IAFOR Journal of Arts and Humanities
Editor: Dr Thomas French
The IAFOR Journal of Arts and Humanities is an editorially independent interdisciplinary journal associated with the Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities. For more information about the associated conference, please click here.
A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference proceedings are selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject to normal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included in any given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference journal.
IAFOR's journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences and are organized thematically. Editors may choose to issue one, two or even three volumes of a journal depending on the quality and range of submissions in the respective conference proceedings.
Issues: Issue 1 is expected for publication in the early fall of 2011
