We are excited to announce that a new offer is now available for Pluto Journals via Lyrasis!
Beginning in 2025, Lyrasis has partnered with Pluto Journals to provide supporter membership subscriptions to Pluto Journals catalogue of peer-reviewed, Diamond open access (OA) social science journals. The Diamond OA status of these journals means that there is never a charge to read and never a charge, or APC, to publish in a Pluto Journals title.
Pluto Journals is a small, independent, London-based publisher with editors, authors and readers from around the world. They publish a range of peer reviewed, radical, scholarly journals that are at the cutting edge of Social Science research, and they are the first social science publisher to make the full transition from subscription to Diamond Open Access.
Pluto Journals titles cover the research and exploration into many of the important societal issues of our day such as: social justice, international law, Arab and Islamic studies, trade, race, African studies and decolonization, political economy, and labor. Their Journals are also international with editors in every continent: Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America.
