News from JBS

The Journal of British Studies is pleased to announce that it has now moved to continuous publication, to fully Open Access for original research articles at no charge to authors, and to online-only delivery.

This new format has considerable benefits for authors: articles will be released more quickly; a digital version of an article that does not later appear in a print issue will always be properly cited; color images can be reproduced at no additional charge; and multi-media materials such as playlists can be easily imbedded within articles. Online-only, continuous publication, and fully Open Access original research articles will make new scholarship in British Studies more widely and easily available. These articles will reach audiences beyond academia, ensuring that the scholarship that appears in JBS has an impact within the communities our research engages.

JBS encourages submissions from a wide range of British Studies scholars. The flagship journal of the British Studies community, JBS publishes scholarship spanning the early medieval through the late modern periods and seeks to foreground diverse lived experiences and perspectives on the past. The journal welcomes work that is centered on the British Isles as well as that of scholars who place Britain in a global context. JBS is eager to publish scholarship that highlights new methodologies and that incorporates the insights of Indigenous Studies, Black Diaspora Studies, Queer Studies, and Global Studies.
