Instructions for Authors
Prior to submission, authors are encouraged to read the ‘Instructions for Authors’. When submitting via the website, you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. A revised document is uploaded the same way as the initial submission. The system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing purposes. All correspondence, including the editor’s request for revision and final decision, is sent by e-mail.
Double-blinded Peer Review All papers submitted to PHRO are reviewed by the Editors; they may, in addition, be submitted for review to external referees. In respect of these referees, PHRO uses a double-blind peer review system, which means that the manuscript author(s) do not know who the reviewers are and the reviewers do not know the names of the author(s). When you submit your article via Editorial Manager, you will be asked to submit a separate title page which includes the full title of the manuscript plus the names and complete contact details of all authors. This page will not be accessible to referees. 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.
Contact Address For any questions or problems relating to your manuscript please contact the Managing Editor, Dr Alexander Long, [email protected]. For technical questions about Editorial Manager, authors can also contact the Brill EM Support Department at: [email protected].
Book Reviews Phronesis does not carry book reviews, but books sent to the journal may be included in the regular series of Book Notes. Publishers should contact Professor Ursula Coope, [email protected]
Submission Requirements
Unicode Fonts and Non-Roman Scripts Texts should employ Unicode fonts as far as possible. If your article contains non-Roman scripts (e.g., Greek) please also submit a pdf file in which all non-Roman characters are displayed correctly. For more information on handling non-Roman scripts, please also see: brill.com/page/fonts/fonts-scripts-and- unicode. All fonts must be embedded.

Instructions for Authors
References in footnotes or in the text should take the following shortened form (author-date): Surname 2021, 1–3; Surname 2021, 1 n. 1 (no comma before n.) Two authors/editors: Surname and Surname 2010; three or more: Surname et al. 2021. Use an en dash, not a hyphen, between numbers.
Ancient Authors Names of ancient authors should always be provided in full. Abbreviated titles of ancient works are permitted, but both the full title and the abbreviation should be provided when the work is first cited. The abbreviations in Liddell-Scott-Jones and the Oxford Latin Dictionary are recommended. Use en dash, not hyphen: Plato, Phaedo 72a1–b2. Do not use ‘ff.’ or ‘f.’ (Plato, Phaedo 72aff.) Only Arabic numbers should be used.
Quotations of Modern Works, Greek and Latin Single quotation marks should be used for quotations of modern works and translations. But if a quotation is of sufficient length to be set off from the text (a block quotation), quotation marks should not be used. Indent block quotations and separate them from the preceding and following text with blank lines. If a block quotation is of an ancient text, both the original Greek or Latin and a translation should normally be included (text and translation separated by a white line, or one of them added in a footnote). Quotations of Latin should be in italics, except in block quotations. Quotations of Greek should not be in italics. Use bold type to emphasize words in ancient Greek or Latin. Do not mark Greek or Latin quotations with quotation marks.
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. 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 to the Managing Editor.

Instructions for Authors
E-Offprints A PDF file of the article will be supplied free of charge by the publisher to authors for personal use. Brill is a RoMEO yellow publisher. For authors who do not use e-mail, paper copies of the pdf will be sent. The Author retains the right to self-archive the submitted (pre-peer-review) version of the article at any time. The submitted version of an article is the author's version that has not been peer-reviewed, nor had any value added to it by Brill (such as formatting or copy editing). The Author retains the right to self- archive the accepted (peer-reviewed) version without any embargo period. The accepted version means the version which has been accepted for publication and contains all revisions made after peer reviewing and copy editing, but has not yet been typeset in the publisher’s lay-out. The publisher’s lay- out must not be used in any repository or on any website (brill.com/page/RightsPermissions/rights-and- permissions).
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 which will be sent with the first proofs of the manuscript.
Open Access Should the author wish to publish the article in Open Access he/she can choose the Brill Open option. This allows for non-exclusive Open Access publication under a Creative Commons license in exchange for an Article Publication Charge (APC), upon signing a special Brill Open Consent to Publish Form. More information on Brill Open can be found on brill.com/brillopen. There are also a number of institutional Open Access agreements with universities in the Netherlands, the UK and Austria. Brill publishes articles by affiliated authors in open access, at no cost to the author.
