The Indian Ocean World Centre is excited to announce that the Journal of Indian Ocean World Studies has recently joined the Johns Hopkins University Press under a co-publication agreement with the McGill University Library. This is a major development for the IOWC, for the JIOWS, and for the field of Indian Ocean World studies as a whole. Our own Dr. Philip Gooding, Project Manager at the IOWC and Associate Editor of the JIOWS, has a blog post on the Johns Hopkins University Press website that explains the new partnership and how it will enhance the great work done at the Journal.
The newest edition of the JIOWS, the first published under the new agreement, is available on Project Muse, where it will soon be joined by the back catalogue currently available through the McGill University Library. Submission guidelines are available here. The new relationship with Johns Hopkins does not shift the JIOWS’s mandate as a platinum open access journal, meaning that neither authors nor readers are charged any fees. Authors will also continue to maintain copyright to their work, allowing them to rework it for future publication, under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
