Journal of Asian History

The geographical scope of the journal is as vast as Asia itself. Its historical scope encompasses all periods up to around 1900. It is our hope that contributors will freely develop the “Through the Looking-Glass” aspect of history by implementing a variety of methodological approaches and utilizing a wide range of textual and non-textual sources. In particular, we welcome explorations of particular phenomena or events that provide insight into the dynamics of historical processes, elucidate historical change at turning points of history, and illuminate the conditions of all things that follow them. In addition to studies on isolated phenomena which have played a crucial role in changing the course of history, we also welcome investigations that take the essential concepts, such as basic assumptions of everyday life or the dominant ideas of a certain age, as their starting point, and examine their “Sitz im Leben” (setting in life). These essential concepts have, in their respective eras, been taken for granted to such an extent that they were hardly mentioned in contemporary accounts. Thus, studies of this type should shed light on both the simple habits and the concepts commonplace to people of different social background living in the respective era. Further, we hold those studies in high esteem, whose focus lies on the variety of meanings implied in the Chinese notion of Dao, “the Way”: travel and pilgrimage itineraries, routes of transport, encounters, exchanges, contact zones, and conceptions of spatial order. Of particular interest to us are the social networks of negotiations over time and space, such as the various ongoing internal dialogues within certain communities and the external influences exerted upon them.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
