Contributions are expected to be written in such a way as to be intelligible and appeal to the broad interdisciplinary readership of the journal, while also presenting original, cutting-edge research in the individual specialist fields.

The Papers is edited by the Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters of the Council of the BSR, and is a refereed journal.
