Me kënaqësi ju njoftojmë se revista jonë, Kosova Anthropologica është pranuar si anëtare e iniciativës globale Open Journals Collective (OJC).

06/11/2025

The University of Prishtina (UP) is now a member of EDCH/DIAMAS, a European network that aims to strengthen capacity for academic publishing under the Diamond Open Access model. This model promotes open, trustworthy, and sustainable scientific publishing that is free of charge for both authors and readers, in accordance with the recommendations of the Council of the European Union and UNESCO.

UP's institutional membership in DIAMAS was made possible through the journal "Kosova Anthropologica," which meets the core criteria of a journal published under the Diamond Open Access model.

Universiteti i Prishtinës anëtarësohet në rrjetin e BE-s EDCH/DIAMAS përmes Kosova Anthropologica

Universiteti i Prishtinës është pranuar në rrjetin evropian EDCH/DIAMAS, i cili mbështet botimin akademik në modelin Diamond Open Access. Ky anëtarësim u mundësua falë revistës Kosova Anthropologica, e cila prej vitesh botohet pa tarifa për autorët dhe me qasje të hapur për publikun, duke përmbushur standardet evropiane të botimit me qasje të hapur.

Në këtë kuadër, Kosova Anthropologica ka luajtur rol kyç në hapjen e UP-së drejt platformave ndërkombëtare të bashkëpunimit akademik dhe në promovimin e kulturës së qasjes së hapur në botim shkencor. UP ka miratuar së fundmi Rregulloren e re të botimeve, e cila parashikon që të gjitha botimet akademike të Universitetit të ofrohen përmes qasjes së hapur.

Kryeredaktori i revistës, Prof. Arsim Canolli, u shpreh:

“Kosova Anthropologica është argumentuar si shembull i praktikës së botimit me qaje të hapur në UP. Përmes saj u sigurua anëtarësimi institucional në DIAMAS, i cili tashmë e vendos UP-në në një rrjet bashkëpunimi evropian për përforcimin e kapaciteteve botuese përmes botimit me qasje të hapur.”

Kosova Anthropologica po bëhet model i politikave të botimit akademik në Universitetin e Prishtinës.

University of Prishtina joins the EU EDCH/DIAMAS network through Kosova Anthropologica

The University of Prishtina has joined the European EDCH/DIAMAS network, which supports academic publishing in the Diamond Open Access model. This membership was made possible through the journal Kosova Anthropologica, which has for years been published without author fees and with full open access to readers, meeting European standards for open-access scholarly publishing.

https://registry.diamas.org/universiteti-i-prishtines

Kosova Anthropologica has played a key role in opening UP to international academic collaboration and in fostering a strong culture of open-access research dissemination. Recently, the University approved a new Publishing Regulation, ensuring that all academic publications published by UP will be openly accessible.

The journal’s Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Arsim Canolli, noted:

“Kosova Anthropologica has served as a model of open-access publishing at UP. Through it, we secured UP’s institutional membership in DIAMAS, which now places the University within a European network dedicated to strengthening scholarly publishing capacity through open access.”

Kosova Anthropologica is emerging as a model for shaping the University of Prishtina’s academic publishing policies.

Kosova Anthropologica joins global conversations on Open Access

Kosova Anthropologica Editor-in-Chief, Arsim Canolli, was invited to participate in three major Open Access events held during International Open Access Week 2025.

He was first invited to the Open Access Journals Collective Board Meeting, a new global initiative set to officially launch next year, aiming to strengthen collaboration, visibility, and sustainability among open access journals worldwide. Kosova Anthropologica has applied to be a member.

Dr. Canolli was also invited to the “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” event hosted by the University of Michigan Press, where he joined Dr. Nwachukwu Egbunike from Pan-African University Press (Lagos, Nigeria) in a rich conversation on open-access publishing in their respective countries, sharing experiences and challenges.

Finally, he participated in the webinar “Mainstreaming Diamond – Regional Perspectives, Shared Futures,” organised by the Open Library of Humanities (openlibhums.org). The event convened key voices from the diamond open access (DOA) publishing community to explore how diamond OA can move from the margins to the mainstream.

Across these events, Dr. Canolli presented Kosova Anthropologica, emphasising its mission as a Diamond Open Access journal free for authors to publish and free for readers to access. He also announced that the University of Prishtina will transition its entire publishing programme to a full Diamond Open Access model starting January 2026, marking an important milestone in Kosovo’s commitment to open, equitable, and globally visible scholarship.

Kosova njihet nga DOAJ!

Me kënaqësi ju njoftojmë se Kosova tani është zyrtarisht e listuar në DOAJ. Edhe pse revista jonë Kosova Anthropologica është anëtare e Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) që nga fillimi i vitit 2025, Kosova, si shtet, nuk figuronte në indeks.

Pas kërkesës sonë, DOAJ e përditësoi databazën e tyre. Ky është një gjest dashamirës, demokratik dhe bujar i DOAJ-it gjatë International Open Access Week 2025.

Kosova Anthropologica është një revistë me qasje të hapur (Diamond Open Access) dhe e përkushtuar ndaj avancimit të kërkimit të hapur dhe kritik. Ajo synon të jetë zëri i antropologjisë në Kosovë dhe në rajon, duke nxitur dialog, kritikë dhe qasje të hapur.

Jemi po ashtu mirënjohës ndaj faktit se edhe Universiteti i Prishtinës ka vendosur pro botimeve të tij, tërësisht në përputhje me Qasjen e Hapur (Open Access), pas miratimit të rregullores së re (bashkë me udhëzues të ri) për botime.

Ky është një hap i rëndësishëm për forcimin e hapjes dhe vizibilitetit të kërkimit shkencor të Kosovës dhe kontributit të saj modest në dijen globale.

Kosova now listed in our Kosova Anthropologica DOAJ entry!

We’re delighted to share that Kosova is now officially listed in our DOAJ entry. Although Kosova Anthropologica (KA) has been a proud member of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) since January 2025, Kosova itself had not appeared among the indexed countries.

Following our request, DOAJ kindly updated the record. This is very a meaningful gesture of recognition during International Open Access Week 2025.

Kosova Anthropologica is a Diamond Open Access Journal, committed to advancing open and critical scholarship. It aims to serve as the voice of anthropology in Kosova and the wider region, fostering dialogue, visibility, and accessibility for our field.

We’re also excited that the University of Prishtina is moving decisively toward Open Access publishing, with newly approved publishing regulations and guidelines.

This is a key step in strengthening Kosova’s research visibility and contribution to global knowledge.

A peer-reviewed, open access journal in kosova, anthropology, anthropologica, kosovo, ethnology & ethnography.
