(Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context)

A Biannual Peer-Reviewed Scopus Journal

We are currently accepting essay-length manuscripts and substantial book reviews dealing with the full range of issues and perspectives of cultural studies in Asia for our September 2018 issue.

Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context is a SCOPUS journal covering cultural studies in the Asian context, including Korea, China, Japan, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Indonesia. From time to time, we may also chose to examine issues in the wider Asian context. We take this to include South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), the Asian countries of the former Soviet Union (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and the region of West Asia (the Middle East).

Peer Review Policy

Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and the author are concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. Authors should expect to have the reviewer’s comments within approximately 6-8 weeks.

The Editor will make an initial review of all received manuscripts, and only those manuscripts that meet the journal’s editorial standards and mandate will be sent for outside review. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two referees. A final editorial decision will be reached after the editor is in receipt of the reviewer reports.

Article Types

Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context publishes original essays, book reviews, and the occasional translation of essays or book chapters that the editorial committee feels to be of significance.
