To celebrate, I wanted to share some history of the journal, highlighting how JAMS got started!

In HUGE news, JAMS is now listed in Academic Search Complete through EBSCO!

Research showed that most research guides list this resource for #anime studies! (doi.org/10.35492/doc... )

This is also a common database subscription across US colleges, so this means more researchers finding JAMS!

JAMS Volume FIVE will be out next month!

To celebrate, I wanted to share the most popular #anime
articles we've published:
