The MAT collective
Content
The MAT collective at the Edinburgh Centre for Medical Anthropology (EdCMA) provides editorialship for the open-access journal Medicine Anthropology Theory (MAT), the only indexed open-access journal in the field. As a leading open-access journal in the social sciences and humanities, MAT does not charge any article processing fees to its authors, nor does it charge readers or their institutions for accessing its content.
Over the past months, much collaborative thought, effort and energy has been put into this transition, stablising our ethos statement, a new International Advisory Board, establishing new editorial work processes and communications, editing and publishing cutting edge research in medical anthropology and close fields, and ensuring MAT is recognised by major indexers, thus increasing the reputation, reach, and impact of our journal content.
The Collective aims to continue expanding on the original editors’ global vision for the journal, consolidating it as an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable model of scholarly publishing.
