Open Access: Anthropological Notebooks - journal of the Slovenian Anthropological Society

For some reason this journal has hardly been mentioned on anthropology blogs. But Anthropology Notebooks is actually one of the few serious traditional anthropology journals with free access to all articles for everybody (from 2005). And it is an expanding journal: While promising recent open access initiatives like After Culture have shut down, Anthropology Notebooks has started publishing three issues instead of one issue per year.

The journal has an international editorial board, it is peer reviewed, and it is abstracted and indexed in international bibliographic databases. All articles are in English.

The most recent issue was published a few weeks ago and is about Contributions to Anthropology of Tourism. Example: Emilio Cocco: Performing Maritime Imperial Legacies: Tourism and Cosmopolitanism in Odessa and Trieste

A quick look revealed a wide rage of topics and locations, we find articles like:

László Kürti: East and West: The scholarly divide in anthropology

Johan Wedel: Bridging the Gap between Western and Indigenous Medicine in Eastern Nicaragua

Andrej Rus: ’Gift vs. commoditiy’ debate revisited

Urška Rajgelj: Does Family Policy Affect Decisions to Become a Parent? Case examples
