About the journal
The journal seeks to deepen understanding and further the pursuit of knowledge about the peoples and cultures of Asia. We seek to facilitate intellectual exchange between Asia and the rest of the world, and particularly welcome submissions from scholars based in Asia. The journal presents formal essays and analyses, research reports, and critical book reviews relating to a wide range of topical categories, including: narratives, performances, and other forms of cultural representation; popular religious concepts; vernacular approaches to health and healing; local knowledge; collective memory and uses of the past

AE Manuscript Submission & Style Guide – 1
Introduction [return to top menu]
Prospective authors should follow this guide carefully to ensure that the processing of submissions is as efficient as possible. We reserve the right to return manuscripts that are not prepared in accordance with these instructions.
1. Manuscript Submission [return to top menu]
Asian Ethnology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles, research notes, research materials, review articles, and books reviews. The preferred length of articles is 6000–8000 words. All manuscripts are subject to editorial modification with permission of the author. Manuscripts submitted for consideration should not have been previously published, or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. If a manuscript has been accepted for publication in Asian Ethnology, we ask authors not to distribute the manuscript before publication.
Manuscript submissions should be sent as email attachments, in either Micro-soft Word or Rich Text Format, to the address above. The author’s name, which will be deleted for peer-review, should appear only on the first page. All submitted manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout and limited to 10,000 words, including notes and references. Please include an abstract of up to 150 words, along with 5 key words that most effectively evoke the article’s content. If a submission is accepted the author will be asked to provide a short biographical statement of up to 75 words.
Manuscripts, editorial correspondence, and book review enquiries should be addressed to:
Editors, Asian Ethnology18 Yamazato-choShowa-kuNagoya 466–8673Japan, tel: (81)–52–832–3111 (ext. 3468)email: dorman@nanzan-u.ac.jp
Regarding style and format, while Asian Ethnology generally follows The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, the journal also follows other conventions (consult “2. Stylistic Conventions” below). Authors are advised to consult previous issues of Asian Folklore Studies, such as (Vol. 66, 2007), accessible online at http://nirc.nanzanu.ac.jp/publications/afs/ (click on “Back Issues On-Line [from 1942]) regarding stylistic issues.
1.1 Preparation of Manuscripts [return to top menu]
Manuscripts for consideration in Asian Ethnology are evaluated for content and style. Papers must be clearly written in English and checked thoroughly by a native speaker. Failure to do this could delay the processing of the manuscript.
AE Manuscript Submission & Style Guide – 2
a. Requirements for initial stage [return to top menu]
The manuscript must contain the following
contact details (including mailing and email address)
brief biographical sketch
a title page with a 150-word summary and 5–6 keywords
separate lists of illustrations, tables, and graphs (with captions and acknowledgements)
full text matter including notes
full reference list including URLs and access dates for all web sites.
The author should also submit all permissions, in writing, regarding the reproduction of illustrations and previously published material, and citation of unpublished data and personal communications.
All figures should be supplied in an electronic format at a suitable size for printing with the following resolutions: 600 dots per inch (dpi) for line drawings and combinations; 300 dpi for grayscale and color. Color figures must be supplied in CMYK not RGB colors. Please ensure that the prepared electronic image files print at a legible size and are of a high quality for publication. For useful information on preparing figures, visit http://dx.sheridan.com where you can also test whether your figures are suitable for production by using the preflight tool at http://dx.sheridan.com/onl/
b. Requirements for next stage [return to top menu]
Once the review process has been completed, the author should send a paper copy of the revised manuscript plus a final electronic version.
1.2 Reviews and Communications [return to top menu]
Manuscripts for contributions to the book reviews and communications sections normally should not exceed three pages. References in book reviews should be fully documented. Unsolicited book reviews are accepted with no obligation for publication.
1.3 Copyright [return to top menu]
Copyright for essays and book reviews published in Asian Ethnology belongs to the journal. Asian Ethnology will readily grant permission for the reprinting of essays and reviews, or for their reproduction for classroom use, provided it is requested in writing.
2. Stylistic Conventions [return to top menu]
2.1 Headings [return to top menu]
Provide section headings and, where appropriate, subheadings. Do not begin an essay with a heading, such as “Introduction.”
AE Manuscript Submission & Style Guide – 3
2.2 Diacritical marks/transcriptions [return to top menu]
Authors are expected to include all diacritical marks in their submissions. Asian Ethnology will not take responsibility for inaccuracies that have been missed by the author.
2.3 Italicization of non-English-language terms [return to top menu]
Italicize non-English-language terms, except for those that are used frequently in English or found in standard English dictionaries.
2.4 Spelling [return to top menu]
Use American spellings. An exception may be made for extracted quotations where the original uses British spellings.
2.5 Use of all caps/small caps [return to top menu]
Although Asian Ethnology uses small caps to indicate authors’ surnames in textual references (e.g., YOSHIDA 1970, 37) and bibliographies, do not use all caps or small caps anywhere in the manuscript, except in the case of abbreviations in references (see 3.1 References d. Abbreviations). Small caps will be added as necessary during the editing process.
3. Documentation [return to top menu]
3.1 Citations within text [return to top menu]
For references to works within the text (including footnotes), use the author-date system with the surname of the author, year of publication (with no intervening punctuation), followed by a comma then page numbers, e.g., (Jones 1979, 379); for consecutive numbers, use (Suzuki 2001, 289–93).
3.2 Endnotes [return to top menu]
Indicate footnotes in the text with a raised Arabic number. Assign endnote numbers consecutively throughout the manuscript, but supply them on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the text. Use endnotes for supplementary data or ideas, but use citation notes for simple references (see 3.1).
3.3 References [return to top menu]
Supply full bibliographical information in a section entitled “References” at the end of the document.
The following information for all references is essential.
