The Journal of South Asian Development (JSAD) publishes papers based on original research pertaining to all facets of development in South Asia (a region comprising of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and the Maldives). Within this broad field, we are particularly interested in receiving original research papers on
-economic development, labor markets, trade, and
regional integration;
-livelihoods, poverty, and inequality (e.g. by gender, religion, class, caste or tribe);
-civil society, human rights, justice and well-being;
-political, social and demographic change;
-literacy, education, and health;
-conflict, governance, and security;
-environmental transformation, natural disasters and emergency management. Papers should be between 8000 and 12000 words in length and ideally combine theory with empirical analysis. Papers may focus on a particular state, a group of states or the entire South Asian region. Papers that compare South Asian states or the region with other states and regions are also welcome. All papers must be accompanied by an abstract of 200 words, approximately five key words, and full institutional affiliation, postal and email addresses and brief profile of the author/s. Papers submitted to JSAD must not be under consideration by any other publisher; authors must attest to this at the time of submission. It is also the author`s responsibility to disclose any potential conflict of interest regarding the submitted manuscript. The JSAD is a peer-reviewed journal and follows a two-step review process. All papers submitted to the JSAD are first scrutinized by the editors to determine suitability. Papers found to be suitable are then assessed by peer referees using a double-blind review process. The JSAD strives to provide authors with a publication decision within three months of submission of their papers. Papers should be formatted in MS Word and sent electronically to the Editor at [email protected]
The JSAD also publishes reviews of books on all aspects of development in South Asia. Individual authors or publishers interested in having their books reviewed in the JSAD should send books to Genevieve Faulkner, Book Review Editor, Journal of South Asian Development, at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Murdoch University, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia. Genevieve Faulkner can be contacted by email at [email protected]
