The journal, its mission, and scope

The Anuário Antropológico (AA) is a journal of the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology at the University of Brasília (PPGAS/UnB), published on a continuous basis and aligned with the open science framework with IDEIA – Impact, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. The journal is rated A2 by QUALIS/CAPES.

Its mission is to communicate ethnographic and ethnological knowledge in order to foster academic debate and the epistemological advancement of anthropology. Founded in 1976 by Professor Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira, it is one of the oldest anthropology journals in Brazil. The first issue was released in 1977, five years after the creation of PPGAS/UnB. Although its headquarters have always been at the University of Brasília (UnB), the Anuário Antropológico was created as a journal with a national scope and international projection. From the outset, it has featured contributions from colleagues in other countries, mainly from Latin America.

The journal’s editorial dynamics and structure are governed by its regulations, updated by the PPGAS/UnB board at a meeting on July 17, 2023.

This is an open-access journal. All of its content is available free of charge to users, who may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without prior permission from the editor or the author.
