ISSN 1448 - 1421

What is Iris?

Iris is the journal of the Classical Association of Victoria. The New Series of the journal was founded in 1988. The Journal Editor is Mr. John L. Penwill of La Trobe University, Bendigo. The Assistant Editor is Dr. Heather M. Jackson, postdoctoral fellow at the University of Melbourne. The Honorary Secretary is Dr. K.O. Chong-Gossard, lecturer at the University of Melbourne. Iris is published with the support of the Muriel P. Blackwood Memorial Fund.

What is in Iris?

The most recent issue (Volume 20, 2007) was distributed in June 2008. It included both a refereed section and a non-refereed section.

Iris is now a refereed publication. This means that articles published in the refereed section undergo a peer review process. This involves assessment of the publication in its entirety (not merely an abstract or extract), before publication, and by appropriately independent, qualified experts. Independent in this context means independent of the author.

How do I contribute to Iris?

Persons interested into submitting articles or letters to the journal should send them to either the Journal Editor (John Penwil) or the Honorary Secretary (K.O. Chong-Gossard). Contributors should state whether they wish their article to be refereed or not. There are no specific guidelines for style, although the journal tends to use the SymbolGreek font to print Greek text.
