Contributions

Heliotropia invites contributions from scholars in all fields of academic endeavor. There are no article processing/submission fees. All articles are subject to double-blind reviews by two reviewers. The review period is usually between 3 and 6 months, depending upon when the article is submitted in the publication process and when the reviewers are available. Reports from reviewers, who remain unnamed, are returned to authors for appropriate action.

Note that already published work will not be accepted and that authors whose submissions pass this initial stage of evaluation may then be requested to make further modifications before their work is published in the journal. Thorough peer-review is an essential component of the journal's success as well as the key to providing consistently high quality scholarship. Copyright and publishing rights are retained by the author/s, but all subsequent publication in print should be accompanied by proper bibliographical acknowledgment of its appearance here.

Form

Articles tend to range in length from approximately 5000 to 15,000 words; notes and reviews from 2000-5000. Potential authors should download the stylesheet from the link to the left.

Submissions for publication in Heliotropia may be made electronically by attachment (documents in Word or RTF only) to [email protected].

Books Received

Heliotropia accepts for review books written in major European languages that contain a substantial amount of content related to Boccaccio and/or fourteenth-century Italy.

If a book cannot be placed with a qualified reviewer within four years of its publication date, it will be removed.

About the Journal

Heliotropia is a peer-reviewed journal that was created to provide a widely and readily available forum for research and interpretation to an international community of Boccaccio scholars. Its role, first and foremost, is to promote and disseminate recent scholarship in a form that is both efficiently accessible and cost-free.

Principal characteristics

Content

Heliotropia considers a wide range of contributions for publication. The preferred languages of publication are English and Italian. The chief unifying criterion for acceptance of a piece is its pertinence to the study of Boccaccio's life and works. Note that preference is given to submissions that are innovative, whether in scope or approach. Especially welcome are studies that are interdisciplinary in nature. Authors implicitly take responsibility for obtaining reproduction permission of non-original materials and must submit proof of such permission together with the final version of their essay whenever appropriate. Reviews submitted for publication are a valuable asset to the community of Boccaccio scholars as well. Please note, however, that we do not accept self-reviews or the unwarranted promotion of friends and colleagues. Authors or publishers who would like to have a book reviewed may submit one copy to the address listed below.

The exegetic scope of the journal is vast. Because our readers' interests are as varied as their approaches to Boccaccio's life and works, all substantial scholarly contributions are considered for publication. Consequently, the journal hosts the entire gamut of interpretive perspectives, from rigorous philological and historical studies to highly theoretical and wide-ranging comparative inquiries.

Open Access Policies

Heliotropia is an Open Access journal, which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search and link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This decision was made in accordance with the BOAI definition of Open Access. The appearance of each scholar's academic affiliation guarantees that his/her institution may preserve a second copy in its official repository. Lastly, the journal is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
