About the Journal
Aims and Scope of the Journal
Since 1995, the content profile of the journal has been defined by topics related to the broadly understood literature, language, history, art and philosophy of the ancient world, as well as the reception of antiquity in modern culture.
The journal publishes scientific articles concerning the culture of ancient Greece and Rome, Greek and Latin-language texts, including Christian literature, which was created in Poland and other European countries during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance or the Baroque period.
Our periodical additionally publishes translations of Greek and Latin literature into Polish.
The articles in each issue are assigned into three areas: Hellenism, Latin studies and reception of antiquity in modern culture. Research papers could be divided according to other criteria depending on the thematic scope of a given volume (e.g. literature, linguistics, philosophy, history and art).
Our purpose is to integrate the community interested in the field of antiquity. The journal publishes works of established researchers, as well as younger academics.
Collectanea is aimed at an international audience. All articles and reviews have English-language abstracts and keywords added to the metadata in other languages.
Publication languages are Polish, English, Italian, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Latin.
The Editorial and Scientific Board consist of renowned professors representing Polish and foreign research centres.
Articles are supplemented with short, English-language biographies of the authors, which helps to build up the recognisability of researchers and fosters contacts with colleagues from Poland and abroad.
Collectanea Philologica publishes only peer-reviewed original research. The journal follows double-blind review guidelines (see: policy regarding peer-review).
The issues are available in both printed and electronic formats.

Practical information, important dates
The journal is published once a year in digitised form in November/December. Articles for subsequent volumes are collected by the end of December of each year preceding the journal volume (e.g. if you wish to publish an article in 2024, you must send the required set of papers by the end of December 2023). Any changes to dates must be agreed in advance with the Editor. The topics for the next volume are always announced on the journal's page at CfP. The waiting period for confirmation of acceptance of an article by the Editor and for reviews may vary and depends on the time of receipt of the article, the period necessary to check the completeness of the documents and the author's fulfilment of the publication standards adopted by the journal, as well as the subject matter of the text and the availability of reviewers. The average waiting time for an Editor's decision can be up to 1 month and for reviews between 3 and 5 months.
