Introduction:

IWNW is an annual peer-reviewed open-access journal that is issued from the faculty of archaeology, Ain-Shams University, Egypt. It concerns with publication of original researches in the fields of archaeology (history, architecture, arts, philology, religion etc.), museology, cultural heritage and conservation. Publications are accepted in English or other European Languages. an electronic version of the articles will be available on the journal website of the faculty of archaeology, Ain-Shams University and the EKB site.

Preparation of Manuscripts:

These guidelines are designed to assist authors of both IWNW articles and IWNW monographs (including Supplements). Because we do not insist that authors conform to our house style when initially submitting their manuscripts for review, these guidelines are targeted at scholars who have already had their manuscript accepted for publication by the IWNW members and are now revising it for final submission.

However, the practice of following a consistent style is encouraged by all publishers, and authors in ancient studies may find it helpful to follow these guidelines from the beginning of the writing process, even if their manuscript is eventually published elsewhere. When a manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will be asked to provide the final artwork, copies of any necessary permissions, and a revised version of the manuscript that incorporates all changes specified in the acceptance letter and conforms to the guidelines described below. The revised manuscript should be received within three months of acceptance (for IWNW articles) or within six months of acceptance (for monographs) or it may need to be reviewed again. A manuscript will not be scheduled for production until all requested revisions, illustrations, and permissions have been received. Once the revised manuscript has been submitted, no major changes to the text will be allowed.

The researcher is not allowed to publish more than one research in one issue, and what is more than that is deferred to the next issue after fulfilling the requirements of publication. It is to be noted that the number of pages of the research submitted for publication should not exceed twenty-five pages, including images and figures. What is more than this is counted as extra pages with a maximum of forty pages for the entire research.

Formatting:

The manuscript is written in the form of Microsoft Word, but should be send in both Word and PDF format. Including images and shapes. The size of the page is A4 with margins of 3 cm on all four sides, and single spacing with 6pt. before and after. The Indention is .5cm. at the beginning of each paragraph and is to be inserted electronically not manually. The font Seize is 12, for the text, 10 for footnotes. The footnotes are inserted automatically (Alt + Ctrl + F), on bottom of pages, restart each page.

Page Seize: A4

Footnotes: on bottom of pages, restart each page.

1-  Title: The title of the research is to be written in the center of the paper in font 14 Bold.

2-  The auther’s name: In the center in font 13 Bold.

3-  The Author Affiliation and country. In the center in font 13.

4-  The Official auther’s email. In the center in font 13.

All the metadata is provided in English on the first page, followed by a translation into Arabic or other European Language.  

CATALOGUES:

Catalogue entries generally contain the following elements:

• Catalogue number (in boldface), object name, figure or plate number
• Inventory number, context Dimensions
• Preservation
• Bibliographic references
• Description
• Discussion, including comparanda (with bibliography)
• Date Individual elements of the entry and their order may vary according to the type of material presented; consistency across entries should be maintained.
• For those who use other languages like Coptic, Greek; authors are not required to use exact fonts, but we do insist that all Greek/Coptic…ect. text be submitted in a unicode font; this will significantly reduce the introduction of errors that can occur during the conversion of the files. It is extremely important that authors check the accuracy of source references, diacritical marks, line numbers, brackets, and other editorial apparatus. When citing published Greek passages, please supply a photocopy of the passage so that we also may proofread the text.

Epigraphical Texts/ Inscriptions:

 The following guidelines include information both for primary publications of texts and for work that makes use of epigraphical material and inscriptions. Presentations of new readings should include a legible photograph of the inscribed object or, if necessary or preferable, of a squeeze. If the inscription is large it may be desirable to provide several photographs illustrating details of the inscribed text. If the size and spacing of letters and traces of letters are not sufficiently clear in photographs, the author should instead provide a facsimile drawing. Typeset texts are not substitutes for facsimile drawings: typography can render only the content of a text; it cannot reproduce its appearance. Work that makes use of epigraphical material without presenting a primary publication should include the above items to the extent that they are relevant to the work. The presentation of an inscription will be more or less elaborate, depending on the length and significance of the text. The editor of an editio princeps should include the following items:

1- Description

• Inventory number
• Type of material
• State of preserved surfaces
• Place and date of discovery
• Dimensions of the object in meters: these are, by convention, height at the highest point, width at the widest point. If the size of the inscribed object differs greatly from that of the inscribed face, the height and width of the inscribed face are also given.
• Height of the letters in meters

2- Text:

• The date should appear above, at left (e.g., ca. 1500-1400 B.C., 525–500 B.C., A.D. 114).
• The number of letters per line should be indicated above, at right. If the text is inscribed stoichedon, it should be stated here (e.g., Stoich. 74); for texts that are not stoichedon, an estimate of line length (e.g., Nonstoich. 23–27) can be stated in this position. c. Every line of text should be counted, and every fifth line numbered. If the stone is preserved in nonjoining fragments, designate the fragments by lowercase Latin letters, e.g., fr. a, fr. b. If the stone is inscribed on more than one face, designate the inscribed faces by capital Latin letters, e.g., Face A, Face B. Number the lines continuously from fragment to fragment and column to column. d. An estimate of the number of missing lines of text should be included within the text. e. When previously published fragments are found to join, the manner of reference to lines will necessarily vary, depending on the nature of the material. Maintaining the line numbering of the larger or better-known fragment is preferable. f. Sigla. The Leiden convention is generally employed. The most important epigraphical conventions are clearly and concisely illustrated in the front matter to SEG. For a complete discussion with illustrative examples, see S. Dow, Conventions in Editing: A Suggested Reformulation of the Leiden System (Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Scholarly Aids 2), Durham 1969.

Spelling, Usage, and Punctuation American spelling and usage are employed, following Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th ed.

For example, write theater, not theatre; color, not colour; balk, not baulk; gray, not grey. When the dictionary supplies variations in spelling, the first one listed is the preferred form. A lowercase style is generally preferred (e.g., grave 1, well 7, level 5, stratum B). The rules of punctuation set down in the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed., are followed. https://www.mvcc.edu/learning-commons/pdf/Chicago_Manual_of_Style_17_Notes_and_Bibliography.pdf
