Institute For The Study Of Man Inc

The promotion and exchange of research pertaining to the origin and evolution of man, culture, and society with special focus on the Indo-European language family, primarily by the print & online publication of academic papers in the peer-reviewed, 52-year-old Journal of Indo-European Studies [JIES] and the JIES Monograph Series. It's not possible to accurately estimate the number of scholars and members of the general public who benefit from the organization's publications, because the institution and university libraries that subscribe directly to and purchase these publications allow access to all faculty, students, and visitors. Additionally, the organization offers subscriptions at heavily reduced rates for private individuals. The research published by the organization is also available digitally through contracting consolidators and copyright clearing houses. Moreover, most content is eventually uploaded to open-access sites, available to all in perpetuity.
