Journal of South Asian Studies is an open access peer-reviewed international academic covering the study area of modern South Asia pertaining to its politics, history, literature, arts, cultural and social studies, economy and security matters, and international affairs with linkage of immediate Asian regions. Articles on theoretical, comparative studies and case studies, empirical analyses, commentaries and reviews concerning the growing strategic significance of modern South Asian region and its relevance with other Asian regions (Central Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and Middle East) are accepted for publication. Each issue of South Asia gives an exclusive venue to “Young dynamic social scientists”, graduate and post-graduate students, researchers, practitioners and general readers interested in South Asian politics. A special issue of the journal is published in the background of important events or developments or happenings in South Asian region or with collaboration of any world region/country according to its respective countries’ contexts.
As an editorial board member, I will expect you to encourage authors to submit manuscripts for publication. Although no minimum number of reviews is suggested, I expect that there would be approximately 3-4 manuscripts to review each year, which should take no more than 05-10 hours of your time.
You will be expected to contribute to the quality of the journal, as well as making suggestions about its contents and appearance. You will only be required responding in electronic mail or by telephone regarding materials sent to you to review. Any review that you perform would be anonymous to the authors.
