The American Academy of Arts & Sciences and The MIT Press have announced that Dædalus, Journal of the American Academy, will now be an open access publication. The MIT Press has published Dædalus on behalf of the Academy since 2003. Years of volumes and hundreds of essays previously behind a paywall have been ungated and made freely available.
First published in 1955 and established as a quarterly journal in 1958, Dædalus has addressed a wide and multidisciplinary range of subjects over the years. Topics explored in recent issues include climate change, access to justice, and ethics, technology, and war; the current issue looks at the versatile literary form of the novel. Essays are written by leading scholars and practitioners sharing their expertise and insights across a range of disciplines.
A recognised leader in open access book and journal publishing, The MIT Press has partnered with a wide range of societies, libraries, and foundations to make access to scholarship more open and equitable.
Dædalus essays and issues – with links to related Academy projects – are available through the American Academy’s website; issues published from 2003 to the present are also accessible through The MIT Press.
