Berghahn Open Access

Berghahn Books supports practical open access policies that help make scholarship available to a broader audience in a sustainable way.

In addition to offering gold open access options that uphold publication mandates instituted by our authors' funding partners, we also participate in initiatives, such as Knowledge Unlatched, which provide collective funding opportunities for selected titles.

Additional information regarding our open access policies can be found here, under the “Open Access” tab. If open access status is required for your publication, please contact your Berghahn editor.

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:
