About IVBS
International Voices in Biblical Studies (IVBS) is an SBL peer-reviewed series that publishes monographs, volumes of collected essays, conference proceedings, and single articles meant to further scholarship in biblical studies. Its main goal is to make the excellent work of colleagues in under-resourced parts of the world known all over the globe, including the traditional centers of biblical scholarship in (mainly) Europe and North America.
IVBS encourages in particular submissions from scholars in the present seven international regions for which it has editorial boards: Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East-South Asia, Northeast Asia, Pacific, and Southeast Asia. Interregional collaborations are also welcome. IVBS publishes works in English and in any other language for which its editors can find qualified peer reviewers.
IVBS is an electronic open-access publication. Any work published in IVBS is freely available to anyone in perpetuity. Libraries and individuals have the right to download and print copies of any IVBS publication for free, but not for profit. SBL will hold the copyright on all IVBS publications. Scholars publishing in IVBS will be able to reach a very large international and varied readership that is not restricted to individuals and institutions with significant financial resources. These publications are also available through the SBL print-on-demand program.
IVBS is meant to foster the kind of international, multi-way conversation and cooperation envisaged by the International Cooperation Initiative (ICI) of the SBL. In fact, IVBS complements another ICI initiative, whereby an increasing list of SBL publications is made freely available in PDF to scholars and institutions in under-resourced areas of the world.
