Social Anthropology's new submission portal
EASA's journal is moving from Wiley to Berghahn. All those wishing to submit new articles should not use the ScholarOne system on Wiley's site, but instead go to this new portal.

Publishing with us

Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale is the journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA). Like the association, the journal strives to facilitate exchange and debate among anthropologists, and between academia and the wider world. The editorial team and the advisory board envision SA/AS to be a platform hosting interventions into any debate that animates current anthropology and that contours its possible futures. To that end, the journal accommodates a variety of formats, from stand-alone research articles over special issues all the way to review articles and book reviews. In order to foster lively, discipline-defining exchanges, the editorial team now also welcomes themed sections and debates.

Across all these publication formats, the journal is committed to cutting edge research. Successful research articles - either stand-alone or parts of collections - build on fieldwork in all parts of the world, pursuing any conceivable modality of research. They develop rich data sets into ambitious and theoretically innovative interventions into current or classic debates. To secure academic rigour as well as innovative character of all output, the journal makes full use of a double-blind peer review system. Publication projects are overseen by an enthusiastic editorial team, bringing diverse expertise, regional affiliations and career stages to the journal, supported by dedicated staff at Berghahn.

The journal is fully committed to inclusive approaches and pushes these on all levels. That means that we actively seek to diversify the group of authors and reviewers in terms of gender, geographical location, affiliation or career stage. It also means that the journal is now fully open access (OA), making all its articles accessible to everyone.


About the journal

SA/AS (ISSN 0964-0282) appears four times a year (in February, June, September and November) with four parts forming a volume.

SA/AS publishes articles in English and French which are selected by a process of peer review. Selection is anonymous and based solely on a manuscripts' innovative interest to the theory, methodology and / or practice of anthropology. The journal has been ranked category A in the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH). The articles are complemented by book reviews, and successive reviews editors have taken especial care to match books and reviewers across European boundaries.

The journal was published by Wiley Blackwell Publishing from 2007-2021 and moved to Berghahn in 2022. The journal has achieved subscription status at all major University Libraries in Europe, North America, and most of Australasia. Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale is the most widely circulated anthropological journal of European provenance.

Scope
