Most Popular #BerghahnOpenAnthro Articles of 2020

Berghahn Open Anthro is a subscribe-to-open model being piloted by Berghahn Books in partnership with Libraria, a group of researchers who are also supporting a number of other publishers hoping to adopt this model should the pilot prove successful. This model was developed in part through a 2019 ground-breaking collaborative meeting between publishers, libraries, funders, and OA experts.

In the spirit of Anthropology Day on 18 February 2021, here are the most popular Berghahn Open Anthro articles of 2020. These articles yielded the most downloads of all articles across the thirteen journals in the collection. We also included recommended further reading for each article.

Happy Anthropology Day from all of us at Berghahn Books, a leading publisher of Anthropology and Social Sciences.
