The name of the journal is inspired by its intended purpose, ‘Ars Nummorum et Eorum Fontium’ (trns: Study of Coins and their Sources). This encapsulates the vision of the journal, namely to provide an avenue for the furthering of research relating to ancient and medieval numismatics and sigillography. The motto of the ANF is inspired by a quote from the Venerable Bede, reflecting back upon his life at the completion of his Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum. There Bede stated “semper aut discere aut docere aut scribere dulce habui” (trns: always have I held it delightful to learn, teach, or write). We must concur with this noble sentiment, and have taken it to heart as the motto for the ANF: Semper aut Discere aut Docere aut Scribere Ama (trns: always love to learn, teach, or write). With the inception of this new organization and journal, we seek to find those who embody these values in order that a love of learning and teaching might be propagated.
The ANF journals will be published with both DOI and ISSN certification. Articles in the journal thus will be integrated into the widely used systems of identification in academia, creating an environment for authors to build and maintain credibility through established means of publication. What makes the ANF stand out from existing accredited journals is the dual focus on publishing through traditional channels while also giving authors full and open use of their work. Many current publications require a 2-5 year abstinence in the reproduction of an article by its author after publication in the journal, if ever returning reproduction ownership. Unlike existing journals, the ANF will not retain exclusive usage or reproduction rights to articles. Thus, any author who publishes with the ANF is free to likewise distribute their work at will after publication date, including archive websites such as Academia.edu! Beyond the ANF bi yearly journal, future possibilities include publication of long form monographs and books. The journal will be in conjunction with the ancient coin marketplace L5. Support from L5 will include promotion of the journal in media communications, managing the physical printing of the journals, and similar aids.
