Farewell, Coriolis and Welcome Mainsheet

[trippwj]

Some of you may be familiar with the on-line, open access CORIOLIS: Interdisciplinary Journal of Maritime Studies. During a visit to their website today I found the following notice:

"The last issue of CORIOLIS was indeed the last issue of CORIOLIS. The journal has been a home for both seasoned and new scholars alike and the range of subject matter produced has been a treat. In the place of CORIOLIS, Mystic Seaport Museum will be producing a new peer-reviewed journal called MAINSHEET. See the description at https://www.mysticseaport.org/mainsheet/ CORIOLIS articles will be available at ijms.nmdl.org for the next year at which time the archives will transition to Mystic Seaport Museum's website. Thanks for your support over the last thirteen years."

 

From the Mainsheet website:

"In September 2023, Mystic Seaport Museum will launch an exciting new initiative, Mainsheet, a biannual peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal, available simultaneously online and in-print. The goal of Mainsheet is to fill a gap in refereed scholarship on maritime studies that has been left open by the dissolution of the American Neptune and other like-minded journals over the last 20 years. While several excellent journals still exist internationally, Mainsheet will be the only publication of its type produced by an American maritime museum. What will also set Mainsheet apart are: its multi-disciplinary perspectives; its accessibility to a broad global diverse audience on issues past, present, and future; and its freshness of design and distribution. The editorial board will represent a national and international team of invited expert scholars from various fields and partner institutions, with guest editors for special editions."
