MKS is a peer-reviewed series with an advisory board of international renowned scholars, and from 2018 has been indexed by Scopus/Elsevier. MKS is published by Golden House Publications and distributed worldwide. The series encompasses all aspects of the Middle Bronze Age in Egypt, 2050-1550 BC.
MKS has two aims: to provide, within a focussed editorial structure, new directions and impetus for the Middle Kingdom research; and to create a discussion space for both established and emerging scholars, who wish to publish new ideas, research, and findings relating to this period. The series also aims to go beyond a geographical segmentation of ancient history of Egypt, opening the field beyond its geographical borders, encouraging the submission of studies on Nubian, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern topics relating to thae Middle Kingdom timeframe, and to Egypt.
