Founded in 2004, Nebula disrupted academic publishing by leveraging the capabilities of the digital age.
The journal introduced a rapid peer-review-to-publication process, an agile house-style that suited multiple disciplines, and the capacity to produce global content from across the humanities and social sciences.
Nebula's articles frequently appear in university course readers worldwide, are republished in online or print collections, and are archived in research databases for perpetuity.
About the Journal
Nebula was an open-access, peer-reviewed journal publishing original scholarship across the humanities and social sciences. It operated from 2004 to 2011, producing seven volumes and reaching readers at universities across six continents.
The journal was notable for its genuinely international editorial board, its commitment to rapid publication, and its house style flexible enough to accommodate scholarship from literary studies, history, cultural theory, postcolonial studies, gender studies, and beyond.
Two companion publications were produced under the Nebula umbrella:
- African Nebula (ISSN 1837-7963) — the official peer-reviewed journal of the College of Humanities and Culture, Osun State University (2010–2014)
- nebu[lab] (ISSN 1838-1472) — an experimental companion publication
This site serves as the permanent archive of all Nebula publications.
