The Editor and Editorial Board of Archives of Asian Art welcome specialized articles in English on all aspects of the arts of South, Southeast, Central, and East Asia. The journal has long been known for scholarly articles on individual artists and specific works of art and architecture and archaeological sites. In addition, we welcome scholarly contributions on contemporary Asian art as well as articles on the collecting, exhibition, and movement of Asian art objects and the history of the study of Asian art as a subject of aesthetic valuation and categorization.

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the specifications of the Chicago Manual of Style, eighteenth edition. Authors should use the system of short endnote citations with an accompanying reference list, as described in Chapter 14.

The system of transliteration of foreign terms and names should be consistent within each article and should conform to generally accepted practice.

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all quotations and for supplying complete references. All copy, including block quotations, endnotes, and reference lists, must be double-spaced.

Please read Duke University Press's "Ethics and Policies for Journals," especially the section titled "Originality and the Use of AI." The use of generative AI must be disclosed in your manuscript in order for it to be published in Archive of Asian Art.

All submissions should be emailed as PDF files to Sarah E. Fraser, Editor, at sarah.fraser@zo.uni-heidelberg.de. Captions and illustrations should be placed in separate files from the text. If the images are too large to email, please use an online Dropbox site to deliver the file.
