Athīrat: Journal of Ancient Arabia is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal published by the Hassan bin Mohammed Center for Historical Studies (HBMHC) in collaboration with Brill. The Journal is dedicated to the field of the study of Ancient Arabia covering all of its subdisciplines and approaches (in terms of theories, methodologies, approaches, and findings). Athīrat welcomes a wide range of historical, archaeological, epigraphic, rock art, linguistic, textual, philological, social, cultural, economic and intellectual approaches. The Journal prioritizes the publication of the most recent epigraphic and rock art discoveries in Arabia. Athīrat also encourages interdisciplinary studies that synthesize the aforementioned approaches. The Journal’s chronological remit extends from pre-historic times to the early Islamic period (seventh century CE), and covers the Arabian Peninsula geographically defined, from Yemen and Oman in the south to the Syrian desert in the north, and occasionally adjacent areas.

Instructions for Authors
The publication of a manuscript in a peer-reviewed work is expected to follow standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: authors, editors, and reviewers. Authors, editors, and reviewers should thoroughly acquaint themselves with Brill’s publication ethics, which may be downloaded here: https://brill.com/page/ethics/publication-ethics-cope-compliance.
Online Submission
Athīrat: Journal of Ancient Arabia (ATHR) now uses online submission only. Authors should submit their manuscripts by email to athirat.journal@gmail.com.
Double-blinded Peer Review
ATHR uses a double-blind peer review system, which means that manuscript author(s) do not know who the reviewers are, and that reviewers do not know the names of the author(s). When you submit your article, please attach a separate title page that includes the full title of the manuscript, the names and complete contact details of all authors, the abstract, keywords, and any acknowledgement texts. Authors also have to send along their full affiliation: department, university, city, country. All other files (manuscript, figures, tables, etc.) should not contain any information concerning author names, institutions, etc. The names of these files and the document properties should also be anonymized.
File Format
Contributions should be submitted as both a Word document and a Portable Document Format (PDF).
Contact Address
For any questions or problems relating to your manuscript please contact: ATHR’s e-mail address: athirat.journal@gmail.com.
Affiliation and Acknowledgements
After reviewers’ approval, the following information should be added underneath the article title: Author’s name, author’s full affiliation accompanied by the city and country of the institution in addition to the author’s e-mail address (e.g., Mohammed Maraqten, Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Berlin, Germany, mohammed.maraqten@gmail.com). If an author wishes to list acknowledgements, they should be placed in the first footnote appended to the author’s name. This is also the appropriate place for personal words of faith and praise, opening religious formulae and the like, with which authors enhance their work.
File Format
Both Windows and Mac users are requested to save the file with the extension: .doc or .rtf.
Major Criteria for Acceptance of Articles
When composing their texts, authors are requested to take into account the following major criteria for acceptance:
Archaeological Discoveries
Theory
Contribution/Novelty
Plagiarism & Potential Legal Issues
Audience/Scope
Structure/Coherence
Submission Requirements
Language
Contributions should be written in English or Arabic. If it is necessary to include text in another language, please follow the spelling and capitalization rules for those languages.
Unicode and Non-Roman Fonts
In view of a uniform encoding of non-Latin scripts and diacritics used for Roman transliteration of Arabic, the use of fonts conforming to the Unicode standard is required. For the handling of special scripts and transliteration, we recommend following the rules given below, and the information provided on the Brill website at: https://brill.com/fileasset/downloads_static/static_fonts_latinipaunicodelist.pdf.
If you have need of special diacritics then Brill suggests the Brill font (https://brill.com/about/brill-fonts). For all diacritics that cannot be displayed with regular fonts or the Brill, please send along the font with the article's electronic version. Please use a Unicode compliant font. For any article using special fonts, send along a PDF file with the fonts embedded.
In case the author uses specific non-standard fonts for the diacritics of Arabic or Persian letters, notes about these fonts must be submitted.
Length
Contributions should not exceed 12,000 words, inclusive of in-text citations and notes, but exclusive of a bibliography. Please include a word count with your contribution. The length of the paper should be commensurate with what it actually contributes.
Transliteration
Transliterations of foreign words should follow accepted formats. For the transliteration of Arabic and Persian script, we follow the system commonly used in the study of Ancient Arabia.

Fonts
English: Brill Font

Manuscript Structure
The text must be formatted with 1.5-inch margins and be double-spaced. For all other matters of style such as capitalization and the use of italics, the Chicago Manual of Style (available online at: https://chicagomanualofstyle.org/contents.html) should be used as a guide.
Abstract and Keywords
All submissions should be accompanied by concise abstracts (max. 150 words) in both English and Arabic. At least five keywords should be included after the abstract text in both Arabic and English.
Punctuation Marks
All punctuation marks (, : ; .) placed next to quotation marks, should generally be included within the quotation marks (e.g. “right,” but not “false”, etc.). Moreover, if a footnote number is placed next to a punctuation mark, it should be placed after the punctuation mark (;1 .2) unless the context exigently requires it to be arranged differently.
Indentation
Authors should use tabs for the indentation of paragraphs.
Headings
Obvious structures in the article should be clearly outlined with the use of headings.
1 First Level Headings Are Bold
1.1 Second Level Headings Are Bold Italic
1.1.2 Third Level Headings Are Roman
Footnotes
Footnotes are confined to short commentaries or necessary digressions. (Citations or references are only provided in the main text, as indicated before and illustrated below). ATHR does not make use of endnotes. Please ensure that notes are relevant and necessary and if the note becomes longer than a few short sentences, please consider whether it merits being included in the main text.
References
In Text Citations
Citations or references have to be provided in the text between brackets and in accordance with the Author-Date approach as outlined below from the Chicago Manual of Style (see https://chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html).
Bibliography
Please provide an alphabetical list of all sources cited in your contribution in the form of a bibliography. The style to be followed is that of the Author-Date approach as outlined below from The Chicago Manual of Style. This bibliography will not contribute to your word count. For more details and many more examples, see The Chicago Manual of Style, chapter 15.
Figures
Diagrams, charts, maps, plans, and other line drawings that are not embedded into the text files, as well as photographs must be submitted as high-resolution image files (TIFF format). If excessive file size forbids the uploading of images by e-mail, these may be forwarded on CD-ROM while being replaced by low-resolution link copies at the appropriate places in the article.
They should be graphic files that are at least 300 dpi for pictures and at least 600 dpi for line drawing.
Book Reviews
In addition to the Articles, ATHR regularly publishes reviews of major new contributions to the field of Ancient Arabia Studies. In general, the Editorial Board of ATHR will invite experts to write these reviews. However, it also welcomes the submission of book reviews by individual authors at their own initiative. The combined purpose of the typical book review for ATHR is to summarize and, at the same time, critically evaluate the work discussed. With a space limit between 800 and 2000 words, there will always be the need to strike a balance between providing information about the work to be reviewed on the one hand, and leaving enough space for the reviewer’s own evaluation on the other hand. Besides these two elements, a third aspect is to be covered in the type of “extended review” required for ATHR, namely providing a critical commentary on the relevance of the work under review to (one or more of) the fields of Ancient Arabia Studies. Therefore, book reviews for ATHR should cover the following three basic elements:
1 Summary
2 Critical Evaluation
3 Relevance for the field of Ancient Arabia Studies
Review Headings
Information given in the headings of reviews takes the following form in order and punctuation:
• Rashed, Roshdi (ed.), Lexique historique de la langue scientific arabe, Liv + 971pp. Arabic Science and Culture 1. Hidesheim: Georg-Olms-Verlag, 2017. €98. Hardcover. ISBN 9783-48715528-9.
• Ansari, Hassan, L’imamat et l’occultation selon l’imamisme: Étude bibliographique et histoire des textes, xx + 310pp + 268pp (Annexe en Arabe). Islamic History and Civilization: Studies and Text 134. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2017. $245. Hardback. ISBN 978-90-04-23228-0.
Publication
Proofs
Upon acceptance, a PDF of the article proofs will be sent to the author by e-mail to check carefully for factual and typographic errors. In the event of a multi-authored contribution, proofs are sent to the firstnamed author unless otherwise requested. Authors are responsible for checking these proofs and are strongly urged to make use of the Comment & Markup toolbar to note their corrections directly on the proofs. At this stage in the production process only minor corrections are allowed. Alterations to the original manuscript at this stage will result in considerable delay in publication and, therefore, are not accepted unless charged to the author. Proofs should be returned promptly.
Consent to Publish
Transfer of Copyright
By submitting a manuscript, the author agrees that the copyright for the article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. For that purpose the author needs to sign the Consent to Publish form, which will be sent with the first proofs of the manuscript.
Open Access
All issues of ATHR are published with Open Access, which allows for non-exclusive Open Access publication under a Creative Commons. During the publication process, authors will be required to sign a special Brill Open Consent to Publish Form. More information on Brill Open can be found on https://brill.com/openaccess.

With a space limit between 800 and 2000 words, there will always be the need to strike a balance between providing information about the work to be reviewed on the one hand, and leaving enough space for the reviewer’s own evaluation on the other hand. Besides these two elements, a third aspect is to be covered in the type of “extended review” required for ATHR, namely providing a critical commentary on the relevance of the work under review to (one or more of) the fields of Ancient Arabia Studies. Therefore, book reviews for ATHR should cover the following three basic elements:
1 Summary
2 Critical Evaluation
3 Relevance for the field of Ancient Arabia Studies

Publication
Proofs
Upon acceptance, a PDF of the article proofs will be sent to the author by e-mail to check carefully for factual and typographic errors. In the event of a multi-authored contribution, proofs are sent to the firstnamed author unless otherwise requested. Authors are responsible for checking these proofs and are strongly urged to make use of the Comment & Markup toolbar to note their corrections directly on the proofs. At this stage in the production process only minor corrections are allowed. Alterations to the original manuscript at this stage will result in considerable delay in publication and, therefore, are not accepted unless charged to the author. Proofs should be returned promptly.
Consent to Publish
Transfer of Copyright
By submitting a manuscript, the author agrees that the copyright for the article is transferred to the publisher if and when the article is accepted for publication. For that purpose the author needs to sign the Consent to Publish form, which will be sent with the first proofs of the manuscript.

All issues of ATHR are published with Open Access, which allows for non-exclusive Open Access publication under a Creative Commons.
