<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 2694288, member: 78411&quot;]Hey Everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m interested to hear your opinions about starting an annually published peer-reviewed journal for all branches of classical <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1670" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1670" rel="nofollow">numismatics</a> and related topics (iconography, economics, etc.). It would be an&nbsp; “independently” peer reviewed journal, which means those submitting manuscripts would be responsible for seeking out colleagues to review the <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=work" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=work" rel="nofollow">work</a> before it is submitted for publication (and providing evidence they did this); though I would like to establish an editorial board with one expert from each of the major branches who are available for consultation by the general editor upon request.&nbsp; It would be a print journal, even if that sounds like a terrible idea in the “digital age”.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My original thought was to publish in English, but now I’m thinking it would be open to any language provided there is an English abstract.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tentative Journal Title: <i><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=koinon" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=koinon" rel="nofollow">Koinon</a>: International Journal of Classical <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=numismatic%20studies" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=numismatic%20studies" rel="nofollow">Numismatic Studies</a></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Tentative Editorial Board Positions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Archaic Greek Coinage</p><p>Classical Greek Coinage </p><p>Hellenistic Greek Coinage</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=107" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=107" rel="nofollow">Roman Republican</a> Coinage</p><p>Roman <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=108&amp;pos=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=108&amp;pos=0" rel="nofollow">Imperatorial</a> Coinage</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1830" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1830" rel="nofollow">Roman Imperial Coinage</a></p><p>Late Roman Coinage</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=529" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=529" rel="nofollow">Roman Provincial</a> Coinage</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=99&amp;pos=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=99&amp;pos=0" rel="nofollow">Byzantine</a> Coinage</p><p>Early <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1288" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?vpar=1288" rel="nofollow">Islamic</a> Coinage</p><p>Oriental Greek Coinage</p><p>Central Asian Coinage</p><p>East Asian Coinage</p><p>Dark Ages</p><p>Medieval</p><p>Exonummia</p><p><br /></p><p>My vision is that the journal is published yearly as a hard cover book with a corresponding PDF e-book made available for free to the world after one year from the date of release of the print book.&nbsp; I would take orders as the journal nears completion and print only what is needed (plus a few presentation copies for the inaugural issue).&nbsp; I may or may not seek an outside firm to cover publication costs and distribution, depending on how popular it is. The ultimate purpose of the journal is to give collectors and scholars another avenue to publish their findings outside of the traditional journals produced by the major numismatic societies around the world.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think?&nbsp; Any suggestions are appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
