Overview
Mission
The promotion and exchange of research pertaining to the origin and evolution of man, culture, and society with special focus on the Indo-European language family, primarily by the print & online publication of academic papers in the peer-reviewed, 52-year-old Journal of Indo-European Studies [JIES] and the JIES Monograph Series. It's not possible to accurately estimate the number of scholars and members of the general public who benefit from the organization's publications, because the institution and university libraries that subscribe directly to and purchase these publications allow access to all faculty, students, and visitors. Additionally, the organization offers subscriptions at heavily reduced rates for private individuals. The research published by the organization is also available digitally through contracting consolidators and copyright clearing houses. Moreover, most content is eventually uploaded to open-access sites, available to all in perpetuity.
What it reported doing in 2024
Print & digital archival and on-going distribution of academic research, including processing requests for copyright permissions and individual articles: 51 years of The Journal of Indo-European Studies [JIES] content (articles, reviews, In Memoriam pieces), ISSN 0092-2323, providing an open-access full index (jies.org); 71 titles of the JIES Monograph Series, including the 2024 reprinting of pertinent title No. 67 "Revisiting Dispersions: Celtic and Germanic ca. 400 BC - ca. 400 AD, Proceedings of the International Interdisciplinary Conference held at Dolenjski muzej, Novo mesto, Slovenia; October 12th - 14th, 2018, ISBN 978-0-9845353-7-8; Other print resources
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
