This one-stop guide to getting published in anthropology gives graduate students and young professionals the crucial information and tools they need to tackle the all-important requirement to publish. Part I provides step-by-step guidance on key efforts that budding anthropologists can benefit from, including organizing a conference panel, creating a poster, presenting a paper, getting an article published in a journal, and publishing a dissertation as a monograph. In Part II, scholars in the anthropology subdisciplines offer first-hand insight into publishing in their area. Part III chapters cover author contracts, copyright issues, collaboration, and online publishing opportunities. Helpful appendices list anthropology journals and publishers specializing in anthropology books.
How to Get Published in Anthropology is essential reading for all graduate students and the professors who teach them. The contributors practice what they preach by offering lively, concise, and well-written essays that cover the rapidly changing field of publishing. Step-by-step guidance is provided to guide burgeoning authors, from presenting conference papers to publishing journal articles, books, and digital communications. Attention is given to subdisciplinary considerations, and valuable advice is provided about technical issues such as author agreements, copyright, and collaboration. I enthusiastically recommend this book to my young colleagues and to anyone who wants to know more about the field of anthropological publishing.
