Article problems

I'm not sure what this article is trying to accomplish. Is this supposed to be a list-type article? In any case, it contains some inconsistencies/errors. For example, why is a journal on European cultures and edited by someone in Northern Ireland classed as an "American" journal? (Categorizing academic journals by "nationality" is a practice that has been abandoned for quite some time now). The classification seems rather haphazard anyway. There's a section named "four-field journals" (might be useful to explain this to non-specialist readers, because by implication only one field is mentioned: anthropology; and the following line suggests its not fields, but sub-fields), but the very first journal in the next section is also said to "incorporating all four sub-fields". --Randykitty (talk) 12:03, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This is a work in progress. Look for clean-up in the near future.

Added the journal Sites to the list

I have added the journal Sites: a Journal of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies to the section listing journals by area of geographic coverage. I have also provided an external link to the journal's homepage. I am the current Secretary for this journal. I know that it's not normally the done thing to add information about your own organisation to Wikipedia, so I hope this is ok. This list article is a useful starting point for finding new journals to read and publish in, and it would be great to see it developed further.

Added the journals HAU and Visual Anthropology Review to the list

These are of equal stature to the Journals already listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cometjo (talkcontribs) 11:40, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
