Starting with Volume 30, Berghahn Journals will be the new publisher of Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale, the journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists. The journal will be leaving Wiley to embark on becoming a fully open access journal as a part of the Berghahn Open Anthro – Subscribe to Open (S2O) initiative, which will enter its third year in 2022.
As one of the top journals in its field, the addition of Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale to the Berghahn Open Anthro collection reinforces the benefits of S2O, an ever-strengthening model that provides equitable open access through the ongoing support from the library community.
With the anthropology discipline’s enthusiastic support for open access and Berghahn’s current success with the Berghahn Open Anthro pilot, EASA and Berghahn’s partnership reflects the common goal of finding a sustainable and equitable solution for publisher, society, and researcher.
Berghahn Open Anthro was conceived and implemented in partnership with Libraria, who will continue to work closely with Berghahn in transitioning Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale to open access. Knowledge Unlatched will also continue to provide support in introducing the collection to libraries across the spectrum.
