NCC Center for the Study
of Japanese Religions 
 

The journal Japanese Religion (JR) publishes research-based articles as well as reviews and review articles on Japanese religions. JR covers Japanese religions in all forms, at all times and from all places. JR has a particular ambition to publish articles that develop the field of Japanese religious studies as grounded in multi-disciplined research.

 

Articles on or involving sociology, psychology, philosophy, semiotics, cognitive sciences, etc. are therefore published. JR for the moment publishes one issues per year, an issue contains a minimum of five articles. Periodically, the articles are grouped around a particular theme. The articles in JR are peer-reviewed.

 

The peer-review, which will be conducted by at least one professional outside the editorial team, will assess the manuscript on both professional and formal criteria, including language and adherence to technical guidelines.

 

The reviewer recommends to the editorial board whether the manuscript can be published with few or no changes, whether it can be published subject to major changes, or whether the manuscript should not be published. Reviews and shorter submissions will normally only be edited by the editorial team.
