Open Access Journal: Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions

Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions

Fondée en 1956 sous l’égide du CNRS, Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions est désormais publiée par les Éditions de l’EHESS.

La revue s’assigne trois objectifs :

- promouvoir une perspective comparative, élargie à toutes les religions, et à toutes les aires culturelles ;

- favoriser une coopération de toutes les sciences sociales aux fins d’éclairer les facettes multiples du phénomène religieux;

- accueillir l’exposé des réflexions méthodologiques et théoriques sur les objets de la recherche.

L’effervescence de l’actualité religieuse et la globalisation des formes de religiosité conduisent plus que jamais les sciences sociales à interroger leurs frontières disciplinaires et à mettre à l’épreuve leurs paradigmes du fait religieux.

Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions publie alternativement des numéros thématiques et des synthèses bibliographiques. Elle accueille – en français, en anglais, et en espagnol – des articles témoignant des recherches les plus avancées en ce domaine, en France et à l’étranger.

JSTOR in WorldCat.org

OCLC issued this news release last week:

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 15 January 2010—Authenticated scholars and researchers with online access to full-text content in JSTOR can now locate and connect to articles through WorldCat.org.

Over 4.5 million JSTOR article-level records from more than 1,000 journals, selected monographs, and other scholarly content are now indexed in WorldCat.org, the Web destination for discovery of materials in libraries worldwide. JSTOR records are delivered in WorldCat.org search results. Scholars and researchers using WorldCat.org can now identify content in JSTOR and connect to the full-text using the authorization provided by their library.

“JSTOR is invaluable for researchers and scholars around the world,” said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. “OCLC is honored to partner with JSTOR in this endeavor, which will significantly increase the visibility and availability of these digital resources via the Internet. This is an important advance for the international scholarly community.”

WorldCat.org is a Web destination with search and social networking features that allow information seekers to discover, localize, and personalize content from local collections and those of more than 10,000 WorldCat libraries worldwide. WorldCat.org indexing of JSTOR metadata helps researchers easily identify resources in the collection alongside other materials relevant to their work. An authorization is required for access to full-text materials in JSTOR.

“Users want to access important scholarly content in myriad ways,” said Michael Spinella, JSTOR Managing Director. “Millions of WorldCat.org users around the world will now be able to locate the content in JSTOR licensed by their libraries quickly and easily. This is a fantastic development that we believe will serve OCLC member libraries and their communities well.”

WorldCat is the world’s largest database of bibliographic information built continuously by libraries around the world since 1971. Each record in the WorldCat database contains a bibliographic description of a single item or work and a list of institutions that hold the item. The institutions share these records, using them to create local catalogs, arrange interlibrary loans and conduct reference work.

There are now more than 165 million records in WorldCat spanning five millennia of recorded knowledge. Like the knowledge it describes, WorldCat grows steadily. Every second, OCLC and its member libraries add seven records to WorldCat.

On the SBL's new Online Open Access Ancient Near East Monograph Series

Why You Should Submit Your Manuscript or Proposal to the Online, Open-Access Ancient Near East Monograph Series
Alan Lenzi in SBL Forum (January 2010).

Many SBL Forum readers will have heard about a new online, open-access monograph series. It is called Ancient Near East Monographs / Monografías sobre el Antiguo Cercano OrienteInternational Cooperation Initiative. This new peer-reviewed series publishes volumes on any aspect of the ancient Near East from the Neolithic to the early Hellenistic eras, including works on ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible. The open-access nature of the series means that it is globally available. Moreover, it publishes volumes in English and Spanish and some of its English volumes will be translated into Spanish to reach an even wider readership—the series is a joint project of the SBL and the Centro de Estudios de Historia del Antiguo Oriente (CEHAO) of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. The same scholarly standards that apply to any SBL series apply to ANEM/MACO and it is led by an international editorial board comprised of both senior and junior scholars. The series is currently accepting proposals. As a member of the editorial board, my purpose in writing this brief essay is to encourage members of the SBL to submit their series-appropriate manuscripts or proposals.
One may well wonder, given the title of the series, what exactly is appropriate for the series...
