The Indiana University at Bloomington Libraries group has announced the publication of its first open-access online journal, Museum Anthropology Review. The journal was founded and is edited by Jason Baird Jackson, an ethnographer at the university. He also is the editor of the journal Museum Anthropology, which is published by the American Anthropological Association and Wiley-Blackwell.
Mr. Jackson said it was particularly important for scholars in fields like folklore and anthropology to disseminate their research in open-access journals so that the research subjects, their families, and their communities can read what has been written about them.—Andrea L. Foster
