Anthropology Southern Africa - new to NISC

We are pleased to welcome Anthropology Southern Africa to the NISC stable of journals. The aims of this quarterly are to promote anthropology in southern Africa, to support ethnographic and theoretical research, and to provide voices to public debates. The journal looks at the current conditions in southern African, African and global societies, taking into consideration varied challenges such as the politics of difference, or poverty and dignity. It publishes peer-reviewed research articles, book reviews, commentary, and other material relevant to engaged scholarly discourse within and outside anthropology. 

Anthropology Southern Africa is the official journal of the ASnA, the professional association for social anthropologists living and working in southern Africa. The journal is also listed in the Social Science Citation Index with a two-year Impact Factor of 0.120 and a five-year Impact Factor of 0.273 in the 2013 JCR. NISC is delighted to be collaborating with Routledge on this important African publication.

The review process is quick and is being done within the reasonable time. After acceptance, NISC is also quick enough to send proofs and is very efficiently publishes the accepted paper online before its print version.

The paper was wonderfully laid out and rapidly published
- Author- Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology
Thank you for the rare experience of a set of proofs on which I can find nothing to correct!

A very supportive, personal and committed editorial team, which takes quality of the work very seriously. I learned a lot through the experience of publishing with Anthropology Southern Africa, and felt supported throughout the process.

Perhaps the most important change, in terms of bringing the Journal to a wider audience, has been its publishing in collaboration with the NISC (Pty) Ltd.
