Asia Major welcomes submittals in all fields of Chinese studies, including history, literature, philosophy and law from all periods of Chinese history. After preliminary screening by the Editor, manuscripts are sent out to at least one member of the editorial board and to an outside referee for review. Reviews by outside referees are anonymous.
Submittal requirements:
Upper limit is about 65 pages. Both main text and notes must be double-spaced. All citations must be complete, and all text complete.

Please include an abstract of your manuscript and a cover letter with your postal address, e-mail address, and affiliation, but make sure that your name does not appear in the manuscript itself.
