The Australian academic journal Oceania was founded in 1930. It publishes contributions in the field of social and cultural anthropology , and its primary regional orientation is to the peoples of Oceania , primarily comprising Australia , Melanesia , Polynesia , Micronesia and southeast Asia . The central concern of the journal lies with papers that are the product of sustained ethnographic research, but review articles and papers that have direct bearing on the central ethnographic concerns of the journal are also published. Correspondence and shorter comments are published at the discretion of the editor. There are typically five articles per issue and six to ten book reviews. As an example of the range of topics featured, a recent issue featured articles on land wars, land utilisation and aboriginal self determination. Occasionally, an issue is devoted to a single topic, comprising thematically connected collections of papers prepared by a guest editor. Oceania is a fully refereed journal which is published in print and online versions three times a year, in March, July and November. The current Editor is Neil Maclean anthropologist Neil Maclean of the Department of Anthropology of the University of Sydney .
