The International Institute for Asian Studies publishes The Newsletter four times a year. With a worldwide circulation of nearly 13,000 institutes and individuals in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia, The Newsletter is a forum for scholars to share commentary and opinion; research essays; book, journal and website reviews; artwork; and announcements of events, projects and conferences with colleagues in academia and beyond. | Take a free subscription
Please keep our broad readership in mind. We favour articles that place research in context, contain clear argument and appeal to the intelligent layman. We also occasionally publish opinion pieces: articles not directly based on empirical research, but discussions that are relevant to current affairs, research methods, education, political developments, etc.
Contributions do not go through a process of peer review – responsibility for copyrights, facts and opinions expressed in the publication rests with the authors.
Contributions should not have been published elsewhere, or have been submitted to another publication for consideration. If a contribution has already been published in a (substantially) different structure, then please inform the editor of this so that the appropriate references can be made.
Authors interested in contributing are strongly encouraged to read previous issues first, to become familiar with our style.
Contributions must be written in grammatically correct and clear English, and have preferably already been (professionally) edited. Submissions with severe language issues will be returned for revision.
Please submit all contributions by email to iiasnews@iias.nl, with documents attached. Images should be attached separately.
Please contact the editor Sonja Zweegers with any questions or to receive previous issues: iiasnews@iias.nl

Book, journal, film and website reviews (the Review)
Publications available for review can be found on our website www.NewAsiaBooks.org. Alternatively you may submit reviews of books, journals, films or websites of your own choosing.
Please note: there are no deadlines for submitting reviews. Reviews are generally evaluated in the order they are received – 'First come First serve'. As the publication time nears for each issue, authors will be informed if/when their review will be published in The Newsletter or if it will only be posted online at www.NewAsiaBooks.org
Reviews of books received from us must be submitted to the editor, within 4 months of receipt of the book, and may not be published anywhere else.
Reviews of books in your own possession can be posted directly onto the NewAsiaBooks website, by registering as a user. These reviews will then no longer be considered for publication in The Newsletter.
