I first assembled the
Alphabetical list of Open Access Journals in Ancient Studies in observance of
Open Access Week 2009. It was based on journals cited in
AWOL since its beginning in January 2009 . At that time the list included more than two hundred titles - a surprisingly large number - or so I thought at the time. In an effort to make the
List canonical and comprehensive, I began adding additional journals in groups of twenty. All (or nearly all) of these have been accessible via
Abzu for varying lengths of time. This process offered me the opportunity to verify all the links and repair the broken ones. On February 17, 2010 the list reached six hundred titles, and the post date was updated. On July 7, 2010 the list reached seven hundred titles, and the post date was updated. And now, on its first anniversary, and in honor of
Open Access Week 2010, I am again updated the post date, though the link remains stable. At that time I removed the version history from the main list and moving it here. On May 5, 2011, with the addition of
Engramma the list reached nine hundred titles and the post date was updated. On September 28, 2011,
the list reached one thousand titles, and the post date was updated on October 1st, 2011. On February 14, 2012, with the addition of
Arqueología y Territorio: Revista del Programa de Doctorado "Arqueología y Territorio", the list reached eleven hundred titles, and the post date was updated.
I trust that users of the list will offer suggestions for correction of errors and addition of new titles in the comment field available at the bottom of the main list at
