Critique of Anthropology is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes scholarly articles in the field of anthropology. The journal was established in 1974 and is dedicated to the development of anthropology as a discipline that subjects social reality to critical analysis.

Scope

Critique of Anthropology focuses on materials contributing to an understanding of the determinants of the human condition, structures of social power, and the construction of ideologies in contemporary and historic human societies. It aims to be a leader in the development of anthropology at an international level, advancing a critical cross-cultural social science that challenges received wisdom both in academia and society at large. COA encourages work that is challenging, innovative, sometimes experimental and often uncomfortable, following the principle that anthropologists cannot and should not seek to avoid taking positions on political and social questions. The journal is non-sectarian and embraces a variety of theoretical and political views. It also includes all branches of anthropology within its range of interests, including aspects of biological anthropology, ethno-history, and archaeology.

Abstracting and indexing

Critique of Anthropology is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, and the Social Sciences Citation Index. According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2010 impact factor is 0.425, ranking it 50th out of 75 in Anthropology.
