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. -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by the UK Serials Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Susan Soule Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 3:48 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: The Journal of Asian Studies to be published by Cambridge **With Apologies for Cross-Posting** 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.
