The "Features" section of each issue of Education About Asia will address a specific theme (see below for a listing of scheduled themes).

Prospective authors of feature-length articles are strongly advised to be aware of the focus of each thematic issue before developing a manuscript. Although feature articles that are unrelated to the theme of a given issue will occasionally be published, it is probable that there will often be a long time lapse between acceptance of these types of manuscripts and their publication.

Prospective authors should bear in mind, however, that the "Resources" section of EAA will continue to include essays and reviews about a variety of topics. Authors are welcome to submit resource essays and reviews on topics dealing with any aspect of Asia.

Regardless of the type of article a prospective author is considering submitting, he or she should carefully read the author guidelines.

As is the case with all manuscripts, please send electronic versions to the EAA editorial office at edast@utc.edu.
