Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland: Nomina The society’s journal Nomina (ISSN 0141 6340) is published annually. All submissions are subject to a rigorous and anonymous peer review process. The editor for volumes 38–41 is David Parsons, and the editors from volume 42 are Eleanor Rye and Paul Tempan. The editorial board consists of John Baker, Jayne Carroll, Alison Grant, Carole Hough, Peter McClure, Kay Muhr, Oliver Padel, and Maggie Scott. Instructions for submissions are in the Nomina style-sheet. Items for inclusion in the annual Nomina bibliographies may be sent to biblio@snsbi.org.uk. Below is the table of contents for all issues. The same data is available as a fully typeset pdf file, the latter sorted by author. Most papers are available for free download as pdf files — look for the “pdf” indication on the left-hand side of this webpage, before the page number. In some cases reviews and other back-matter are lumped together in one file — look at the pdf filename to identify these. The two most recent annual volumes are excluded from this free offering.
