All other submissions from the specific author will then be under scrutiny of plagiarism as well. The Journal follows the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines for retractions (https://doi.org/10.24318/cope.2019.1.4).

Authors are charged neither for submission nor for publication. Authors are allowed to reproduce and distribute their submission, and to authorize others to reproduce and distribute the submission in any format. They are allowed to include the submission, in whole or in part, in another work. However, if the author distributes the submission on another website or in another publication, the New England Classical Journal must be cited as the source of first publication. Submissions to the Journal cannot have been previously published. Anyone with questions about attribution, usage policies, or exceptions should contact the Editor at aseider@holycross.edu.
