International Journal of Osteoarchaeology

The aim of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology is to provide a forum for the publication of papers dealing with all aspects of the study of human and animal bones from archaeological contexts. The journal will publish original research papers, short reports and commentaries dealing with human or animal bone research from all areas of the world. All papers are subject to rigorous peer review. Our main aim is to publish theoretically informed studies that explore how human and animal remains can be examined to provide detailed and nuanced information about the behaviour and ideology of past cultures. Population level studies of archaeological material are encouraged from any of the following areas of work: Methodology papers on aging, sexing and taphonomic factors that advance current practice are considered for publication but they must demonstrate clear and widespread applicability in archaeological contexts. Palaeopathology studies of human and animal diseases are encouraged especially as diagnosed and interpreted from skeletal remains, including radiographic, histological, biochemical and immunological studies. Biomolecular analyses (DNA, isotopes, proteomics) exploring issues of human and animal diet, mobility, relationships or exposure to toxic substances are considered The journal is aimed principally towards all those with a professional interest in the study of ancient and historic human and animal bones. This includes archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, anthropologists, human and animal bone specialists, palaeopathologists and medical historians. We also hope to attract and encourage students and others for whom this field is of serious but peripheral interest.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
