Special Issues & Course Readers

APJJF also welcomes Special Issues and Course Readers. Special Issues are guest edited collections of articles on a single theme. Course Readers, meanwhile, make the work of the journal accessible to teachers and students for classroom use. Contact the Editorial Office with proposals for special issues and/or course readers including a brief introduction along with an outline and precis of the proposal.

Translation

One goal of APJJF is to make the Japanese intellectual world more visible and accessible to English-reading audiences. If you would like to suggest an original or previously published article or essay in Japanese to be translated into English, please send your proposal (including rationale) and the original text to the Editorial Office for review.
