‘Around the Ancient World in 22 Journals’: The global reach of Cambridge’s open access publishing in Archaeology
20 October 2025
Last update: 20/10/25 09:10
Cambridge is proud to publish Archaeology journals that span every region of the world and all periods of history, with international journals that publish global research (Antiquity, Cambridge Archaeological Journal, Advances in Archaeological Practice), journals that publish research specific to a certain area or continent (American Antiquity, Ancient Mesoamerica, Latin American Antiquity, European Journal of Archaeology, Iraq and so many more!), and even interdisciplinary journals that bring different perspectives to archaeology research (International Journal of Cultural Property, Radiocarbon).
Cambridge is committed to building a place where everyone has a sense of belonging, where our diversity increases our impact in education and research. Inclusivity and diversity in archaeological studies enable us to challenge dominant colonial narratives of global history and enrich the field with new sources of data and new perspectives, deepening our understanding of human history and prehistory.
In addition to hosting/publishing research from across the globe, Cambridge also offers a wide variety of pathways to publishing open access (OA). Inclusivity is incomplete without accessibility; not only can open access research improve visibility, it may also be shared more widely than research hidden behind a paywall. Open access funding can be supported by institutional OA agreements, the Cambridge Open Equity Initiative, the Research4Life scheme, or discretionary waivers. If you’re interested in publishing your article open access, why not explore your options here.
All our Archaeology journals accept and publish OA articles/papers/research, with Advances in Archaeological Practice, Cambridge Archaeological Journal, IRAQ, and Archaeological Dialogues being completely open access, and International Journal of Cultural Property flipping to open access in January 2026.
