About the journal
The American Oriental Society is the oldest learned society in the United States devoted to a particular field of scholarship. The Society was founded in 1842, preceded only by such distinguished organizations of general scope as the American Philosophical Society (1743), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1780), and the American Antiquarian Society (1812). From the beginning its aims have been humanistic. The encouragement of basic research in the languages and literatures of Asia has always been central in its tradition. This tradition has come to include such subjects as philology, literary criticism, textual criticism, paleography, epigraphy, linguistics, biography, archaeology, and the history of the intellectual and imaginative aspects of Oriental civilizations, especially of philosophy, religion, folklore and art. The scope of the Society's purpose is not limited by temporal boundaries: All sincere students of man and his works in Asia, at whatever period of history are welcomed to membership.
Instructions to Authors
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Final copy (including computer-driven copy) of all manuscripts must be submitted on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, of a weight not less than 15 pounds, double spaced (including block quotations), and with margins of at least 1 1/4 inches on all sides. Font-size should be 10-point or larger. Footnotes must be double spaced, placed on separate pages at the end of the manuscript, and be of the same size type as the main text. Words and phrases intended for italic output should in the manuscript either be underlined or represented in a scaled italic font.
Bibliographies and citations must conform to the Journal's style sheet (also available in PDF), updated 2005, copies of which are also available by request from any of the editors or from the Society's office. On questions of italicization, punctuation, capitalization, etc., the Journal follows in general the Chicago Manual of Style.
Though the Journal places no limitation on the length of manuscripts it will consider, preference is given to those of 40 pages or less, including footnotes (ca. 15,000 words). Longer manuscripts may be subject to delay in publication. Articles, review articles, and brief communications must be submitted in triplicate and accompanied by an abstract of ca. 100 words. Book reviews may be submitted in duplicate. All manuscripts should be sent directly to the appropriate sectional editor, whose address appears on this page. The Journal follows standard peer-review practices.
While preliminary drafts (for assessment, etc.) may be submitted which do not conform to the requirements stated above, it is the policy of the Journal not to accept a final manuscript that does not conform. Acceptance of an article for publication may be made conditional on submission of proper copy.
The Journal is able, at the present time, to print Chinese and Japanese characters, and Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac scripts in their standard orthographies. Transliteration is also acceptable. Other scripts must be transliterated in a standard and consistent way. Artwork can, under certain circumstances, be accommodated.
25 offprints will be sent to authors of articles, review articles, and brief communications; 6 offprints to authors of book reviews, and 2 offprints to authors of brief reviews. It is not possible to take orders for extra offprints.
