4. Manuscript Submission and Review : Manuscripts sent to the Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry (MAA), are acknowledged immediately, and, if their scope and quality seem appropriate, forwarded to at least two referees for peer review. Papers are normally published in order of the acceptance in final form, without preference for particular regions, periods, or topics. Submission of an article can ONLY be made via electronic procedure following the attached TEMPLATE format. Then send an e-mail to MAA (maa_journal@rhodes.aegean.gr) and choose the Editor-in-Chief or an Editor for the handling of your article. Submission should be accompanied with a cover letter confirming that the manuscript has not been published in part or in full elsewhere and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
5. Manuscript Format : see TEMPLATE for guidance.
All manuscripts should be carefully edited to eliminate redundancy. All abbreviated terms should be explained on first occurrence.
Manuscripts should begin with an Abstract of up to 200 words that contains concise factual information on objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Opinions, obscure terms, and jargon should be avoided. Key Word Index should follow, including a minimum of 6 Keywords . Avoid words that are referred in title. The body of the text should begin with a statement of the objectives of the work. It should include citations of published related work and sections on Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions of the study. An Acknowledgement section may follow the Conclusions.

EDITORIAL FORWARD 2013
Dear Reader,
In the closing of year 2013 the Volume 13, No.2 of MAA exhibits an exceptional increase of double blind peer reviewed articles of interdisciplinary nature that cover uniquely topical and global interest issues focused on the Mediterranean cultural assets. We are proud to show up and document papers of high standards of ancient Mediterranean cultures including areas beyond but linked with Mediterranean history. Also, we launch a special issue the Vol.13, No.3 of peer reviewed proceedings of luminescence in archaeology international symposia.
Both are also offered online.
This is another hallmark of continuous efforts of all editorial board members – past and present- but reflects the preference of authors from Mediterranean countries and beyond to publish with MAA, too.
MAA is indexed by most important databases agents: Thomson Reuters (Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Impact Factor 0.23), Scopus (Elsevier), Google Scholar, NASA/ADS, Ulrichsweb
We wish you a Happy & Prosperous New Year, full of power, wisdom, harmony, as well as, an ecumenical peace, love, joy and solidarity to the World, to you and your family!
Prof. Ioannis Liritzis
Editor in Chief |
MAA is converted to full online journal free access to whole texts as .pdf files from this year. The process is ongoing. The printed version (2001-2014) is kept only if authors ask for back issues or if individuals or libraries require printed volumes.
As from 2015 frequency is increased to 4 times per year and there is an advertisement page too. The Journal will keep the rapid reviewing procedure following the standard double blind review and ensures swift publication of high quality papers in innovation or important applications and excavation reports related to the Mediterranean region .
Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry (MAA) is an interdisciplinary International Journal issued by The University of the Aegean , Department of Mediterranean Studies, Rhodes , Greece . MAA is published since 2001 and from 2008 is operating in updated format.
The international journal MAA "Encourage international discussion on the coupling between archaeology and archaeometry in their broader sense, initiating forums of discussion on the establishment of widely accepted criteria of correct approach and solution of particularly current and future archaeological problems."
It focuses in the Mediterranean region and on matters referred to interactions of Mediterranean with neighbouring areas, but presents an international forum of research, innovations, discoveries, applications and meetings, concerning the modern approaches to the study of human past.
The Editors will welcome contributions from all parts of the World focused on Mediterranean region and interactions with neighbouring regions .
