East Asian Publishing and Society is a journal dedicated to the study of the publishing of texts and images in East Asia, from the earliest times up to the present. The journal provides a platform for multi-disciplinary research by scholars addressing publishing practices in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam.

East Asian Publishing and Society invites articles that treat any aspect of publishing history: production, distribution, and reception of manuscripts, imprints (books, periodicals, pamphlets, and single sheet prints), and electronic text. Studies of authorship and editing, the business of publishing, reading audiences and reading practices, libraries and book collection, the relationship between the state and publishing—to name just a few possible topics—are welcome.

Brill’s journal aims to print innovative studies on East Asian publishing to meet the scholarly community's expanding interest in this rich and varied field.

Founded in 2001 originally by a consortium of European universities, the European Journal of East Asian Studies (EJEAS) is a global scholarly journal specializing in post-1945 East Asian studies, with a focus on East Asia’s socio-economic development, regional affairs and external relations. The journal’s central objective is to promote interdisciplinary contributions in social sciences for a better conceptual and empirical analysis of East Asia’s recent and current evolution, at infra- and supra-national levels, including the knowledge of local dimensions. Contributors are invited to cross-combine disciplines such as anthropology, geography, history, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. They can be also inspired by domains of study such as cultural studies, international development, foreign affairs, global studies, public policy, corporate affairs and management, etc.

An additional objective is to encourage and welcome, from the region and outside, original articles suggesting new approaches, research methods and contents in area studies, as applied to 21st century East Asia, and also as a possible redefinition or revisiting of classical Asian and regional studies.

Articles can address the wider East Asian region, or sub-regions such as ASEAN/Southeast Asia, and individual countries or groups of countries. Oceania and the South Pacific are not covered in this journal.

Peer Review Policy: All articles published in European Journal of East Asian Studies undergo a double-anonymous external peer review process. This includes articles published in special issues.

The Korean Wave
Editor-in-Chief:
The Korean Wave, also known as Hallyu, refers to the rapidly increasing popularity of Korean cinema, pop music, television series, and food around the world. It has its origins in the 1970s, and so no signs of slowing down. This has led to a meteoric growth of interest in Korean popular culture in the academic world. In some universities, the number of students of the Korean language and of Korean Studies in general surpasses that of all other Asian languages and countries, including China and India. The main aims of this journal are twofold. First, it serves as a documentary resource for autobiographical and experiential pieces on those at the heart of Hallyu. While much scholarship has been devoted to the outcomes of and processes underlying the phenomenon, these pieces highlight the lived experience of those have participated in and contributed to it. Typically, these take the form of multimodally presented interviews accompanied by analysis from invited contributors with relevant expertise. Second, it aims to promote a scholarly understanding of the on-going global spread of Korean popular culture in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries, including, but not limited to its precursors, origins, development, individual instantiations (i.e., particular pieces of media, individuals, fandoms, and other stakeholders) contemporary disposition, reception, and current trends. To this end, it accepts original, empirical, theoretical, and critical academic articles on these topics in Hallyu. It encourages the submission of work for peer-review from any of the disciplinary perspectives of the Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as those which blur disciplinary boundaries taking interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approaches.

Editor-in-Chief:
Translocal Chinese: East Asian Perspectives (TCEA)《海外華人研究》is a peer-reviewed English journal. It is jointly-published biannually by the College of International Studies and Social Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University (國立臺灣師範大學國際與社會科學學院), the Center for the Digital Archives of South Fukienese Culture and Overseas Chinese Hometowns, National Quemoy University (國立金門大學閩南文化與僑鄉數位典藏中心), the Society of Overseas Chinese Studies (SOCS), Taipei, Taiwan (中華民國海外華人研究學會), and Brill.

A transdisciplinary journal devoted to the studies of overseas Chinese communities in all their manifestations and contestations, TCEA focuses on the region of East Asia. We study overseas Chinese border crossing networks disseminated from or converged in (pen)insular countries or zones such as Japan, North and South Koreas, the Ryukyus, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. We also welcome research on other mobile groups which are connected to, or whose experiences could be compared with overseas Chinese in and from East Asia.

With an international editorial board consisting of leading scholars in the field, TCEA is interested in the intersections of East Asia and global history, and in comparative approaches to issues such as long-term identity formation, state building and market development under the conditions of globalism and transnationalism. Comprehensive in scope, focal themes may include business and investment networks, migration and settlement, citizen's participation and community building, development of media and the arts, traveling and tourism, religious ideas and organization, and academic exchanges. To sum up, TCEA distinguishes itself by the focus on the crescent of East Asian (pen)insular states.

By drawing attention to the thriving region of East Asia, TCEA aims to make a critical contribution to the current studies of overseas Chinese. Wide-ranging in its fields of enquiry, TCEA publishes critical essays in anthropology, migration, economy, sociology, geography, religion, media, business, militarization, marriage, literature, cultural studies, colonial and postcolonial identity formations, etc. TCEA accepts only English submissions such as research papers, bilingual research notes, book reviews, and academic interviews. TCEA however does not exclude research on other non-Chinese mobile communities and welcomes transnational and comparative approaches to the studies of overseas Chinese.

All articles published in TCEA undergo a double-blind peer review process. This includes articles published in special issues.

The Vienna Journal of East Asian Studies (VEAS) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal. It publishes original research on any topic in the field of East Asian Studies, including Greater China, the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Vietnam. Manuscripts must not have been previously published or under consideration by any other publisher or journal. Authors of papers published in VEAS are solely responsible for the content of their papers. All manuscript submissions are subject to rigorous peer review by appropriate specialists. VEAS is published once a year at the beginning of December. The journal has no article processing charges (APCs) or article submission fees. Founded in 2009 with the initial aim of providing a platform for the dissemination of groundbreaking research, especially by emerging scholars, VEAS has over the years become an increasingly attractive venue for the scholarship of the international East Asianist community. After a successful collaboration with the Praesens Verlag in Vienna, which spanned ten print volumes from 2011 to 2017, VEAS was published as an open access online journal by de Gruyter/Sciendo from 2018 to 2022. In line with its growing international profile, VEAS finally moved to BRILL at the beginning of 2023. The move to BRILL was accompanied by a new strategic collaboration with the Research Centre Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society at the University of Vienna. As a result of this close partnership, VEAS has strengthened its focus on articles related to the study of religions in the East Asian context.
