The duties and responsibilities of editors, authors, and reviewers are outlined here.
The Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage is published four times a year.
Manuscripts covering any aspect of astronomical history and heritage are welcome, including those placing astronomy in a cultural, social, economic, and historical context.
There are no page charges and no access fees.
All contributions must be written in English, in 13px Arial, with single-spaced text that is left and right justified.
Manuscripts submitted with poor English writing will be rejected. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure the text, grammar, and flow are suitable for a professional academic journal. Editors WILL NOT work to substantially improve the writing of a submitted manuscript.
Unfortunately, we cannot publish manuscripts in another language, but authors can also list the titles of papers and abstracts in other languages (as well as in English), provided it is done professionally by a fluent speaker. Do not use online or Google translators to translate titles or text from English to another language.
We encourage abstracts in Indigenous languages related to the manuscript, if applicable. For example, if the manuscript is focused on the Kamilaroi Aboriginal people of Australia, an abstract and title may also be provided in the Kamilaroi language, which can be included in the final paper. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to ensure the translation is correct.
