Studia Celtica: The Bulletin of the Board of Celtic Studies will be published initially as one volume per annum, commencing with Volume XXVIII (1994), as a continuation of the series number of Studia Celtica.

 General policy

Studia Celtica is published once yearly by the University of Wales Press on behalf of the Board of Celtic Studies of the University of Wales. It contains articles in English and in Welsh selected for their significance in the field of Celtic studies.

 Copyright in articles and reviews in Studia Celtica in printed and electronic forms will be retained by the University of Wales, but reasonable requests by authors to republish Studia Celtica material elsewhere will normally be approved. Authors receive fifteen offprints of each article and have the right to reproduce their own contributions by photocopying provided that copies are not offered for sale.

Contributors should submit two copies of their work to the appropriate Editor as listed above. The Editors will notify authors as soon as possible whether or not their submission has been accepted for publication. In general, articles should not exceed 10,000 words.
