One of CHAM’s main focus is the publishing of scientific research, aiming at disclosing relevant and original academic studies. Presently, CHAM has over 80 titles, whose authorship is not exclusively of the Centre’s researchers. On the contrary, CHAM welcomes (and encourages) many contributions from outside of its community. CHAM has currently five journals of international scope – Anais de História de Além-Mar, Cultura, Bulletin of Portuguese/Japanese Studies and Res Antiquitatis -, the first three being indexed in the main databases. Our journals have editorial boards composed mostly by external and foreign specialists, they are peer-reviewed according with international standards and they publish mainly articles of external researchers. In addition, Culture, BPJS (2nd series) and Hathor (3rd series) are also available in open access. The Centre also publishes collections of studies and historical sources – Estudos & Documentos, Cadernos de Cultura, Teses e ArqueoArte – which aim at disclosing the results of research projects and papers presented in scientific meetings. Furthermore, CHAM also co-edits and funds publications from other scientific institutions. These publications are referred to as Extra Collections.
