What is The Aurantiaco?
The Aurantiaco is an undergraduate academic journal that publishes written work in the humanities and social sciences. This includes the following fields: economics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, fine arts, architecture, literature, history, geography, philosophy, religion, political science, and political theory.
Who can submit?
Any undergraduate student at Clemson University is eligible to submit. If you have already graduated, you can still submit as long as the piece was written during your undergraduate years.
What are the guidelines for written work that The Aurantiaco considers for publication?
We seek to publish high-level academic work in the social sciences and humanities. We are happy to work with shorter essays or full thesis papers, although submissions will be edited down to a length of 6-10 pages, double-spaced.
What is the timeline for publication in The Aurantiaco?
We accept pieces year-round, but the editing process takes place from November through February. As pieces are evaluated and edited during those months, authors will hear a final answer on whether their piece has been selected by the end of March. The complete paper edition will be published in mid-April.
What is the editing process?
After a piece has been submitted, an editor from our team will be assigned to the piece. That editor will reach out to the author, and they will collaborate to refine the piece. Once editing is done, the Submissions Editor and Editor-in-Chief will compile the final list of pieces included in the final edition of the journal.
