Results of the 1981 Society for Applied Anthropology Readership Survey
This report is based on the second readership survey completed by the Society for Applied Anthropology Publication Policy Committee (PPC). The first focused on Practicing Anthropology and was designed to elicit feedback regarding this publication's initial editorial policies and relation to the SfAA. The present survey was requested by the SfAA Executive Committee at their December 1980 meeting. The PPC was charged with providing feedback to the Executive Committee to help with their deliberations regarding: (1) the reappointment of the Practicing Anthropology editor at the spring 1981 Edinburgh meeting; and (2) the selection of an editor for Human Organization for the fall 1981 meeting in Los Angeles. While the former goal was achieved, the schedule for selecting an HO editor was advanced, thus precluding the PPC's latter charge. This final report has been prepared in the belief that it contains data relevant to the general planning and administrative functions of the SfAA Executive Committee, the PPC, and the two journal editors. The report furthers completes a PPC commitment to present the survey results to the SfAA membership.
