Berghahn Open Anthropology

Launched in 2020, Berghahn Open Anthro is a subscribe-to-open initiative by Berghahn Books in partnership with Libraria. Now in its fifth year, the initiative has transitioned 16 core anthropology journals fully open access and added Social Anthropology, the journal of the European Association of Social Anthropologists to the collection in 2022, as well as Ethnologia Europaea in 2024.

Benefits of Subscribe-to-Open:

  • An opportunity for authors to publish without paying APCs, which promotes equity and diversity in scholarly research.
  • A sustainable and seamless open access solution for both libraries and publishers.
  • Open content to researchers with limited access to important resources.

Support the initiative by recommending one journal or the entire BOA collection to your library!
