Subject: RE: The Journal of Asian Studies to be published by Cambridge
This is in PAO - under Association of Asian Studies as publisher.
Can you take this up with PR and find out what if anything needs doing.
If we're paying AAS, maybe we keep paying them. I'd like some guidance,
though.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
28 September 2006, Cambridge, England, UK & New York, USA
Cambridge University Press to publish The Journal of Asian Studies
Cambridge University Press Journals in association with the Association
for Asian Studies is pleased to announce their partnership, beginning in
2007, to publish The Journal of Asian Studies.
The Journal of Asian Studies (JAS) has played a defining role in the
field of Asian studies for over 65 years. JAS publishes the very best
empirical and multidisciplinary work on Asia, spanning the arts,
history, literature, the social sciences, and cultural studies. Experts
around the world turn to this quarterly journal for the latest in-depth
scholarship on Asia's past and present, for its extensive book reviews,
and for its state-of-the-field essays on established and emerging
topics.
With coverage reaching from South and Southeast Asia to China, Inner
Asia, and Northeast Asia, JAS welcomes broad comparative and
transnational studies as well as essays emanating from fine-grained
historical, cultural, political, or literary research and
interpretation. The journal also publishes clusters of papers
representing new and vibrant discussions on specific themes and issues.
Geoff Nuttall, Editorial Director at Cambridge University Press
Journals, said; ?We are delighted to partner with the Association for
Asian Studies to publish this magnificent journal, the strong presence
of which complements our distinguished list of journals in the field.
We look forward to developing the journal?s online visibility,
increasing usage and readership still further.?
Ken George, Professor of Anthropology at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison and Editor of The Journal of Asian Studies, sees the
partnership as a wonderful opportunity to expand the intellectual reach
and influence of the Association for Asian Studies and its flagship
journal. ?Our partners at Cambridge will help us take advantage of the
very latest print and digital technologies, and also give us the
presence in Asia that the Association has long sought. We look forward
to attracting new members, new readers, and new authors, and to
enriching the intellectual and collegial conversations between scholars
of Asia.?
With the move to publication by Cambridge, The Journal of Asian Studies
will be hosted on Cambridge Journals Online (CJO). Full-text articles in
Volume 66 will be available to subscribers. Back volumes currently
available on JSTOR, from Volume 1 (1941) through Volume 62 (2003), will
remain there, and the existing three-year moving wall will continue.
But, Cambridge will ?fill in the gap?: Volumes 63-65 (2004-2006) will
also be on CJO, and subscribers to the online version of the current
volume will have access to those volumes as well.
