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.
