The instructions in this section should be followed when submitting an articleto HSCP . It is not necessary for the initial submission to comply with the StyleGuide and Bibliography Format below, but if the article is accepted, the authorwill be responsible for revising to conform to the HSCP style. For guidance onmatters not treated below, contributors are urged to contact the ProductionEditor or consult the Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition). HSCP uses a slightlymodified version of Chicagos reference list format.

FormatPDF or word processor files (Microsoft Word document or RTF format) areacceptable. PDF format avoids most of the problems caused by incompatiblefonts, but if the article is accepted, an editable electronic version will be

required. Authors are expected to keep up-to-date copies of their submissions.

FontsPlease use a Unicode font (e.g. New Athena Unicode, Gentium, and Vusillus/Antioch). Unicode has become the encoding standard for all languages, and hasbeen supported in Word for Mac since 2004 and earlier in Word for Windows.Other word processors, such as OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Pages, and Mellel, allsupport Unicode fonts. HSCP can try to convert older Greek fonts, but if thatfails, the author is responsible for updating Greek or anything else outside ofthe western roman character set to a Unicode font. For more information, seeClassics tech support at http://isites.harvard.edu/k52882 .

Citations

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all citations, which should beverified before manuscripts are submitted. Please indicate which editions ofancient texts you have used. If HSCP copyeditors find mistakes in quoted textsduring production, the author will be required to offset the cost of copyediting.

Manuscript Preparation

ImagesLine drawings and photographs should sent as separate digital filesindependent of the text. These may be of lower quality for the initialsubmission, but if an article is accepted, the author will be responsible forsupplying high-quality digital images and for obtaining permission to

reproduce them.PermissionsWhen sending the final version of an accepted article, authors should provideHSCP with a copy of any permissions and include the following information:

1. how the copyright holder wants to be credited;2. whether the caption must read a particular way;3. whether the permission requires that a copy of the volume be given to the

copyright holder.

Format, size, resolutionTIFF is the preferred format. JPEG is a lossy format, but may print adequatelyif the resolution is sufficiently high.Images to be printed must be at a high resolution; 600 dpi is a good default. 300

dpi is the minimum if the image is to be printed at current size or smaller. If theimage is to be enlarged, the resolution must be higher.When preparing images that include text, such as maps, please bear in mindthat they may need to be reduced to fit the 4 by 6.5 inches of usable space (thetext block) on the HSCP pagea space which must also include any caption,headings, vel sim.and that any text within the image will shrinkcorrespondingly. For example, a map prepared to print on 8.5-by-11 in. paperwith 12-point type will become illegible when reduced to fit theHSCP textblock. If there is text within the image, it should be sized to allow for shrinkageif the image as a whole is reduced. If possible, send a extra copy of the imagewithout text so that we can add the text at an appropriate size during layout.

Style Guide

PunctuationSpace : Please do not use double spaces between sentences. Double returnsbetween paragraphs should only be used to set off blockquotes (see below).Use tabs, not spaces, to align text vertically, if necessary, or use a table.Comma : HSCP uses the Oxford comma; i.e, a comma is used after each memberof a series except the last, e.g. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and/or Euripides.En-dash : normally longer than a hyphen; used for inclusive number rangessuch as pages and years. Usually option (or alt)-hyphen on the computer. If youcannot type an en-dash, use two unspaced hyphens and we will convert them.Em-dash : longer than an en-dash; used for sudden breaks in a sentence, ofteneither side of a nearly parenthetical remark or aside. Usually option (or alt)-

shift-hyphen. If you cannot type an em-dash, use three unspaced hyphens.Three em-dashes, unspaced, are used in bibliographies for additional works bythe same author(s) or editors(s). This would equal nine, unspaced hyphens.Double quotes : enclose direct quotations that are not set off from thesurrounding text. For more on quotations, see below.Double quotes are also used around article titles.

Note: commas and periods are placed inside end quotes even if they are not part ofthe quotation; colons and semicolons are always outside.Single quotes : used within double quotes for a quotation within a quotation.Single quotes are also used for glosses, but with any punctuation outside.Square brackets : used inside parentheses instead of another set ofparentheses.

Ellipsis : A space should precede the ellipsis, unless it begins a sentence. Aspace should follow the ellipsis, unless it ends the sentence or is followed byother punctuation. A 3-dot ellipsis ending a sentence does not need to befollowed by an additional period;HSCP does not use the 4-dot ellipsis.

AbbreviationsAcademic abbreviations are not italicized: ca., e.g., i.e., s.v., cf., ad loc.But ad and sic are normally italicized to contrast with surrounding words.Names of ancient authors and titles of works may be abbreviated, butHSCP encourages writing in full for the sake of accessibility. If abbreviating,please follow the Oxford Classical Dictionary (3rd edition).f. and # . are to be avoided. Follow the example Segal 1994:3435 notSegal 1994:34f.Line numbers should not be preceded by l. and ll. (or v. or vv. forpoetry); use plain numbers or write out line or lines. Exx: there follows alengthy section in anapests (124146); in lines 43-46 Pindar develops the

image further.BC/AD or BCE/CE are set as full-size (not small) caps, without periods or spacebetween the letters. Please use one system consistently. In the course of normalprose, century should be written in full; if you abbreviate it, please use c.Circa is abbreviated ca.

QuotationsShort quotations within the text of the article should be given as follows:

! Greek: not italicized, without quotation marks! Latin: italicized, without quotation marks! Modern languages: not italicized, with quotation marks. Double quotation

marks should be used, except within another set of quotation marks, wheresingle quotation marks should be used (see Punctuation above).

Quotations of more than three lines of verse or five of prose should be set off asblockquotes with space above and below (they will be printed with insetmargins as well); shorter quotations may also be set as blockquotes, if desired.They are always in roman type without quotation marks.

Style Guide

Non-English words and phrasesIsolated non-English words and phrases (i.e. those that are not quotations)should be set in italics without quotation marks. Words that have become fullynaturalized in English (e.g. rsum or imprimatur) are treated as English.

Greek transliterationGreek words and very short phrases may be given in transliteration, if they arereadily recognizable to readers. Transliterated Greek should be set in italicswithout quotation marks. Diacritics are not normally used except macrons.

NumbersIn the flow of text, the cardinal numbers one through ten should be writtenas words, as should the corresponding ordinals (first, second, etc.).Numbers greater than ten are normally given as numerals, but may bewritten as words, particularly in the case of multiples of ten (forty, onehundred) or when incongruity would result (e.g. the number of competitorsranged from eight to twelve rather than eight to 12). Deviation from thisgeneral rule may be appropriate in some contexts.

Do not superscript shortened forms of ordinals (e.g. 21st not 21st

).In number ranges , please give all numbers in full; do not shorten the secondnumber in the range, e.g. 225229 not 2259. This rule is easy to remember andunlikely to introduce errors. The separator is an en-dash (see above underPunctuation.)

ReferencesArabic numerals should be used whenever possible (except to avoid ambiguitywhen referring to pages numbered in Roman numerals). Volume numbers,however, are normally given in arabic numerals, even when the originalpublication prints them as Roman.

Ancient sourcesCitations may be written out or abbreviated (see Abbreviations above), e.g.CiceroOrator 168 or Cic.Orat . 168 (without commas). Only the first letter ofa Latin title is capitalized, including prepositions in the unabbreviated form ofworks such as De anima. English versions of titles may be used if well-known.

Numerical components of references should be separated by periods, withno space between the components, e.g. Horace Carmina 1.9.16.Letters that form part of a reference should not be separated by a spacefrom surrounding numerals: e.g. Arist. Metaph. 1087a29b4; PlatoRepublic 527A528C. Letters designating editions should be separated by a single space fromnumbers of lines or fragments, e.g. Ennius Annales 206207 S; Eur. fr. 1023 N2.

Modern sourcesPlease use the author-date citation system (e.g. Segal 1994:3435) in notesand include a bibliography following the HSCP bibliography format below.References to footnotes should be formatted as in 1998:37n51. The nshould have no space or dot after it. References to a volume of a work should take the form 1986: vol. 3, 125 In the course of prose, write outpage(s) or notes(s) e.g. on pages 250251; avoid p(p). and n(n).Abbreviated titles should follow the format HSCP not H.S.C .P. (nor HSCPh).Only titles of the most familiar journals should be abbreviated at all.

Components of a bibliography entryThe main components of the entry (i.e. author name, year of publication, title,place of publication) are normally separated by full stops, not commas.

Personal namesGiven names may be written in full or reduced to initials, but please be asconsistent as possible throughout the bibliography.

Bibliography Format

Two or more initials are separated by a space.Shackleton Bailey, D. R.

For works bytwo or more authors/editors , only the name of the first personis inverted (for the sake of alphabetization) and a comma follows the givenname (and/or initial[s]) of that person. Subsequent names are not inverted.

Alexiou, Margaret, and Vassilis Lambropoulos, eds.Titles and subtitlesTitles and subtitles in English are capitalized headline-style (the first, last,and all other major words are capitalized). This holds even for works in Englishthat were published in Europe, where sentence-style capitalization is common.

Alcman and the Cosmos of SpartaPublicans and Sinners: Private Enterprise in the Service of the Roman Republic

Titles and subtitles in other languages are capitalized sentence-style (thefirst word of the title and subtitle are capitalized; otherwise only words thatwould be capitalized in normal prose, such as proper names, are).

La biographie de lempereur Basile Ier Un romanzo agiografico del XII secolo: Gli scritti su Atina di Pietro Diacono di

Montecassino

The title and rst subtitle are separated by a colon. Archaeology and Philology: The Dirt and the Word

If there is a second subtitle , it is preceded by a semi-colon. Atina potens: Fonti per la storia di Atina e del suo territorio; Atti della tavola

rotonda in onore del prof. Herbert BlochSometimes an italicized title will include words, such as other titles, that alsorequire italicization. In such cases, use reverse italics. Note that this differsfrom the recommendation of the Chicago Manual.

VirgilsAeneid and the Tradition of Hellenistic PoetryOvidio e la poesia del mito: Saggi sulleMetamorfosi

Similarly, items that would normally be in double quotes may be part of a titlethat requires quotation marks of its own. In such cases, the internal set isconverted to single quotes.

A Note on the Alexander Mosaic NumbersInclusive number ranges (pages, years) are separated by en-dashes (seePunctuation above).In the bibliography, shortened forms of ordinals are used, e.g. 2nd ed.

Places of publicationThe English version of a place name should be used, if one exists.Turin [not Torino] and Munich [not Mnchen]

U.S. state abbreviations should be current postal abbreviations (e.g. MAnot Mass.), regardless of what appears in the original publication. Stateabbreviations are not needed after large, familiar city names (admittedly asubjective judgment), unless they are likely to be confused with a another city,e.g. Los Angeles but Cambridge, MA as opposed to Cambridge (England).If there are two or more places of publication , it is only necessary to givethe first. If, however, you wish to list them all, please do so in every instanceand format as follows Cambridge, MA, and London. Do not use ampersands,hyphens, or slashes to separate places of publication. Note the comma after thestate abbreviation.

SeriesNames of series are normally only necessary for monographs series of journals.Series names are not italicized. See below under Monograph in a series.For series of journals, see the Classical Quarterly example under Article, below.
