Letter from the Editor

This year we are happy to provide two fine publications for Volume 6 (2022) of the JJADH. Over the past two years our publication schedule has been thrown off due to the pandemic, but we are now fully back in the flow of things now. The past now almost three years of pandemic-related interruptions and adjustments to our research have certainly been a struggle, and we can only hope that we can move thoroughly beyond the pandemic in the near future.

And speaking of the future, we are still currently inviting submissions for Volume 7 of the JJADH to be issued in October 2023. If you are interested in submitting a paper to the JJADH for review, please consult the CFP information that follows:

To submit your paper, please access the online submission system at:

https://journals.jadh.org/index.php/jjadh/about/submissions

First please register with the journal by clicking the "register" link. Make sure to register as “Author." Once you have registered, you can submit your paper by clicking "New submission." Please read the instructions on the pages carefully. We ask that papers be submitted according to the guidelines and web-submission process stipulated.

The JJADH is not limited to Japanese studies. The editorial board encourages international submissions and will consider papers pertaining to DH on a broad range of disciplinary interests:

(1) Papers should be between 10 and 18 pages in length (4,000 to 8,000 words) A4 or letter, double-spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman.

(2) Please submit your paper (written in English) in MS-Word (*.doc, *.docx) or LibreOffice (*.odt) format.

(3) Because this journal is an online publication, you may include hyperlinks, images, graphics, and so forth, as necessary.

(4) For your references/bibliography, please follow the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) guidelines (readily available online).

(5) Please also follow CMS guidelines for other aspects of prose styling, such as italicization of foreign words, monograph titles, and so forth.

(6) If you are not a native speaker of English, please have your paper proofread by a scholar who is a native speaker before submission.

(7) Except in cases where a scholar is invited to submit, papers will undergo a double-blind review by academic peers, with reader’s comments made available upon completion of the review.

Submissions will be accepted until February 25th, 2023.

From the JJADH, our best to all of our friends and colleagues in the DH community, and let’s hope that we all have a chance to see each other in person at academic conferences in the coming months.
