Oceania is an English language Australian scientific journal . Her full title was initially Oceania. A Journal Devoted to the Study of the Native Peoples of Australia, New Guinea and the Islands of the Pacific Ocean . It was founded in 1930, appears in Sydney and publishes articles in the fields of social and cultural anthropology.
Oceania is primarily regionally oriented towards the peoples of Oceania , particularly Australia , Melanesia , Polynesia , Micronesia and Southeast Asia . The central concern of the journal is articles that are the result of ongoing ethnographic research. Review articles and essays that are directly related to the central ethnographic concerns of the journal are also published. Correspondence and shorter comments are published at the editor's discretion. There are typically five articles and six to ten book reviews in one issue . An example of the range of topics covered is a recent edition, in which articles on land wars, land use and Aboriginal self-determination are dealt with.
Occasionally, an issue is dedicated to a single topic, which then includes a thematically linked collection of essays prepared by a guest editor.
The peer-reviewed Oceania magazine appears three times a year, in March, July and November, in a print and an online version.
The current editor is anthropologist Neil Maclean of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Sydney . Former editors include Alfred Radcliffe-Brown , Adolphus Peter Elkin , Peter Lawrence and Sir Raymond Firth .
