University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Press<\/a> is partnering with the Easter Island Foundation to publish Rapa Nui Journal<\/em><\/a> (RNJ<\/abbr>), which serves as a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities and social sciences on Easter Island and the Eastern Polynesian region. Abstracts for RNJ<\/abbr> articles are published in English, Spanish or Rapanui.<\/p>\n

“We are very excited to work with the Easter Island Foundation to publish Rapa Nui Journal<\/em> and to assist in managing their membership process,” said Pamela Wilson<\/strong>, journals manager at UH<\/abbr> Press. “We look forward to connecting with Foundation members and bringing their journal to a larger audience.”<\/p>\n

Through UH<\/abbr> Press, content from the annual journal, last published in October 2016, may now be read online at Project MUSE<\/a>. The next issue is due out in 2018. Readers may also sign up online to receive free e-mail alerts of new RNJ<\/abbr> content posted on Project MUSE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“As a nonprofit publisher known for our publications in Pacific Island studies, we feel particularly compatible with the mission of the Easter Island Foundation,” said Joel Cosseboom<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> Press interim director and publisher.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, UH<\/abbr> Press will offer the foundation assistance with managing its member database, journal archives, marketing, subscriptions, warehousing and shipping. Easter Island Foundation memberships, RNJ<\/abbr> subscriptions and RNJ<\/abbr> contributor guidelines may be found on the UH<\/abbr> Press web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The Easter Island Foundation is pleased to be welcomed into the family of publications of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Press as they assume the publication of the Rapa Nui Journal,” said David L. Rose, president of the Easter Island Foundation. “Rapa Nui Journal has a long history of supporting the publication and dissemination of Polynesian research starting with the hand-typed Rapa Nui Notes over 30 years ago.”<\/p>\n

RNJ<\/abbr> joins other established Pacific Island studies journals published by UH<\/abbr> Press, including The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs<\/em><\/a>, Asian Perspectives: The Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific<\/em><\/a> and Oceanic Linguistics<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
