American Studies (AMSJ) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal which covers issues broadly concerning American culture, history, literature, and politics through international perspectives. [1] The journal is sponsored by the Mid-America American Studies Association, the University of Kansas, and the University of Minnesota. [2] The American Studies editorial board is made up of 46 members from 38 institutions in 7 countries.
The American Studies journal was first published in 1959 under its original name, the Journal of the Central Mississippi Valley American Studies Association. In 1962, it became known as the Midcontinent American Studies Journal. [3] Since 1971, the journal has been called American Studies and has been published by the ASA's regional chapter, the Mid-America American Studies Association. In 2005, the tri-annual journal became a quarterly publication. This was in part due to a merger with American Studies International (ASI), which ceased publication in 2004, and marked a commitment to internationalizing the editorial board and increasing the presence of scholarship produced outside the United States, as well as a commitment to continue the teaching-focused features that had been sustained by ASI.
In 2005, the journal merged with American Studies International. [4] In 2022, a partnership with the Department of American Studies at the University of Minnesota was formed. The editorial staff includes: editors-in-chief Sherrie Tucker and Christopher Perreira. In 2020, American Studies revamped the journal's blog as Dialogues: Blog of the American StudiesJournal, which has been edited by Nishani Frazier since 2022.
American Studies is one of the top journals in the field, with a U.S. circulation of roughly 1,200 and an international circulation averaging around 500. The journal is available open-source, with a rolling embargo of 3 years. The journal is available in full text through the following databases: JSTOR, Project Muse, ProQuest, and EBSCO. American Studies uses a double-anonymous peer-review process. Each submission that moves through the process is typically sent to three readers: two from the editorial board and one specialist. AMSJ's acceptance rate is approximately 25%.
Each year, American Studies publishes a special issue that concerns a single theme of interest in the field and is managed by a guest editor or a team of editors.
