Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the benefits of submitting work and publishing in Anthós?
Anthós provides PSU Honors students the opportunity to engage with the academic publishing process through a student-run, faculty-reviewed academic journal committed to publishing excellent undergraduate scholarship. Aside from being an impressive addition to your CV or resume, it is a great chance to share your scholarly work with an audience beyond PSU, as Anthós is read around the world as an open-source journal.
- What kind of work does Anthós publish?
Anthós is seeking any original scholarly work produced by Portland State Honors College undergraduates. Being an interdisciplinary journal, we accept research and analysis in any field of study.
While we don’t typically publish summary-of-argument articles, we will consider any outstanding scholarly article done by Honors students, other than theses. As Honors theses are already published with PDX Scholar, Anthós will not publish them. For similar reasons, Anthós will not accept work already published with other journals.
For more information about formatting and submission, please visit our Submission Policies page, linked here.
- Can I submit creative writing to Anthós?
Because Anthós focuses on scholarly works, we do not publish creative writing. Portland State University students are encouraged to submit their creative pieces to Pathos, the PSU student-run literary magazine, linked here.
- Does Anthós accept simultaneous submissions (submitting the same work to multiple journals at the same time)?
If you choose to submit to Anthós, we ask that you refrain from submitting elsewhere until the Board has notified you of our decision. If your article is selected for publication and is published with Anthós, you will be expected to adhere to Anthós policy and not submit your published article for consideration elsewhere.
- Does Anthós accept multiple submissions from the same author?
Authors may only submit one work per issue, but are allowed to submit for subsequent issues. Anthós encourages authors to submit their best, most polished work for consideration.
- What should I expect once my paper is submitted?
Once submissions are received, authors will receive email confirmation and can expect to receive further communications from editors about next steps in the process. The Board will ask authors to revise their articles according to feedback from reviewers prior to publication. For more information, please refer to our Submission Policies page, linked here.
- What does single-anonymized review mean?
As a part of the editorial process, articles will be sent to an anonymous reviewer within the article’s discipline who will then provide their recommendation and feedback. Because faculty may know the author from working with them in class, students are not entirely anonymous to the reviewer.
For more information on our single-anonymized review process, please refer to the section on our Submission Policies page, linked here.
- Can I publish my article elsewhere after being accepted by Anthós?
No. If you publish with Anthós, it is expected you will not submit your article elsewhere. Most academic journals will not accept works published elsewhere, as it causes logistical and ethical difficulties. Authors still have ownership of the content of their work. Please see our Creative Commons and Open Access information, linked here, and our Submission Policies, linked here.
- What rights do I retain as the author?
Authors retain ownership of their published works. Anthós uses the Creative Commons Attribution license. For more information, please see our Creative Commons and Open Access information, linked here.
