Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel (HeBAI)

Submission

Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel only publishes thematic issues. The editors solicit researchers to propose topics and to apply with a detailed draft for an issue (presentation of the topic, abstract of the planned articles), in which the diversity of the journal is considered. Presentations from thematic conferences can serve as a basis, but so can thematic issues compiled or written for HeBAI. Individual essays cannot usually be accepted. All articles undergo a double review process in collaboration with the guest editors.

Proposals and inquiries should be addressed to the Editorial Office (Dorothea von Böhlen, hebai@ev-theologie.uni-tuebingen.de). 

Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel is committed to promoting gender balance and diversity in scholarship. We actively encourage submissions from scholars of all genders, backgrounds, and career stages. Our editorial board strives for equitable representation, and we maintain transparent statistics on author demographics. The journal particularly welcomes contributions that incorporate diverse methodological approaches and perspectives from underrepresented voices in biblical studies. We ask our guest editors to include a diverse range of scholars with respect to gender, race, religion, and career stages. 

Acceptance for publication will be given in written form and is subject to the condition that the article contains original unpublished work and has not been submitted for publication elsewhere.

Regular publications in “closed access”
Exclusive copyright to articles is granted to Mohr Siebeck when they are accepted for publication in our journals. Mohr Siebeck has the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the contribution as well as to make it publicly accessible online. As the author, you retain the right to distribute the e-offprint of your contribution for private use (e.g., via e-mail), but not to make it accessible to the public, e.g., at any website, intranet, or repository.
For articles in journals, exclusivity falls away one year following publication. Correspondingly, you may then (a) reproduce and distribute a print version of your contribution; (b) grant another publisher non-exclusive permission to reprint an article following its publication with us; (c) make the print-identical version accessible online for non-commercial purposes only. In all cases, full reference is to be made to the original Mohr Siebeck publication and, for journal contributions where applicable, mention made of the article's DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

Authors may publish their article in open access under a Creative Commons license by paying an Article Processing Charge (APC) of EUR 1,500 (net).
When publishing an article in open access, authors grant the publisher Mohr Siebeck a simple right of use for the first publication.

The authors retain their exploitation rights and can freely use and distribute the article immediately after publication – whether for private use, distribution by email, or public access on websites, in repositories, or other digital platforms. The exact terms of use depend on the selected CC license.
