However, authors cannot use RCUK funding (the APC block grants) to pay for the Current Anthropology open access fee. This does not mean that an author subject to compliance with the RCUK policy cannot take advantage of the Gold Open Access option.

If you elect the Gold Open Access option and your manuscript is accepted for publication, the journal office will send you a form with payment options and instructions.Īuthors should note that this option is not compliant with the Research Councils UK (RCUK) mandated Gold option for open access because the University of Chicago Press does not allow commercial reuse without prior approval. When you submit your manuscript online, you will be presented with the option to make it Gold Open Access. There is a fee of US$1500 for Gold Open Access.

Open access is not a requirement for publishing in Current Anthropology and, if accepted and no open access option is desired, the article will be published in the normal fashion. If you have any questions about open access, please contact. The Green Open Access option allows authors to place the final accepted manuscript in a non-commercial open access repository if required by a funding agency or after a 12-month embargo period. The Gold Open Access option makes the electronic version of an article freely available to the public (“free access” or “open access”) as soon as it is published online. The journal also publishes research reports, book and film reviews, forums, and discussion items.Ĭurrent Anthropology and the University of Chicago Press provide two open access options. To this end, all major articles undergo the CA☆ treatment: commentators, selected from around the world, write critiques that appear in the same issue as the article, along with a reply from the author. It therefore makes a strong commitment to a comprehensive view of anthropology and provides a forum for active scholarly critique as a major means by which to achieve this view. The journal defines such research in the broadest possible way: to encompass all scholarship on human cultures and on the human, or closely related, species.
