Archaeology International, produced annually, combines news about UCL Institute of Archaeology activities with reports on research, both on new and on-going projects, carried out by members of staff. Papers reflect the broad geographical, theoretical and methodological scope of research at the Institute, including those of its three main Sections (World Archaeology, Archaeological Sciences and Heritage Studies), and its extensive global fieldwork presence. The journal has been relaunched with a double issue in 2011 to mark the Institute of Archaeology’s coming 75th anniversary year, and is now also online and fully open access.

Blogiversary (now there's an execrable word!)

Today, 6 January 2013, is the fourth anniversity of AWOL.  I will spend most of the day in aircraft or in airports.  Not a very interesting thing to do.

AWOL has a steadily increasing readership - somthing over a million page views so far.  Recent statistics are here.

2569 entries (beginning here), well over a thousand open access journals identified, countless digitized books cited, a constant stream of born digital scholarship tagged.

It's a tribute to you - the producers and consumers of all of this - that a portal (though I prefer the anaolgy of lens or prism) like AWOL is meaningful. 

Congratulations to us all!

TheLevantine Ceramics Project
The Levantine Ceramics Project is a collaborative venture of archaeologists working in the modern countries of the Levant to make the evidence of ceramic wares, shapes, and laboratory analyses readily available. Our goal is to build a resource that will simplify the process of submitting, searching for, and using ceramic evidence so as to help advance broad comparative research on Levantine social, cultural, and economic history.

Eugesta [Journal on Gender Studies in Antiquity]
http://eugesta.recherche.univ-lille3.fr/revue/eng/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/eugesta-bandeau-1000x288-en-v3.png 
Le recours aux concepts de sexe et de genre développés dans les Gender Studies a considérablement transformé les recherches dans le domaine de l’Antiquité en ouvrant un nouveau champ extrêmement fructueux sur le plan culturel et social. Dans la mesure où elle est à l’origine de conceptions et valeurs auxquelles se réfèrent les constructions d’identités dans les cultures occidentales, l’Antiquité est un lieu d’application de ces théories tout à fait particulier. Les travaux menés sur les relations entre hommes, entre hommes et femmes, entre femmes, et sur les façons de construire le féminin et le masculin, ont jeté sur le fonctionnement des sociétés et cultures antiques, un éclairage nouveau, qui est aussi d’un intérêt capital pour l’étude de la réception de l’Antiquité dans les cultures occidentales.
Lire la suite…
The increased attention accorded to concepts of sex and gender developed by work in gender studies has powerfully transformed research in to the ancient Mediterranean past, opening up a new extremely fruitful field of cultural and social analysis. Inasmuch as many ideas and values responsible for shaping the construction of identities in later western societies originate in antiquity, applying gendered theoretical perspectives to the texts and artifacts surviving from the ancient world antiquity offers particular benefits. Inquiries conducted into the relations among men, between men and women, among women, and on modes of constructing what qualifies as “feminine” and “masculine” have brought a new illumination to the distinctive ways that ancient societies and cultures functioned, an illumination also of major relevance for research on the reception of antiquity in western cultures.

Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
ISSN: 1084-7561
http://www.ejvs.laurasianacademy.com/aum1.gif
This journal is open to all bona fide scholars in Vedic Studies. It is monitored for style and content by the Editor-in-Chief. Our aim is to disseminate our work quickly. There is copyright but with automatic permission to publish anywhere else later on when the author wishes to do so. We include articles, abstracts, reviews, and news (such as on conferences, meetings, PhD projects of our students, etc.) We may consider a column of answers to comments on articles published in the journal, with final comment by the author (like the format used in Current Anthropology).

Open Access Journal: Revue de Linguistique Latine du Centre Alfred Ernout: De lingua Latina

[First listed in AWOL 17 February 2010. Updated 8 January 2013]

Revue de Linguistique Latine du Centre Alfred Ernout: De lingua Latina
ISSN 1760-6322
http://www.paris-sorbonne.fr/squelettes/img/logo_sorbonne.png
Il s’agissait d’abord de combler un vide : l’absence de revue française spécifiquement consacrée à la linguistique latine et la rareté générale de telles publications à l’étranger. Cette revue répond surtout à un besoin et à un souhait : la diffusion des travaux menés au sein de nombreuses équipes françaises et étrangères. Une communauté scientifique s’est, en effet, constituée au fil des dernières décennies à l’occasion de nombreuses rencontres de linguistique latine qui ont eu lieu dans l’Europe entière. En outre, le Centre Alfred Ernout a constitué depuis trente ans un point de ralliement de ces chercheurs, en organisant des cycles de conférences, des journées d’études et des colloques biennaux. La présente revue se veut le reflet de ces rencontres et collaborations européennes et américaines. Seuls, jusqu’à présent, avaient été publiés, parmi les travaux du centre Alfred Ernout, les actes des colloques biennaux et de tables rondes dans la collection Lingua Latina aux P.U.P.S. Il restait à publier les ateliers et les conférences. Outre la publication des travaux du centre Alfred Ernout, la revue se propose de diffuser des articles scientifiques de haut niveau à la pointe de la recherche en linguistique latine, de faire des mises au point sur des questions délicates en actualisant le débat, et, de manière plus générale, d’assurant la formation des étudiants et des jeunes chercheurs. Elle cherchera aussi à donner à ces derniers un espace pour la publication de leurs travaux.

La présente revue s’ouvre à toutes les orientations théoriques, à tous les domaines et elle accueille des articles dans toutes les langues.

Les autres langues anciennes ou modernes trouveront également leur place dans une confrontation avec le latin et les langues italiques : cette revue souhaite, en effet, être un espace d’échange et apporter sa contribution à la recherche linguistique en général.

La périodicité sera de deux numéros par an, auxquels viendront s’ajouter des numéros thématiques.

Marginalia: A Review of Books in History, Theology and Religion
http://themarginaliareview.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/xScreen-Shot-2012-09-16-at-8.47.08-PM.png.pagespeed.ic.zycSasTaxY.png
Coming January 29.

Marginalia (www.themarginaliareview.com) is an international review of academic literature from a range of disciplines along the nexus of history, theology and religion, providing timely, open-access reviews of the highest scholarly calibre. We hope to raise the standard of the academic book review, publishing only the most incisive and thoughtful reviews. Reviewers should expect their reviews in Marginalia to be easily discoverable by Google and other search engines, and so to have more visibility and accessibility than in some traditional print-based journals.  We encourage reviewers to give careful thought not only to the content but also to the presentation of the review, and hope to see the academic review in theology and religion move closer to the standard of the Times Literary Supplement or the New York Review of Books.
____________
Marginalia (www.themarginaliareview.com) est une revue internationale de la littérature  académique venant d’une variété de disciplines qui marquent des liens entre l’histoire, la théologie et la religion, offrant des revues d’actualité à accès ouvert et de plus haut niveau académique.  Nous cherchons à mettre la barre plus haut en publiant seules les revues académiques les plus incisives et mieux réfléchies.  Nos critiques peuvent savoir que leurs revues publiées dans Marginalia seront facilement interrogeables sur Google et d’autres moteurs de recherche, et qu’ils connaîtront ainsi plus de visibilité et d’accessibilité que dans d’autres journaux publiés de façon traditionnelle, sur papier.  Nous encourageons nos critiques à bien réfléchir sur non seulement le contenu mais aussi la présentation de leurs revues, et souhaitons témoigner le rapprochement du niveau de la revue académique en théologie et religion à celui du Times Literary Supplement ou New York Review of Books.
____________
Die internationale Rezensionsplattform „Marginalia“ (www.themarginaliareview.com) veröffentlicht – aktuell und frei zugänglich – Rezensionen zu Fachliteratur aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Theologie und Religionswissenschaft. Durch ihre herausragenden Publikationen erfüllt „Marginalia“ höchste wissenschaftliche Ansprüche und setzt damit zugleich neue Standards auf dem Gebiet wissenschaftlicher Buchbesprechungen. Doch nicht nur qualitativ wird „Marginalia“ zum Novum; auch quantitativ erzielen die hier verbreiteten Rezensionen, wegen ihrer Verknüpfung mit Suchmaschinen wie Google oder Yahoo, eine deutlich höhere Resonanz, als in manchen traditionellen Fachzeitschriften. Deshalb ermutigen die Herausgeber von „Marginalia“ ihre Autoren ausdrücklich, ein besonderes Augenmerk nicht allein auf den Inhalt, sondern ebenso auf die Präsentation ihrer ‚Gutachten‘ zu richten, und streben an, das Rezensionswesen im Bereich theologischer und religionswissenschaftlicher Forschung auf diese Weise dem Level renommierter Rezensionsorganen wie dem Times Literary Supplement oder der New York Review of Books anzunähern.

Victor Loret: Egyptologue et collectionneur
Ce projet est le fruit de la collaboration entre les chercheurs et les bibliothécaires de la Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée. C’est sous l’impulsion de l’égyptologue Laure Pantalacci, professeur à l’université de Lyon 2, et dans le cadre d’un programme de mise en valeur de la bibliothèque Victor Loret, qu’un site Internet a été consacré à ce personnage. Grand égyptologue français ayant vécu à la charnière du XIXe et du XXe siècle, Victor Loret a en effet légué ses nombreuses collections à l’Université de Lyon, en 1946.

Le site Victor Loret a pour objectif de faciliter les recherches des étudiants et des chercheurs travaillant sur les égyptologues du passé et l’histoire de l’égyptologie. Outre une biographie, une bibliographie et la présentation des collections (monographies, livres anciens, tirés-à-part, photographies…), il permet d’accéder à l’inventaire numérisé de la bibliothèque Victor Loret et à la liste des ouvrages conservés dans la bibliothèque de la Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée. Un espace « Voyageurs » présente le fonds des récits de voyage de cette bibliothèque, et une galerie d’images est mise à la disposition des internautes. (© Université de Lyon)

Open Access Journal: Sino-Platonic Papers

[First posted 8/30/10. Most recently updated 9 January 2012]

Sino-Platonic Papers
Sino-Platonic Papers is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished.

Since issue no. 171 (June 2006), Sino-Platonic Papers has been published electronically on the Web at no cost to readers, with older back issues also being released periodically for free in e-editions. Paper copies of issues nos. 1–170 will continue to be available for purchase until our stock runs out, at which point those issues too will be available for free on the Web.

JSTOR Register & Read

JSTOR has intitiated a program to offer free, read-online access to individual scholars and researchers.  A January 2013 press release announces the expansion of the program to 1,200 journals: Register & Read Title List (MS Excel 2010, 71.41 KB).

Register & Read

Register & Read Beta is a new, experimental program to offer free, read-online access to individual scholars and researchers who register for a MyJSTOR account. Register & Read follows the release of the Early Journal Content as the next step in our efforts to find sustainable ways to extend access to JSTOR, specifically to those not affiliated with participating institutions.

How does it work?

  • When you find an article that’s part of Register & Read, click on the “Read Online Free” option.
  • Register for a free MyJSTOR account, or log into your account if you already have one.
  • Add the content to your shelf to read the full-text online. After 14 days, you may remove it and add new items to your shelf.
  • PDF versions of some articles will also be available for purchase and download. If you purchase articles from your shelf, the PDF versions may be stored and accessed in your MyJSTOR account at any time.
Register & Read includes approximately 1,200 journals from more than 700 publishers, a subset of the content in JSTOR. This includes content from the first volume and issue published for these journals through a recent year (generally 3-5 years ago). A list of the titles and publishers is available for download via the "Register & Read Title List" link below. Register & Read is a beta program, and we expect to adjust aspects of the program as needed. This may include both functionality and the available content.

If you would like to be notified of updates to Register & Read, you may follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
