Focus and Scope
WOMEN IN JUDAISM: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL is an academic, refereed journal published exclusively on the Internet, and devoted to scholarly debate on gender-related issues in Judaism. The ultimate aim of the journal is to promote the reconceptualization of the study of Judaism, by acknowledging and incorporating the roles played by women, and by encouraging the development of alternative research paradigms. Cross-methodological and interdisciplinary, the journal does not promote a fixed ideology, and welcomes a variety of approaches.
Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal is an independent, free, full-text, refereed e-journal, available exclusively on the Web. We do not have subscription fees, nor do we intend to have them in the future.
Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal is indexed by Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents, published by the University of Wisconsin System; ATLAS (a project of the American Theological Library Association); Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory; RAMBI- The Index of Articles on Jewish Studies by the Jewish National and University Library at the Hebrew University; Index of Jewish Periodicals; MLA International Bibliography; MLA Directory of Periodical; DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals); and Contemporary Women’s Issues, Infotrac CPI.Q., Expanded Academic ASAP, General OneFile -- distributed by Gale Cengage Learning.
