Japan Review

Aims and Scope

Japan Review is an interdisciplinary journal publishing cutting-edge empirical and theoretical research on Japan and its place in the world. Contributions of interest to the journal range across the humanities and social sciences, from arts, linguistics, literature, religion, and culture, to anthropology, history, politics, economics, international relations, and law.

Submissions are welcomed from both early-career and established scholars, and the journal particularly looks to foster research which deploys interdisciplinary and innovative methods.

In addition to research articles, the journal also publishes shorter research notes, review essays, and annotated translations of important texts, along with a generous assortment of book reviews with every issue.

Special Issues of the journal, and Special Sections within it, allow for a series of linked articles to collectively make broader methodological or thematic interventions of interest to the Japanese Studies field.

Japan Review is published annually, both online and in a handsome print format.

Peer Review Statement

All research articles in this journal are subject to a rigorous peer review process, based on initial editor screening and anonymous double-blind reviews by at least two external referees.
