Information for Prospective Authors of GPJ

Definition: Global Perspectives on Japan (GPJ) is an online, Open Access, peer-reviewed (double-blind),  interdisciplinary journal on Japanese Studies, published on a yearly basis. GPJ’s main language of publication is English.

Open Access Statement: GPJ is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.

History of GPJ: The first issue of GPJ was published in 2017 and presented to academia with a launching ceremony during the 15th International Conference of the European Association for Japanese Studies held in Lisbon. The issue was titled “Technology and Nature” and it was dedicated to the “26th JAWS Meeting in Istanbul”. GPJ owes much of its existence to the sincere support and valuable contributions of of “The Japan Anthropology Workshop” (JAWS) members led by Dr. Brigitte Steger, the Secretary General of the organization.

The publication of the second issue for 2018 had to be postponed due to dire economic conditions in Turkey. In spite of the pandemic conditions, we managed to publish two consecutive issues in March 2020, and the fourth in June 2021. Thanks to the generous support of Toshiba International Foundation, GPJ has now achieved stability and a solid prospect for the future issues.
