Annual Review of Anthropology

Last updated

History

In the late 1950s, anthropologist Bernard J. Siegel received a grant from the National Science Foundation to establish an anthropology journal that published review articles surveying recent developments in the field. [3] Stanford University Press published the first volume Biennial Review of Anthropology in 1959. [4] Siegel was the editor of the journal. By the publication of the third volume of the journal Siegel was approached by psychologist Ernest R. Hilgard, member of the board of directors of Annual Reviews, about publishing the journal with them instead of Stanford University Press. Siegel was initially resistant, though eventually saw the advantages of switching publishers. [3] The Biennial Review of Anthropology released seven volumes in total through 1971. [4]

Beginning in 1972, the project was assumed by the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews, [4] with Siegel remaining as editor. [3] The format changed to annual publication instead of every other year, with the title changed to Annual Review of Anthropology. It became the second journal title in the social sciences published by Annual Reviews, after the Annual Review of Psychology was first released in 1950. [5] Starting with the second volume, it included prefatory chapters where prominent anthropologists reflected on their careers. [3] The twenty-fifth volume, published in 1996, marked the first time that the journal was published electronically. [6]

Scope and indexing

It defines its scope as covering significant developments in the field of anthropology; it covers subfields like archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistics, international and regional anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. [7] As of 2023, according to Journal Citation Reports , the journal has an impact factor of 2.8, ranking it ninth out of 91 journals in the category "Anthropology". [1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, IBZ Online, Anthropological Literature, and Academic Search, among others. [8]

Editorial processes

The Annual Review of Anthropology is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors. [9] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee. [10]

Editors of volumes

Dates indicate publication years in which someone was credited as a lead editor or co-editor of a journal volume. The planning process for a volume begins well before the volume appears, so appointment to the position of lead editor generally occurred prior to the first year shown here. An editor who has retired or died may be credited as a lead editor of a volume that they helped to plan, even if it is published after their retirement or death.

Current editorial committee

As of 2022, the editorial committee consists of the co-editors and the following members: [16]

  • Zoë Crossland
  • Tine M. Gammeltoft
  • Graham M. Jones
  • Eduardo Góes Neves
