About this journal
Aims and scope
Asian Philosophy is an international journal concerned with such philosophical traditions as Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Buddhist and Islamic. The purpose of the journal is to bring these rich and varied traditions to a worldwide academic audience.
It publishes articles in the central philosophical areas of metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, logic, moral and social philosophy, as well as in applied philosophical areas such as aesthetics and jurisprudence. It also publishes articles comparing Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.
Peer Review Policy:
All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
"With its hospitality to contributions on Jewish, Islamic and Persian traditions, as well as on South and East Asian thought, Asian Philosophy performs a unique and invaluable role among academic journals. There can be few teachers or students of non-Western philosophy who have not benefited by consulting this admirable journal."
David E. Cooper, Professor of Philosophy, Durham University
"The author-contributors to Asian Philosophy are the leading authorities in their respective areas of expertise. The articles provide the latest creative scholarly insights and research concerning the various contemporary and ancient issues that concern philosophy and the history of ideas in Asia."
James Sellman, Professor of Chinese Philosophy, University of Gaum
"In the sixteen years of its existence the journal Asian Philosophy has earned a well-deserved reputation for the variety and quality of its articles in the many traditions of Asian philosophy. Currently it is without question one of the top journals in this field."
Roy W. Perrett, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
