Special Issue: The Anthropology of Infectious Disease
Submission Deadline Has Been Extended!
OCTOBER 12th, 2010
Greetings, students of Anthropology!
NEXUS is seeking submissions for a SPECIAL ISSUE on the "Anthropology of Infectious Disease," in order to showcase unique work in this topic area from current and former students in the McMaster University Department of Anthropology. We also welcome and encourage submissions from non-McMaster students.
This topic has been a particular area of interest for many former & current McMaster Anthropology students. We are seeking to highlight your scholarly works in this topic area, whether or not the work was produced during your McMaster University course and/or thesis work. Former McMaster students in undergraduate and graduate courses have successfully compiled their anthropology of infectious disease and health papers into published volumes as well as published journal articles. We wish to continue this tradition with a Special Issue of our department's own peer-reviewed, four-field Anthropology journal, Nexus! Submissions from non-McMaster students are also very welcome.
We hope that you will consider submitting any of your Anthropology of Infectious Disease papers, articles, or other works to our Special Issue. As with other academic peer-reviewed journals, our double-blind review process will ensure that your works remain completely confidential until the publication stage. Procedures for submission, review, and publication decisions can be found by clicking on the Policies & Submission Guidelines link.
All submissions must be uploaded ONLINE to the website, which is now ready to accept submissions. Visit the Policies & Submission Guidelines section to properly prepare your manuscript for submission, then visit "Submit Article".
The deadline for submissions HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 12th, 2010.
Nexus is an open-access, online-only journal with the release of Volume 21 in 2009. All past issues can now be accessed, free-of-charge, in PDF format, made possible by DigitalCommons powered by Bepress and the libraries of McMaster University. Please consider submitting your work to Nexus! Thank you for your consideration, and please contact us with any questions at nexusjournal@gmail.com.
Sincerely, your Volume 22 Editorial Board,
Jessica Pace & Alison M. Devault
Current Issue: Volume 21, Issue 1 (2009)
Thank you for your interest in the 21st volume of NEXUS, published July 2009. This volume is the product of over a year of hard work on the part of the editorial board and the authors, and we are very pleased to finally share it with you. We thank everyone who submitted an article for our consideration, and all the copy editors and anonymous reviewers who generously volunteered their time to the academic improvement of this journal. As always, we extend our thanks as well to the Department of Anthropology, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the School of Graduate Studies at McMaster University for their continuing support of this journal.
With Volume 21, we are pleased to announce the premiere of ONLINE availability of every NEXUS volume. This includes free access to all past volumes (since 1980 onwards), which were previously only available in print content to subscribers. With our new easy-to-access online format, we hope to be able to reach even more readers across Canada and beyond. We feel that this flexible medium of publication is well-suited to the ever-evolving world of anthropological expression, and encourage the future submission of alternative mediums such as video that can be easily accessed online.
Regards,
- Your Volume 21 Editorial Board
