MISSION. World Cultures provides scholars and students of culture with the benefits of a fifty year old tradition in cross‑cultural research ‑ access to most of the important published and unpublished comparative research materials on human cultures by established leaders in the field as well as new contributors. These materials are published in succinct form, commonly as aggregate cultural data in coded form on a large sample of societies, interpreted with the aid of detailed codebooks. Auxiliary materials include sampling frames, bibliographies, descriptions of societal foci, and programs for displaying relationships or distributions in tables, maps, or other forms. The journal does not include the ethnographic publications from which most of the coded data are derived via expert readers, judges, or coders. The provision of such materials is the function of a library or archival system, such as the Human Relations Area Files. Besides ethnographic data, World Cultures publishes data from such diverse sources as historical, economic, or political analyses, weather stations or satellites, such as are applicable to ethnographically described societies and their ecosystems.

The electronic aspect of the journal provides text and numerical file data in a form for manipulation by electronic word processors, statistical packages, and graphics software. General purpose software may occasionally be distributed with the journal under the shareware concept. The reader may tailor the journal to his/her own needs, programs, and applications. Special purpose or instructional software may occasionally be provided such as is made available by contributors. Data files are provided in both ASCII and SPSS for Windows format

POLICY. World Cultures welcomes articles, data, and comparative research material, dealing with any aspect of human groups, from social scientists of any country. Publication of any comparative database, regional or worldwide, will be considered on the basis of scope and quality. Submissions of programs and teaching materials are welcomed and will be considered from the viewpoint of the evolving skills of the general readership. Brief communications on research, coding, sources, and other materials of interest to comparative researchers are welcomed.

CONTRIBUTIONS. Codes, articles, or other materials should be submitted in printed form or on diskettes, preferably in WordPerfect format. Authors are free to republish material in other journals. Send contributions to J. Patrick Gray, Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI 53201, email: jpgray@uwm.edu

SUBSCRIPTION. The subscription fee is $30 per volume, which applies to current as well as past volumes. In addition, a starter kit consisting of the MAPTAB program together with all variables measured for the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample from prior volume will be given to new subscribers at no cost. Student subscriptions are $20 annually. Send subscriptions requests to: World Cultures, Dr. William Divale, Social Sciences, York College, 94-20 Guy R. Brewer Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11451, USA.

WORLD CULTURES authorizes the user to make archival copies of the Journal for the sole purpose of backing up your diskette files and software and protecting your investment from loss.

Contents And How To Use This Issue

This issue of WORLD CULTURES contains new codes for the Ethnographic Atlas (AT10.DAT, AT10.COD), Douglas Whiteís entailment analysis program, Zeitlinís cross-national study of work values, Hedges and Caulkinís study of Irish identity (accompanied by the data set), papers awarded the undergraduate student (Maltby) and the graduate student (Thibaudeau) awards at the 1999 Northeastern Anthropological Association meetings, and a note by White on replication and kinship terminology. The accompanying CD contains a complete version of the Ethnographic Atlas data set updated with the codes introduced in this issue. The MAPTABB program is also included. The Ethnographic Atlas data may be copied to a single directory on your hard drive as a whole, or you may just copy the following five new or changed files to your current directory containing the data base: AT10.DAT, AT10.COD, ATL, ATL.ORG and ATLSCDBK.

The directory on the CD containing Whiteís entailment analysis program (sea.exe) also includes a test data file (test.dat). The CD directory relevant to the Hedges and Caulkins paper contains their data in ANTHROPAC data files. The files Blirish.##d and Blirish.##h contain the judgments as to the ìIrishnessî of the scenarios, while the files Blgood.##h and Blgood.##d hold judgments on the desirability of the scenarios. Dr. Caulkins will contribute a paper on Scottish identity to our next issue. The next issue will also carry a new article by Dr. Zeitlin accompanied with the data set used in both articles and by programs to create the ìbullís eyeî diagrams in this paper. Finally, the Murdock directory holds the ìkintype.txtî ASCII file containing the original letter codes from the article that forms the basis of the AT10.DAT and AT10.COD files. Kintype.txt is organized by cultural province number and has codes from a number of societies that are not found in the Ethnographic Atlas.
