Japanese Society and Culture

Manuscript Submission

Japanese Society and Culture (JSC) invites the submission of manuscripts focusing specifically on Japanese society and culture. JSC’s coverage typically includes the Japanese society and its systems and the Japanese culture and its intricacies; JSC does not generally publish manuscripts that do not focus on Japanese society and culture. Research or material that has been, or will be published elsewhere before it appears in JSC, will not be considered for publication.

JSC is open to all contributors. Peer review may involve members of the Institute of Social Sciences, Toyo University; other scholars with different but relevant affiliations may also be consulted. If rejected, manuscripts may not be resubmitted to JSC.

All manuscripts must include the author’s name and title and must be double-spaced with 42 lines per page. They must be written in Times New Roman with 10.5 as the font size. This format applies to the entire body of text, including quotations and footnotes. Lead articles must not exceed 30,000 words, including footnotes, which should be complete and formatted as per The Chicago Manual of Style or The Bluebook guidelines.
