Maine Open Journals

Andean Past is a peer-reviewed, open-access, diamond route, numbered publication series dedicated to research in the archaeology and ethnohistory of western South America. However, short research reports, obituaries, and autobiographies are subject to editorial review only. Although Andean Past focuses on pre-Columbian times, it includes articles on the Colonial Period that enhance understanding of indigenous cultures before 1492. Andean Past encourages data-based submissions, contributions to the history of Andean archaeology, papers grounded in environmental archaeology, fresh interpretations supported by accompanying data, interim and field reports, and the publication of short documents.

Published since 1969, Maine History is the only peer-reviewed, scholarly publication devoted to the history of Maine. The journal is a partnership between the University of Maine History Department and Maine Historical Society. 

Maine Policy Review publishes timely, independent, peer-reviewed analysis of public policy issues relevant to the state of Maine. The journal is published twice a year by the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine and the Margaret Chase Smith Foundation. The material published within does not necessarily reflect the views of the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center nor of the Margaret Chase Smith Foundation.

The New England Journal of Political Science is published by the New England Political Science Association. Beginning in 2022, the journal is published annually in the Fall. Prior to 2022, the journal published two issues per year. The New England Journal of Political Science aims to publish high quality original research in all four of the major subfields of political science (American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory), along with brief reports on the politics of the six New England states. Some issues may contain additional material such as book reviews.

Résonance is an editor-reviewed, online literary journal whose goal is to encourage, showcase, and disseminate creative works by and/or about the Franco-American communities of the United States.

We look forward to working closely with you to expand the body of creative work about the Franco-Americans of the U.S., and to grow the audience and market for Franco-American literature.
