Bilan d’une première décennie

Abstract

In order to offer our readers and the colleagues who have contributed to the journal a better understanding of the identity and the values of Anthropologie & Santé, this text recalls the reasons that incited a collective of researchers to create the journal in 2010, and the decisions taken regarding the editorial line, the editorial work, and the dissemination strategy. The article provides a detailed description of the evaluation procedures, the organization of editorial work, and the material and financial functioning of the journal in order to offer transparency to the authors and the readers, but also to show its extreme dependence on public research funding, and on the work of the higher education and research personnel. A retrospective analysis of the scientific production of the journal looks firstly at the national and international readership of the journal, before comparing the themes explored in the special issues and in the articles of Anthropologie & Santé during these ten years with the themes of the Anglophone journals in the same disciplinary field.
