One of the leading series on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy presents outstanding new work in the field. The volumes feature original essays on a wide range of themes and problems in all periods of ancient philosophy, from its earliest beginnings to the threshold of the middle ages. It is anonymously peer-reviewed and appears twice a year.
The series was founded in 1983, and in 2016 published its 50th volume. The series format was chosen so that it might include essays of more substantial length than is customarily allowed in journals, as well as critical essays on books of distinctive importance. Past editors include Julia Annas, Christopher Taylor, David Sedley, Brad Inwood, and Victor Caston. The current editor, as of July 2022, is Rachana Kamtekar.
Submissions to Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy should be sent to osap@cornell.edu.
1. Authors should remove all identifying information from their manuscript prior to submission.
OSAP's review process is triple blind: the editor does not know the author's identity until after she makes her editorial decision; reviewers and authors do not know each others' identity (unless they wish to disclose this to one another after the review process is complete). Email correspondence is monitored by an editorial assistant.
2. The contribution should be sent in pdf, on double-spaced A4 or 8-1/2 x 11" pages, and with minimum 1¼#" or 32 mm margins, along with a word count (separately indicating main body and footnotes). Unsolicited revisions will not be accepted; the submission adjudicated will be the initial one sent.
3. Although OSAP does not impose a word limit on submissions, authors should bear in mind that appropriate economy in presentation is considerate to readers. Note that referees for OSAP volunteer their time to read manuscripts.
