Asian Studies: Journal of Critical Perspectives welcomes themed issues comprising at least four articles, including but not limited to, papers in a conference panel. Apart from the journal’s standard guidelines, the following terms will guide the production of the themed issue.  

Themed Issue Guidelines

• Themed issues must consist of at least 4 and a maximum of five full-length articles, with 6,000-10,000 words each, including references.
• Each article must have an abstract (150–200 words).
• The representative of the group must send a concept note (300–500 words) containing the proposed theme, and a brief discussion of the focus and content of the articles. If the papers have been presented previously in a panel/conference/workshop, include in the concept note details of where the papers have been delivered (conference name, date, conference organizer, venue, etc.).
• Submitted articles must be original. They must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration for publication in another journal or book. Papers under contract in, for example, a conference or workshop will not be accepted. By submitting the articles, the authors attest that submitted articles are original; have not been published (previously or forthcoming) elsewhere, and must not be under consideration for publication in another journal, book, or other publication projects.
• Asian Studies reserves the right to reject a manuscript that does not comply with these and other journal guidelines.
