The Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies is the leading interdisciplinary journal on Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and has been an outlet for academic research in the arts and humanities relating to Asia and Africa since 1917. It carries unparalleled coverage of the languages, cultures and civilisations of these regions from ancient times to the present. Publishing articles, review articles and communications of the highest academic standard, it also features an extensive and influential book reviews section.

The Bulletin is published on behalf of the School by Cambridge University Press. Full text of articles is available online via Cambridge Journals Online, and can be accessed from within subscribing institutions using the following link: journals.cambridge.org/...jid=BSO

Submitting articles

The Bulletin welcomes contributions which fit the overall aims of the journal. The maximum length for articles is normally 12,000 words, including notes and references. New submissions should be submitted by e-mail to: Bulletin@soas.ac.uk. (We prefer a .pdf file, though a Microsoft Word document is acceptable so long as non-standard characters can be read.) Alternatively authors may post two hard copies to: 

The Editorial Office, Bulletin of SOAS, School of Oriental and African Studies, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG, UK. 

The Bulletin is published on behalf of the School by Cambridge University Press. Further particulars and more detailed guidelines for contributors can be found on the Cambridge Journal pages.

Review copies

Books for review should be sent to the address above. We aim to offer a comprehensive reviews section highlighting new scholarly publications in Asian and African studies, but we are unfortunately not able to publish reviews of all of the relevant books we receive.

Please note that the Bulletin does not normally publish unsolicited book reviews.
