Open access academic journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford (JASO) is a peer-reviewed academic journal of anthropology that was established in 1970.[1] Publishing the print edition was discontinued in 2000 and in 2009 the journal was re-launched as an open access online journal without publishing fees (diamond open access). All the back-issues and occasional papers are available online. For many years the editor-in-chief was Bob Parkin who has also written about the history of the journal.[2] Malcolm Chapman also discusses the history in his introduction to Edwin Ardener's essays.[3]
