60-Year Publication Statistics
In 1975, Editor James Spuhler and Co-Editors Lewis Binford, Alfonso Ortiz, and Bernard Spolsky tabulated SWJA/JAR articles
by anthropological fields and regions for the first 30 years of publication. As the Journal reaches its 60th Anniversary,
we have done a similar tabulation. The analysis was done by Lisa Pacheco, the graduate student editorial assistant. As the following
tables show, the Journal publishes in all fields but with ethnology and archeology always dominant, though fluctuating in their relative
importance. Despite their minority position in the statistics, linguistic and physical anthropology articles continue to be important
and the Journal remains committed to publishing in these fields.
The Journal's tradition of U.S. Southwestern subjects continues to be strong, but there is again increasing authorship
by non-U.S. scholars. What the tables do not show is that book reviews have become more numerous and articles have grown longer
in recent years.
