Scando-Slavica is a peer-reviewed international journal for Slavic and Baltic linguistics, literature, culture, history and society. It publishes two issues yearly. The editorial board is appointed by the Association of Nordic Slavists and Baltologists. While Scando-Slavica is primarily an organ for Scandinavian slavists and baltologists, contributions by non-Scandinavian authors are welcomed. The majority of articles are written in English and Russian, but articles written in German and French are also accepted.

South Asian Studies is the internationally refereed journal of the British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS). SAS has appeared annually since 1985, and incorporated the earlier Afghan Studies, and has established itself as the UK's leading journal devoted to the visual and material cultures of South Asia, and the only major journal outside the subcontinent devoted entirely to this field. Its disciplinary focus embraces all aspects of visual and material culture, including art, crafts, archaeology and architecture, while it welcomes contributions on textual, historical, religious, sociological, ethnographic and other themes wherever these throw light on the journal's core areas of interest. The geographical focus of the journal is that of BASAS: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and the South Asian diaspora. SAS regularly includes South Asia-related material dealing with neighbouring regions. The journal's chronological frame is from pre-history to the present.South Asian Studies aims to publish new research contributing theoretical and analytical insight. At the same time it provides a much needed forum for articles in which the principal contribution is in bringing to light interesting material previously unpublished. With its visual emphasis, South Asian Studies takes a generous approach to illustrations, which are not seen as mere adjuncts to text. It especially welcomes submissions with original drawings and photographs, and aspires to a high quality of design and layout.DisclaimerThe British Association for South Asian Studies and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
