Across the Atlantic: A Note from Imprint
With the release of the Winter issue of Volume 16 (2009), The Journal of American-East Asian Relations, inaugurated in 1992, has long established itself as a definitive, scholarly periodical on trans-Pacific international relations. As of Volume 17 (2010), the Journal will be officially published by Brill Academic Publishers in The Netherlands on the other side of the Atlantic. Brill will undertake the multiple tasks of design/production, distribution, and marketing, with online and print editions, and developing a full accessible archive of past issues and volumes to meet the needs of the Digital Age. The work of JAEAR authors, advisors, editors, and this publisher will be preserved. Under Brill, the Journal will be in excellent hands with the potential of reaching even wider readership.
The editorial responsibility for the Journal will remain unchanged under Imprint Publications in Chicago in close cooperation with Brill.
We have arrived at this point with the help and support of numerous scholars and institutions, too many to name. Journal publishing is a very complicated business as I have learned it through my years at the University of Chicago Press. But I am most grateful to Akira Iriye, my mentor at the University of Chicago; Warren I. Cohen; and Michael A. Barnhart, who helped launch the Journal in 1992; and the succeeding editors, Franklin Ng, Robert David Johnson, and T. Christopher Jespersen.
Above all, I am grateful to our current editor, Charles W. Hayford, who has been instrumental not only in bringing the Journal back on schedule but also taking its research contents to new grounds. We invite scholars around the world to submit their manuscripts to the Journal, guidelines and other information of which can be found at our website www.interworld-pacific.com.
