Шаблон:Copy edit Шаблон:Use American EnglishШаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox journal American Studies (AMSJ) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering issues broadly concerning American culture, society, as well as international perspectives.[1] The journal is sponsored by the Mid-America American Studies Association, the University of Kansas, and the University of Minnesota.[2] The American Studies editorial board is made up of 46 members from 38 institutions in 7 countries.

History

American Studies became a major journal in 1959, when it was first known as the Journal of the Central Mississippi Valley American Studies Association and later as the Midcontinent American Studies Journal. [3] Since 1971, it has been called American Studies and has been published by the ASA's regional chapter, the Mid-America American Studies Association. In 2005, the tri-annual journal became a quarterly publication. This was in part due to a merger with American Studies International (ASI), which ceased publication in 2004, and marked a commitment to internationalizing the editorial board and increasing the presence of scholarship produced outside the U.S., as well as a commitment to continue the teaching-focused features that had been sustained by ASI.

In 2005, the journal merged with American Studies International.[4] In 2022, a partnership with the Department of American Studies at University of Minnesota was formed. The editorial staff includes: editors-in-chief Sherrie Tucker and Christopher Perreira. In 2020, American Studies revamped the journal's blog as Dialogues: Blog of the American Studies Journal, which has been edited by Nishani Frazier since 2022.

American Studies is one of the top journals in the field, with a U.S. circulation of roughly 1,200 and an international circulation averaging around 500. The journal is available open-source, with a rolling embargo of 3 years. The journal is available full-text through the following databases: JSTOR, Project Muse, ProQuest, and EBSCO. American Studies uses a double-anonymous peer-review process. Each submission that moves through the process is typically sent to three readers, two from the editorial board and one specialist. AMSJШаблон:'s acceptance rate is approximately 25%.

Special Issues

Each year, American Studies publishes a special issue that concerns a single theme of interest in the field and is managed by a guest editor or a team of editors.
