This document collates data produced for a test study on the research ‘50 years of Anthropology’, which started in 2013 through a generous British Academy grant received by the Anthropological Index Online. The research aimed at giving an overview of anthropological production in the world over time to identify gaps and illustrating trends and foci of regional interest.
The research was based on a qualitative and quantitative examination of the articles published in specialised literature indexed AIO from 797 journal titles in anthropology and related disciplines held in its databases.
This document is the first of two presentations and an article that cumulatively show the fluctuations of interest in specific anthropological topics about different parts of the world. It summarises a test case study about anthropological production related to Great Britain that was presented at the 2013 Manchester conference of the 17th World Congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES).
The presentation generated great public interest and guided the researchers in their thinking about the issues professional anthropologists raised about the aims and objectives of this project.
