Taiwan Journal of Anthropology

 

 

 

The Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica is pleased to announce a new academic publication, Taiwan Journal of Anthropology (TJA; or 臺灣人類學刊 in Chinese). 

 

A journal primarily devoted to sociocultural anthropology, TJA seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological findings to the global audience. TJA is an international bilingual journal that publishes Chinese and English articles addressing theoretical, empirical and ethnographic issues in all sub-fields of anthropology. The purpose of TJA is to provide a major anthropological forum that bridges developments in contemporary international anthropology between Chinese and English audiences.

 

This journal is based on the venerable editorial tradition of its predecessor, the Bulletin of the Institute of Ethnology, to published peer-reviewed research article, review article, research note, comment and reply, and selected book review.

 

TJA invites anthropologists and scholars in other disciplines---who wish to engage in dialogue with anthropologists, to submit their work for publication. We seek and appreciate greatly your general support, through submissions, subscriptions, and comments.

 

◇ TJA is currently indexed or abstracted in the following: Anthropological Literature, Bibliography of Asian Studies, Index to Chinese Periodical Literature, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Sociological Abstracts, Academic Search Premier, SocINDEX with Full Text, Asia-Studies Full-Text Online.
