Acta Numismatica Hungarica
Submission Guidelines for Authors
Acta Numismatica Hungarica (ANH) will be published as an open-access, annual, peer-reviewed online numismatic journal in PDF format with continuous page numbering. The journal covers numismatics and joined sciences from antiquity to the modern days. The journal will publish original research articles, reviews. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to acta@numizmatika.org. The format of the manuscript should be either Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx, .rtf) or LibreOffice Writer (.odt). We can accept manuscripts in English only (bilingual papers are also accepted, however, in this case English should be the primary language). The manuscript should include title, author's name, affiliation and email address, text with footnotes, list of works cited, figure captions and an abstract of 100-200 words. It should be typed single-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman (or Times New Roman CE) font without any additional formatting, e.g. paragraph indenting, page breaks, page numbering etc. Tables, plates and figures should not be embedded in the text, place them instead in separate files. Figures should be submitted as separate high-quality image files (see below). Please note that editors are in no position to pay any honoraria for the authors. Following the policy of open-access journals, papers published in ANH will be freely available in full text online and in a downloadable format to anyone without any fees or subscription.
Notes
The ANH does not use in-text citation, except for references to primary ancient sources. References to classical literature should be given in parentheses in full (Vitruvius, De architectura 2.3.3) or abbreviated form (Vitr., De arch. 2.3.3) following standard conventions, including author, title (italicized) and the appropriate book, chapter, paragraph, or line numbers, separated by periods. Notes should be formatted as footnotes, not endnotes. Bibliographical citations should appear in chronological order and to be drawn from the list of cited works. These citations should consist of the author's last name, the year of publication, and relevant inclusive pages, figures, plates, etc. Do not use abbreviations such as op. cit., loc. cit., ibid., idem, passim, infra, supra or vague page ranges, e.g. 125f. or 125ff.

Illustrations
There is no limit of figures authors are allowed to submit, however, the amount of figures should be in proportion with the length of the text. We can accept digital images in color or grayscale, named using the author's name, figure number and file extension (Smith_Fig_1.tif). TIFF or JPEG format with at least 300 dpi is recommended. Please ensure you named your files correctly.
