The Journal of Asian Studies is the flagship journal of the Association for Asian Studies, publishing peer-reviewed academic scholarship in the field of Asian studies.[1] With an acceptance rate of approximately 6%, it upholds rigorous standards in the evaluation and publication of scholarly research.[2] Each issue of the Journal of Asian Studies circulates over 8,200 copies, reaching a readership across the academic community and beyond.[3]
The journal was established in 1941 as The Far Eastern Quarterly, changing to its current title in September 1956. Before 2023, the journal was published by Cambridge University Press.[4] Published by Duke University Press since 2023, under the guidance of its editorial board, it presents empirical and multidisciplinary work on Asia, spanning the arts, history, literature, the social sciences, and cultural studies. In addition to research, current interest, and state-of-the-field articles, a large section of the journal is devoted to book reviews.[5]
