Berghahn Open Anthropology
In partnership with Libraria
Berghahn Open Anthro is a subscribe-to-open model being piloted by Berghahn Books in partnership with Libraria, a group of researchers who are also supporting a number of other publishers hoping to adopt this model should the pilot prove successful.
This model was developed in part through a 2019 ground-breaking collaborative meeting between publishers, libraries, funders, and OA experts that was held at MIT. BOA-S2O is in its third year and has added a new journal, Social Anthropology, in 2022.
Researchers can support the BOA-S2O initiative by contacting their libraries directly or filling out a recommendation form.
For more details, please read our Frequently Asked Questions.
The 2022 collection includes the following 14 journals:
Open Access Journals
Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
Anthropological Journal of European Cultures
Anthropology of the Middle East
The Cambridge Journal of Anthropology
Conflict and Society
Durkheimian Studies
Environment and Society
