The Journal of the International Association of Tibetan Studies (JIATS) is an online, scholarly, peer-reviewed journal. JIATS is an official publication of the International Association of Tibetan Studies (IATS), which organizes the world’s major conference for Tibetan Studies, the results of which are published in the Proceedings of the International Association of Tibetan Studies (PIATS) series. All scholars of Tibet, whether members of IATS or not, are welcome to submit work for publication in JIATS. JIATS is hosted by the Tibetan and Himalayan Digital Library, which presents collaborative projects in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies over the web.

The JIATS Mission

• To provide an easily accessible scholarly journal through the worldwide web in order to link the international community of Tibetan Studies.
• To provide a forum for original research in all fields of Tibetan Studies, including those that integrate digital media. Research will be published in the form of articles, brief communications, translations, and critical editions of texts.
• To provide scholars in the field with information about current scholarship in the form of reviews of recent publications.
• To serve the Tibetological community by providing news relevant to the field (including conferences, research initiatives, new book series, and translation projects).

JIATS is integrated within an online digital library (THDL). JIATS provides full multimedia content: submissions can incorporate digital maps, audio recordings, digital images, and digital video (submitters are responsible for securing copyright and must include a short statement to that effect). Although JIATS is not published in a print version, the online journal provides an easy mechanism for downloading or printing individual articles. There is no charge for viewing the journal online.
