Re: [Archport] Fwd: STAR: a new open access journal in archaeological and heritage science

[Nuno Bicho <nbicho@ualg.pt>]

Caros colegas,

é verdade que à primeira vista possa parecer que este é mais uma dessas revistas (principalmente devido ao título...). Contudo, numa observação mais atenta e criteriosa, nota-se que os dois editores são cientistas de qualidade internacional (para quem conhece esta área de investigação) e a editora, Maney Publishing, é uma das editoras de referência mundial a seguir à Elsevier e à Springer. 

Pareceu-me boa ideia dar a conhecer à comunidade científica mais uma revista de cariz internacional - naturalmente, cada um de nós escolhe onde quer publicar e qual o impacto nacional e internacional que deseja ter para o seu trabalho.

Cumprimentos,

Nuno

Caros Archportianos:

sinceramente, à primeira vista, esta revista cheira aos chamados "predator journals"... Para quem andou distraído, aconselho a leitura de um interessante artigo já divulgado anteriormente na Archport:

A new open access journal in archaeological and heritage science

Dear colleague,

I am excited to tell you about Science and Technology of Archaeological Research the first fully open access journal from Maney Publishing.

STAR is published in association with the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS).

Professor Robert H Tykot, President of the SAS and
co-editor of STAR, commented that "The Society for Archaeological Sciences is pleased to be affiliated with Maney Publishing through this new, open access journal, which aims for publications by a multi-disciplinary range of archaeologists, archaeometrists, and scientists, and at an even broader audience of both professionals and the wider public".

STAR seeks to provide a dynamic, rigorously reviewed, international and high quality open access forum for rapid publication of archaeological research interpreted from, and informed by, scientific and technological data.

• Editors plan to highlight areas of archaeological debate
• Articles will provide interpretative context and suggest the relevance of scientific studies for the broader archaeological community
• BROAD SCOPE: The journal embraces the full breadth of archaeological enquiry; no periods, regions or site types are excluded
• SCIENTIFIC CONTENT: For publication in the core journal, STAR stipulates only that the article demonstrates the significance of the scientific or computational methods used to the archaeological knowledge base
• STAR aims to provide the first editorial decision within three weeks with rapid online publication
• The full potential of the online format will be used to showcase current imaging methods, data and analysis
