Bhutan Studies
Journal of Bhutan Studies (JBS)
Description: An interdisciplinary journal of Bhutanese studies. The editorial board was formed in 1999 with the aims of (a) giving the Bhutanese scholars a chance to have their material published and critically discussed along with contributions from Western academics in the field and (b) to make different aspects of Bhutan better known to the outside world. It serves as a forum for students and scholars from both the East and the West, and makes available in Bhutan itself more of the research done on the area. The journal was conceived to appeal to scholars from a number of disciplines, and submissions of material relating to Assam, the Himalayas in relation to Bhutan and on natural sciences as well as economy are actively encouraged.

Himalayan Research Bulletin (HRB)
Description: An interdisciplinary and international bulletin of scholarly information regarding Nepal and adjacent Himalayan areas including North India, Pakistan, and Bhutan. The journal was formerly known as the Nepal Studies Association Bulletin. The Himalayan Research Bulletin has two central functions: to review scholarship, research, and other information of interest to members and other Himalayanists; and, to promote understanding and appreciation of the region through the publication and support of original research and other important work. It serves the needs of a diverse group of subscribers in the United States and more than twenty other countries; HRB is included in the collections of fifty major libraries in the U.S., Asia, and Europe. The bulletin is developed from a mimeographed newsletter into its present form--as the major international journal for the region--through the efforts of its volunteer editors, the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) Council, and members who provide much of the material for each issue. HRB appreciates the opportunity to review articles, book reviews, research reports, and photographs for possible publication, and the ANHS welcomes tax-deductible contributions to sustain and expand its outreach efforts.

Nepalese Linguistics - A Journal of the Linguistic Society Of Nepal
Description: An annual journal which publishes articles, research reports and book reviews of works related to Himalayan linguistics with focus on the languages of Nepal. The editorial board was formed in 1980 following the establishment of the Linguistic Society of Nepal in 1979. The journal NL serves as a forum for students and scholars, both Nepalese and foreign, to publish material on their on-going research that have been previously presented and critically discussed at the LSN conference held each year on the last week of November. NL makes available in Nepal and abroad the bulk of new research on languages and linguistics of the Himalayan region. NL was thus conceived to appeal to linguists and other scholars interested in the languages of the area and other related fields in Himalayan studies.

Studies in Nepali History and Society (SINHAS)
Description: SINHAS aims to further understanding of cultural politics and social conditions in Nepal through a commitment to historical analysis, attention to Nepali scholarship, and a willingness to explore new terrain. SINHAS will be of value not only to scholars of Nepal, but also to development practitioners, and to other South Asianists who seek to understand the complex history of Nepali society. SINHAS encourages clear and jargon-free prose. Thus it will also be a useful source for travellers and others interested in Nepal who seek a more in-depth picture of Nepali society than that provided by guidebooks and travel literature. The journal's emphasis is on work that i) opens up to scholarship areas of study that have not traditionally been part of "Nepal Studies" and ii) casts new light on familiar topics. Articles are either in English or Nepali.
