Abstract
The Journal of Contemporary Ethnography’s (JCE) history has been marked by continuity and change. Throughout its thirty-three-year legacy, it has remained the premier outlet for realist, analytical ethnographies. Data on manuscript activity over the past five years indicate that JCE’s acceptance rate is approximately 20 percent. A comparison of data from 1990 to 1994 with 2000 to 2004 reveals several noteworthy trends in the social profile of JCE authors.

There has also been an increase in the proportion of graduate students publishing in JCE. Littlechange was observed in the proportion of single-authored articles.
