Structure and Dynamics: eJournal of the Anthropological and Related Sciences is an open access, free, peer reviewed social science and sciences journal published by the California Digital Library eScholarship repositority of the University of California. It is indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Structure and dynamics is the name of a subfield in the social sciences, used particularly in social anthropology and sociology, which connotes that while structure is an important concept in social theory, contemporary social theory has long since moved beyond structural functionalism, which was identified with Radcliffe-Brown and Parsons. It is also an important subfield in the complexity sciences.
