Journal Of World Prehistory

Journal Title：Journal Of World Prehistory

Aims and scopeJournal of World Prehistory is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, original treatments of the prehistory of an area or larger region. It was founded nearly thirty years ago with the remit of providing researchers, instructors and students with timely and authoritative research syntheses from all fields of archaeology. Journal of World Prehistory continues to lead in this field. Our classic articles may be 20,000 or 25,000 words long, as appropriate (excluding their extensive bibliographies). Since 2008 they have been joined by shorter (around 10,000 words), position pieces, which provide in-depth, thoughtful development of data and concepts, including interventions in controversies that unfold in our pages. These, written in a fashion interesting and accessible to all archaeologists, are often paired with a longer treatment in a single volume. In addition, readers now benefit from thematic special issues and double issues, in which a number of leading authors deal with a key theme in world prehistory, such as the origins of metallurgy (2009, volumes 22: 3 and 4), or the East Asian Neolithic (2013, in preparation). All papers are available first online, followed by the print edition. We aim to be truly global in coverage, with recent articles dealing, inter alia, with Amazonian lithics, the late Jomon of Hokkaido, the Bronze Age in Southeast Asia, the Neanderthal settlement of Doggerland, Neolithic networks in Western Asia, younger Dryas Paleo-Indian adaptations, and state formation in the Horn of Africa. Articles benefit from multi-language abstracts where appropriate, and we work closely with authors who do not have English as a first language to present major syntheses in a clear and concise way to an international audience. Traditionally, JWP focuses on earlier periods, but it includes the beginnings and early development of complex societies, and our understanding of ‘prehistory’ is broad and inclusive: for guidance on chronological scope, as well as our calendrical conventions, see the editorial article ‘Prehistory vs. Archaeology: terms of Engagement’ http://www.springerlink.com/content/346142p032604447/ Our unique remit means that we do not encourage the submission of unsolicited papers; rather, specific proposals are encouraged and then guided prior to independent peer review. Our aims and the way we fulfil them, with close contact with authors throughout the publication process, mean that JWP is not a venue for the simple and rapid dissemination of new results. Whilst we expect scholarship to be current, with syntheses including much new data, our readers look to us for definitive area/period coverage that will have continuing value.If you are proposing an article or special theme for Journal of World Prehistory, please read the Instructions for authors.Rated 'A' in the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH)?Journal of World Prehistory is rated 'A' in the ERIH, a new reference index that aims to help evenly access the scientific quality of Humanities research output.

目標和范圍《世界史前雜志》是一個國際論壇，發表經過同行評審的、關于某個區域或更大區域史前史的原創研究。它成立于近三十年前，其職責是為研究人員、教師和學生提供來自考古學各個領域的及時和權威的研究綜述?！妒澜缡非半s志》繼續在這一領域處于領先地位。我們的經典文章長度可能有 20,000 或 25,000 字，具體取決于（不包括其廣泛的參考書目）。自 2008 年以來，我們加入了較短的（約 10,000 字）立場文章，這些文章提供深入、深思熟慮的數據和概念發展，包括對我們頁面上展開的爭議的干預。這些文章以一種有趣且所有考古學家都能理解的方式編寫，通常與單卷中的較長論述配對。此外，讀者現在還可以從主題特刊和雙刊中受益，其中許多主要作者討論了世界史前史的關鍵主題，例如冶金術的起源（2009 年，第 22 卷：3 和 4）或東亞新石器時代（2013 年，準備中）。所有論文均首先在線提供，然后提供印刷版。我們的目標是真正實現全球覆蓋，最近的文章涉及亞馬遜石器、北海道晚期繩文時代、東南亞青銅時代、多格蘭的尼安德特人定居點、西亞的新石器時代網絡、新仙女木期古印第安人的適應性以及非洲之角的國家形成。文章在適當的情況下受益于多語言摘要，并且我們與非英語為母語的作者密切合作，以清晰簡潔的方式向國際觀眾展示主要綜合。傳統上，JWP 關注早期時期，但它也包括復雜社會的開始和早期發展，我們對“史前史”的理解是廣泛而包容的：有關時間范圍和日歷慣例的指導，請參閱編輯文章“史前史與考古學：參與條款”http://www.springerlink.com/content/346142p032604447/ 我們獨特的職責意味著我們不鼓勵提交未經請求的論文；相反，我們鼓勵并在獨立同行評審之前指導具體的提案。我們的目標以及我們實現目標的方式，以及在整個出版過程中與作者的密切聯系，意味著 JWP 不是簡單快速傳播新成果的場所。雖然我們期望學術研究與時俱進，綜合研究包含大量新數據，但我們的讀者希望我們能提供具有持續價值的權威領域/時期覆蓋范圍。如果您要為《世界史前雜志》提議一篇文章或一個特別的主題，請閱讀作者說明。在歐洲人文學科參考索引 (ERIH) 中被評為“A”？《世界史前雜志》在 ERIH 中被評為“A”，ERIH 是一個旨在幫助均衡評估人文學科研究成果科學質量的新參考索引。
