​Editorial policy

Estudis Arqueològics is a series started in 1993 and published by the Laboratori d’Arqueologia i Prehistòria of the University of Girona. First nine issues have been edited on physical support, but from number 10 onwards the publication is exclusively edited on-line. The series is open to a wide-range of archaeological subjects with the aim of publishing annually original and non-published researches about 50-100 pages long.

Estudis Arqueològics are conceived as a scientific edition series aimed at specialized readers. It pursues a very specific and singular goal: in the usual editorial world, there are often two kind of publications. On the one hand, there are more or less long journal papers and, on the other hand, there are more or less voluminous monographs.  In both cases, format requirements make difficult the publication of some researches in the way the researchers consider more appropriate. Guidelines of journals usually restrict significantly the proposal’s length and the number of figures, thus they lead to show the results of investigations in short and, at the same time, compel authors to make a restricted selection for the graphic support. Nevertheless, in some cases researchers need more freedom for explaining their works and showing all the materials, charts and illustrations they consider advisable. On the other side, monographs come usually from long and wide-range researches that gather a large amount of data. Therefore, studies of undeniable scientific value but focused on specific subjects or sites do not also fit in this format. In consequence, Estudis Arqueològics arise with the main aim of filling this halfway room and publishing original researches that do not fit easily into the formats of usual editions.

Original research works about archaeological subjects are accepted in a broad point of view both chronologically and geographically. Contributions may be written in the following languages: Catalan, Spanish, English, French and Italian.
