Signs is thrilled to announce the launch of Signs@40: Feminist Scholarship through Four Decades! To celebrate Signs fortieth year of publication, this project uses digital techniques to explore the journals archive, the changes in the journals content over time, and its role in shaping the field of Womens, Gender, and Feminist Studies. * A topic model of the Signs archive allows in-depth and sweeping exploration of the changes in the journal over time. * Eminent feminist scholars (including former, current, and future Editors of Signs) provide Editorial Commentaries to reflect on the history of Signs, provide insights into the changing landscape of feminist scholarship, and contextualize and interpret the topic model. * Curated Tables of Contents provide edited selections of articles in ten broad areas that have remained of enduring interest over Signs forty years of publication. * A Cocitation Network Graph draws from the Signs reference list to interactively and playfully reveal key texts and conversations that have shaped the field. * Finally, a Cover Art Gallery presents the striking designs and artworks that have graced the covers of Signs over the years.
