Journal of Chinese Overseas (JCO) is published in English twice a year
in March and September. It carries academic articles on Chinese overseas
worldwide. Topics on emigrant communities in mainland China, Hong Kong,
Macau and Taiwan, and articles on people of non-Han origins in diaspora,
who can trace their ancestry to China, will also be considered for acceptance.
In addition to well-researched articles, the journal also publishes
research reports and book reviews. The first issue of this journal will
be published in March 2005. We seek your support through submission
of articles, subscriptions, and comments. Articles and reports for submission
should follow the guidelines described below.
Information for Authors
Articles submitted to JCO should be 20-35 doubled-spaced pages in
length. Where appropriate, photographs to be printed in black and
white are welcome. The author ' s name and affiliation should appear
on a separate title page only. The chief editors will arrange for each
submission to be anonymously refereed by two relevant scholars. If accepted,
the author will be asked to send the final revised version
together with an abstract of 100-150 words, and a biodata of not more
than 80 words including e-mail address, if any.
A research report should not exceed 20 pages, double-spaced, and should
contain original data. Unlike a full-length article, a research
report need not be presented in a clear theoretical context. Research
reports will be reviewed by the chief editors, and where necessary,
in
consultation with a relevant member of the editorial board.
A book review should contain 1,000-1,500 words.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically if possible, as an e-mail
attachment using MS Word or RTF. If submission is by regular
mail, three copies of the manuscript and a disk in MS Word are required.
Submissions and enquiries should be sent to the chief editors: Prof.

or Prof. Tan Chee-Beng (cbtan@cuhk.edu.hk).

of Chinese Overseas, The Chinese Heritage Centre, 12 Nanyang Drive (Nanyang
Technological University), Singapore 637 721.
