Phylon, the peer-reviewed journal that W.E.B. Du Bois founded at Atlanta University in 1940. Phylon has moved from a quarterly to a semi-annual publication and each issue will be defined by a special topic of general interest to faculty in the humanities and social sciences. With each volume we will encourage joint authorship by academics from various disciplines so that not only is the theme of the article presented, but it will be discussed in a Du Bosian interdisciplinary fashion taking into account historical, political and socio-economic interpretations. We believe that it is time to recognize that many of us in nominally separate fields and disciplines are working on the same problem from slightly different angles. The full text version of Phylon is only available to users within Atlanta University Center. Individuals outside of the Atlanta University Center may contact may contact the editor-in-chief, Dr. Obie Clayton (oclayton@cau.edu), for subscription access options.

The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education was founded in 1993 as a scholarly publication whose purpose was "simply to show major racial imbalances and leave competitive markets and other nonlegislative forces to operate on the information provided." Estimating that African American families spend about $3 billion a year on tuition, room, board, and books, JBHE editors conclude that "surely, for this sum of money[,] [black parents] are entitled to have clear and detailed information about which institutions have successfully integrated their campuses and provide a hospitable educational and social environment for black students." Following the death of JBHE founder Ted Cross in 2010, the journal ceased as a print publication and moved to an online-only format consisting of a weekly publication, JBHE Weekly Bulletin, that is delivered via e-mail, along with a very robust web site. Like the print journal that preceded it, the web site features news articles that address the history and current state of African Americans in higher education, but its real strength lies in the wealth of statistical data that it presents. Data from a myriad sources-federal and state governments, colleges and universities, and other private institutions-are prominently featured throughout the site's categories, which include breaking news, HBCU news, research and studies, enrollments, racial gaps, and campus racial incidents. Rankings, charts, and graphs that cover everything from enrollments and education attainment to academic success in the professions, to most-frequently cited authors, can be found here. Its "Statistic of the Week" section reports data on the relative standing of blacks to whites in American society. The site also regularly includes notices of new books and articles, abstracts of new research reports with links to downloadable content when available, appointments, tenure decisions and promotions, minority-related grants, job and fellowship opportunities, and notable honors and awards. The weekly bulletin and web site are both open access. Highly
