Major Activities

Activity 2

Research and grants. The Seminary's Hartford Institute for Religion Research produces research and resources that support leadership and congregational development as practical, theological activity. Our research uses the perspectives and methods of the social sciences to study religious leadership and religious organizations and their social/cultural context. Our resources are published both traditionally and online. Our work is externally funded by, typically, multiyear grants. We currently have five major projects.

Activity 3

Scholarly journals. The Muslim World is an academic publication on the study of Islam and Christian Muslim relations that comes out four times per year. It is owned and edited by Hartford Seminary, and published by Wiley Blackwell. The annual MW report is issued in the February following the conclusion of the eyar being reported. Thus, the statistics i will cite herein have been taken from the 2011 annual report. The number of libraries with access to the MW increased significantly during 2011. Over 3600 institutions worldwide offered paid access to the latest articles in 2011 via traditional subsriptions and consortia licensing arrangements. The MW seeks wide distribution of its journal to libraries around the world, and as large a readership as possible. 53% of the MW subscriptions are now under license globally compared to 47% in 2010. We engage in no discriminatroy practivces regarding who has access to the MW, nor who is able to submit articles for possible publication. We do offer gratis subscriptions to libraries in developing countries upon their request through philanthropic licensing deals arranged through Wiley-Blackwell. Neither the publishers nor Hartford Seminary, as editor of the MW, deal directly with students in the publication of this Journal, unless they have chosen to submit articles for consideration. All articles, regardless by whom they have been submitted, are sent ot our referred peer editorial review board. The board selects articles on the basis of academic merit and subject suitability alone. Reviews In Religion Theology reviews most recent books in religion and theology and thereby offers an accessible, informed and up to date guide to contemporary developments and publishing in religion and theology, providing a forum in which the latest publications are evaluated and discussed. Hartford Seminary is in charge of editorship of the journal and Wiley Blackwell is in charge of the production, marketing, and distribution. Each year Hartford Seminary, under the editorship of Uriah Y. Kim is responsible for 4 issues and the total annual editroail budget is 664 pages. RRT has 163 institutional subscriptions, and over 2190 institutions worldwide have access to the journal via the Wiley Blackwell sales programs.
