will be sent to the author(s) for review via email, and must be returned to the editor within two weeks of receipt.

We ask the authors to send their manuscripts electronically, in MS Word with pictures in separate files. We also need to get the whole article in PDF format including all tables, figures and photographs, and also given the authors’s institutional affiliation.

Pictures are expected in jpg or tif format, and printable at minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch.

Manuscripts should be composed in 12 point type (Times New Roman font is preferred), with footnotes (references abbreviated*). The article must include a summary of not more than 250 words.

All illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) are to be labelled as “Figures.”  Captions for all figures should be included as a separate page. Authors are solely responsible for obtaining any and all permissions for reproducing photographs, illustrations, etc., prior to the publication of any accepted article.

Please send the manuscript as attachments to the nephthysproject@gmail.com

Please use the free JSESH program to generate all hieroglyphs, available at: http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/en/download, and compose them in horizontal lines, read left to right. For transliteration of ancient Egyptian we recommend using the standard free transliteration font also available online.

For Greek we recommend Athenian which can be found online at:
