South Asia Journal of South Asian Studies

期刊简介：As the world's senior journal of record for the South Asian region, South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies publishes peer-reviewed scholarly work covering the history, society, economy, culture, politics and international relations of the South Asian region, combining disciplinary depth with interdisciplinary accessibility. As a multidisciplinary journal, we aim to publish original, cutting-edge and conceptually interesting research that shapes and leads debates in South Asian studies. This means that we only consider papers that are related to the South Asia region (India, Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bhutan, Afghanistan and the diaspora). We expressly do not publish papers that do not address South Asia or its diaspora; are more firmly based in the social sciences (especially quantitative work); that rely on econometrics or other data-heavy/mathematical approaches; or whose conclusions are based in policy recommendations. Nor do we publish unsolicited book reviews or literature reviews. If your paper does not contribute to South Asian Studies and/or is not within one of the disciplines listed above, it is unlikely to be a good fit for us. If in doubt, we recommend that you send your paper to the journals you find yourself citing; that way, you can be sure that you are engaging with the kinds of discussions they are hosting. We highly recommend that you read through our 'avoiding desk rejection' guidelines , which also includes examples of the kind of work we publish, categorised broadly by discipline. The journal is published six times a year. We welcome individual submissions as well as proposals for special issues or sections on themed topics. In print since 1971, South Asia is published under the authority of the South Asian Studies Association of Australia (SASAA). Members of SASAA receive South Asia as part of their membership and free access to all back issues via the Taylor & Francis website. Please visit the SASAA website to inquire into becoming a member. Submission Process Submissions If you wish to submit a paper to South Asia , please click here for author instructions . Please note that our process is very competitive. We receive a high number of submissions annually, and so cannot consider papers that do not align with our aims and scope or follow our author instructions. To save you (and us!) time, please therefore read through the author instructions carefully before submitting your article . Peer Review Papers must pass through up to three layers of review: a preliminary review by the Editors; a more specialised review by an Associate Editor; and, if the paper is deemed to be important and relevant to the journal’s scope, it is sent out to two external reviewers who are specialists in the field. Wherever possible, we endeavour to have all external reviews completed within five months. After external review, papers are either accepted (almost invariably with revisions), or declined. All external reviews are double anonymised, meaning neither the author's nor the reviewer’s identities are known outside the editorial office. In the interests of enhancing scholarship in the field, papers that are not accepted will still be provided with readers’ reports. Papers that are only reviewed internally will not be provided with extensive feedback. Publication Timeline We endeavour to publish material expeditiously. Generally, papers accepted for publication currently take ca. twelve months to appear in print, and about eleven months in electronic form . We work with our publisher, Taylor & Francis, to market published papers through social media and academic networks in order to put them in the hands of eminent readers and to reach as broad an audience as possible. Our marketing is aimed at enhancing the journal’s impact on the field. Book Reviews Policy South Asia publishes original essays that evaluate important academic trends and debates in South Asian studies through an engagement with recently published scholarly books in the field . These book forums are also subect to external peer review. The journal does not publish individual book reviews, accept unsolicited suggestions for review, or review translations, fiction, poetry, or self-published books. Call for Papers Authors are welcome to submit their work to us at any time. We only issue CfPs for certain special sections and issues. Special Issues and Sections Proposals South Asia welcomes proposals for guest-edited special issues (full issue, i.e., 13 papers) or special sections (4–10 papers) that shape major conversations in South Asian studies. Proposals are considered biannually, generally in April and November. Proposals should include: Provisional title Guest Editor(s) name(s), contact information and 1-page CV(s) 2000-word concept note A brief summary of how the Guest Editors plan to assist their contributors (e.g. through writing workshops; proofreading; one-to-one meetings and feedback, etc) Abstracts and brief contributor bios A more detailed guideline for proposals, including information on the special issue/section process, is available here or from Mhairi Montgomery, mont@southasianstudies.org.au . Proposals should be sent to the same address. Call for Papers Guest Editors may also use our platform to issue a CFP for an accepted proposal. Any open CFPs will be listed on the journal's homepage .

【译文】作为南亚地区的世界顶级记录期刊，《南亚：南亚研究杂志》发表经过同行评审的学术著作，涵盖南亚地区的历史、社会、经济、文化、政治和国际关系，将学科深度与跨学科可及性相结合。作为一本多学科期刊，我们的目标是发表原创的、前沿的和概念上有趣的研究，这些研究影响和引导南亚研究的辩论。这意味着我们只考虑与南亚地区（印度、查谟和克什米尔、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡、马尔代夫、不丹、阿富汗和侨民）相关的论文。我们明确表示不会发表与南亚或其侨民无关的论文；更牢固地立足于社会科学（尤其是定量工作）；依赖计量经济学或其他大量数据/数学方法；或其结论基于政策建议。我们也不主动发表书评或文献评论。如果您的论文对南亚研究没有贡献和/或不属于上面列出的学科之一，那么它不太适合我们。如果有疑问，我们建议您将论文发送给您发现自己引用的期刊；这样，您就可以确定自己正在参与他​​们主持的各种讨论。我们强烈建议您仔细阅读我们的“避免案头拒绝”指南，其中还包括我们发布的作品类型的示例，按学科大致分类。该杂志每年出版六期。我们欢迎个人提交以及针对特殊问题或主题部分的建议。 《南亚》自 1971 年起在澳大利亚南亚研究协会 (SASAA) 的授权下出版。 SASAA 会员将南亚作为其会员资格的一部分，并可通过 Taylor & Francis 网站免费访问所有过刊。请访问 SASAA 网站查询成为会员的信息。提交流程 提交 如果您希望向南亚提交论文，请单击此处获取作者说明。请注意，我们的流程非常有竞争力。我们每年都会收到大量提交的论文，因此不能考虑不符合我们的目标和范围或不遵循作者指示的论文。为了节省您（和我们！）的时间，请在提交文章之前仔细阅读作者说明。同行评审论文必须经过最多三层评审：编辑的初步评审；由副主编进行更专业的审查；并且，如果论文被认为重要且与期刊范围相关，则会将其发送给两名该领域专家的外部审稿人。只要有可能，我们努力在五个月内完成所有外部审查。经过外部审查后，论文要么被接受（几乎总是经过修改），要么被拒绝。所有外部评论都是双重匿名的，这意味着编辑部之外不知道作者和审稿人的身份。为了加强该领域的学术研究，未被接受的论文仍将与读者报告一起提供。仅进行内部评审的论文将不会获得广泛的反馈。出版时间表 我们努力迅速出版材料。一般来说，目前接受发表的论文大约需要印刷版出版时间为 12 个月，电子版出版时间大约为 11 个月。我们与出版商 Taylor & Francis 合作，通过社交媒体和学术网络营销已发表的论文，以便将它们交到知名读者手中，并覆盖尽可能广泛的受众。我们的营销旨在增强期刊在该领域的影响力。书评政策南亚发表原创论文，通过与该领域最近出版的学术书籍的接触来评估南亚研究的重要学术趋势和辩论。这些图书论坛还接受外部同行评审。该杂志不发表个人书评，不接受未经请求的评论建议，也不评论翻译、小说、诗歌或自行出版的书籍。征文欢迎作者随时向我们提交作品。我们仅针对某些特殊部分和问题发布 CfP。南亚欢迎专题和专题提案
