The principal goal of the IUAES Commission on Publication is to disseminate the world’s anthropological work. It seeks to facilitate, promote and encourage publication of articles and special sections in open access journals, respecting the guidelines of the journals involved. The IUAES Commission on Publication also intend to suggest principles and well-regarded processes for the editors of journals around the world. Commission would do research on the state of anthropological journals around the world.

Our work would do research on the state of anthropological journals around the world and complement the Commission on Documentation. It would also complement the WCAA’S Council on Publishing by being more research-based.

The Commission also work together to overcome problems such as the unequal visibility of authors in academic journals, politics related to Open Access, and editorial processes. We are planning to organize panels, workshops and international conferences which shed a light on already discussed issues related to publication. We will consider the results of our activities for post workshop / conference publications.

The new commission means to bring together voices from around the globe that have been underrepresented in national, regional, and global anthropologies, even though they possess the potential to enrich knowledge production. This includes alternative approaches to theory that have been neglected and ignored.

We intend to arrange pre and post-events for IUAES congresses and inter-congresses, along with meetings. Additionally, we have plans for online workshops.

The Commission will publish the results of our activities as books, videos and journal dossiers, and plan to distribute all our copyleft materials in many forms. Through the creation of this significant commission, we aspire to promote and back a fresh cohort of global anthropological and ethnographic scholars, researchers, and scientists.
