The GIGA journals, our open access publications at SAGE, were able to further increase their reach in 2022. This is shown by recently published impact factors and rankings among renowned Area Studies journals.
The recently published impact factors (referring to 2022) attest to the resounding success of the journals in the GIGA Journal Family, especially of the three journals that are indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) or the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI):
Africa Spectrum indexed in SSCI: impact factor of 2.0 (up from 1.81 last year), rank 17 of 84 among Area Studies journals (up from rank 21 last year).
Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs indexed in SSCI: impact factor of 2.5 (up from 1.89 last year), rank 9 of 84 among Area Studies journals (up from rank 15 last year).
GIGA President Amrita Narlikar together with the entire GIGA Executive Board thanks the GIGA editors and their external co-editors for this very successful development of the GIGA Journal Family.
The GIGA is proud of its four journals and we are pleased with the successful cooperation with SAGE. We guarantee Open Access in the "Platinum Standard" (free of charge for readers and authors) and will continue to do so in the future.
SAGE Publishing, one of the world’s leading independent and academic publishers, and the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) have recently partnered to publish GIGA's open access journals.
Since 2009, the institute has published all its in-house publications as Open Access. The contents have thereby been accessible online and free of charge worldwide. In 2019, the GIGA thus celebrates 10 years of Open Access for its four journals, which have recently begun to be published in cooperation with SAGE Publishing.
The GIGA publishes its research results primarily as articles in prestigious journals and as books with international university presses. Get an overview of these publications and our own series below.
Outstanding contributions by researchers from all over the world feature in the GIGA’s four journals. The GIGA Journal Family is presided over by Sage, maintaining the ”platinum standard” of the Open Access model.
The GIGA strives to publish research results as promptly as possible according to the Open Access principle. Open Access represents free online access to research results – without financial, technical, or legal barriers.
