Journal of Vietnamese Studies
University of California Press announces a new peer-reviewed scholarly journal, The Journal of Vietnamese Studies, beginning publication in September 2006. The journal aims to publish original humanities and social science research about Vietnamese history, politics, culture and society. It will also publish research on important Vietnam-related topics that have traditionally been segregated from area-studies scholarship such as the Vietnamese diaspora and the "Vietnam War." Scholars working within the fields of pre-modern or modern history, politics, anthropology, archeology, literary studies, cultural studies, religion, art history, geography, sociology and environmental studies are especially encouraged to submit their work. In addition to research articles, the journal will publish book reviews and review articles and, on occasion, interviews, primary sources and literary texts. The journal will normally publish in English but it may commission translations of submissions of foreign-language scholarship.
Articles should generally not exceed 12,000 words. Each submission should be accompanied by a cover letter with the author's name, address, phone number and e-mail address, as well as a brief biographical statement, a 100-word abstract, and a word count. Material submitted for publication should be s! ubmitted in 3 hard copies, plus as an e-mail attachment, preferably in MS word. Since submissions are refereed anonymously, the author's name should appear only on the cover sheet. Manuscripts must be prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Notes should be endnotes not footnotes. Maps should be prepared where the topography is important for an understanding of the text. Photographs should specifically enhance the text and carry full captions and attributions. Maps, photographs and art-work may be submitted in clear photocopy form. Vietnamese words should include the appropriate diacritics. Submissions will be returned only if accompanied by a self addressed stamped envelope.
