(via Moving Anthropology Student Network) Another new anthropology journal and of course with open access for everybody: Omertaa, journal for Applied Anthropology. It was launched in January 2007 and is an international peer reviewed journal, associated with the organisation Expeditions, Research in Applied Anthropology.
The goals of the Omertaa journal are:
* To be a forum for anthropologists working in- and outside universities.
* To encourage a bridge between practice inside and outside the university
* To explore the use of anthropology in policy research and implementation.
* To serve as a forum for inquiry into the present state and future of anthropology in general.
As Sam Janssen explains in the introduction of the first volume: One of the main objectives of the journal is, to bring the knowledge and craftmanship of social and cultural anthropology back where it should come from: the field.
It seems to be a journal in the making. As of today, their editorial board only consists of two people. Marc Vanlangendonck is the Chied Editor.
The first volume is based on field research on Gozo, the sister island of Malta. The second volume will be about"Development work and the anthropological focus".
