Published in February, May, August, and November, The Journal of Asian Studies (JAS) has long been recognized as the most authoritative and prestigious publication in the field of Asian studies.
This quarterly has been published regularly since 1941, offering Asianists a wealth of information unavailable elsewhere.
JAS publishes the very best empirical and multidisciplinary work on Asia, spanning the arts, history, literature, the social sciences, and cultural studies. Experts around the world turn to this quarterly journal for the latest in-depth scholarship on Asia’s past and present, for its extensive book reviews, and for its state-of-the-field essays on established and emerging topics. With coverage reaching from South and Southeast Asia to China, Inner Asia, and Northeast Asia, JAS welcomes broad comparative and transnational studies as well as essays emanating from fine-grained historical, cultural, political, or literary research and interpretation. The JAS also publishes clusters of papers representing new and vibrant discussions on specific themes and issues.
All current AAS members receive the print and online Journal of Asian Studies as a benefit of membership. |

AAS is delighted to announce a partnership with Cambridge University Press to publish The Journal of Asian Studies (JAS). The February 2007 issue of the Journal of Asian Studies (Volume 66:1) was the first to be published under the Cambridge imprint—and the first to be published simultaneously in an online format offering full-text PDF and HTML articles.
AAS members now have the benefit of accessing JAS online. To access online content, you must be a current AAS member and login.
In addition to the many advantages inherent to the online JAS—fully searchable tables of contents and abstracts, ease of downloading and printing of articles and citations, etc.—the online JAS will allow access to JAS multimedia supplements—video, music, and digital images can easily be uploaded and linked to relevant articles.
Our partnership with Cambridge University Press is a most promising development for JAS and for our Association. We especially look forward to seeing JAS reach more of our colleagues and libraries in Asia. This expanded reach will bring us more readers and contributors, and should lead scholars from around the world to join our Association as members.
