UA Regents’ Professor Richard H. Wilkinson, who has led excavations and other research in Egypt, came up with the idea to launch a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on scholarly work centered on ancient Egypt art, history, religion, technology and culture and the country’s relationship with its neighbors.
The Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections, an electronic peer-reviewed journal, has been created out of a collaboration with UA faculty and the UA Libraries. It will be hosted on the UA Libraries’ institutional repository site, also known as UAiR.
The journal publishes full-length articles, which have been subjected to the same peer-reviewed, blind screening process used by traditional scholarly print journals. The JAEI will also include short research notes, reviews of published works, announcements and reports of relevant conferences and symposia.
The journal counts Oxford and Harvard universities among its initial subscribers and subscriptions have already been received from a number of countries. Interest has also been high among scholars wanting to contribute to the journal.
The next issue of the JAEI will be available at the UAiR site at the end of March.
