Assessing Diversity in the Society for American Archaeology Journals

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Documenting Demographics in Archaeological Publications and Grants" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The three peer-reviewed journals of the Society for American Archaeology—*American Antiquity, *Latin American Antiquity, and *Advances in Archaeological Practice—are available to all members of the SAA electronically, but have different readerships, distinct submission bases, and individual cultures of practice and production. The editors share a desire to increase diversity and achieve equity along a variety of different axes. In this presentation, we share data—as available—about gender and geographic diversity in submission rates, publication rates, peer review, and readership. As we consider what is behind these trends and comment on our successes, attempts, and failures, we ask for a broader study of equity in archaeological practice and publication so that our journals, in the future, will better reflect the membership of the Society and the global archaeological community.
