Frequently Asked QuestionsI published an article in the ASR. How can I legitimately republish it elsewhere or incorporate the contents in a book?
The ASA Board of Directors has ruled that ASR authors do not need to seek authorization of the ASA to subsequently publish their material in other media or venues.
I did not receive my copy of the ASR when I expected it. What can be done about it?
Contact the ASA Secretariat directly to diagnose and solve the problem. The mailings of the ASR are controlled by the Secretariat, not by the Editors.
I submitted a manuscript to the ASR, and after receiving an initial acknowledgment, I have not heard anything. What's going on?
The editors send out manuscripts to reviewers, and we ask that they send in their reviews promptly. Reviewers, however, do not always provide their comments in a timely fashion; consequently, the editors must seek out alternate reviewers. The editors do not want to make a decision with fewer than three reviews. Please feel free to contact the editors by phone or e-mail (asr@anthro.umass.edu) to learn about the particulars of your manuscript.
My department chair has told me that I should seek to publish only in disciplinary journals and not in second rank or interdisciplinary journals. How will publishing in the ASR affect my academic career?
The ASR is a double-blind peer reviewed journal (the author does not know the identity of the reviewers, and the reviewers do not know the identity of the author). The ASR accepts about 20% of manuscripts submitted, placing it among the more selective journals in the world.
Does the ASR publish articles in French?
The ASR welcomes submissions in French. However, since our readership is predominantly Anglophone, most published articles are in English.
