<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2702895, member: 44316&quot;]Academics want and need publications in journals accepted as credible by their department&#039;s promotion and tenure committee. <i>The Celator</i> (which I published in many times) did not satisfy the criterion (and I didn&#039;t mention those articles on my academic CV).</p><p><br /></p><p>The trick to serious academic publication is it is supposed to be both new (even to scholars), make a significant contribution, and, in addition, acknowledge, cite, and summarize relevant preceding scholarly work by others. There are many interesting potential articles that would not meet those criteria.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are quite a few scholarly journals that accept articles on ancient coins. The topics they consider are very broad. If someone has a contribution to scholarship to make, there is lots of room in journals devoted to scholarship.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone has something worthwhile to say that is not scholarship, he/she can make a website on it. You have all had a chance to see mine:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/</a></p><p>Some of those pages have more work in them than some academic articles, but none add to scholarship. I recently completed articles on the quinarius and argenteus denominations, and before that one on how scholars assign dates to Roman Republican coins. Perhaps they are interesting to CoinTalk members, but they would not qualify as something a university department would credit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
