Authors must be currently enrolled students of an undergraduate institution or must have obtained their undergraduate degree within one academic year of submitting to CEAR.

Individual authors may submit up to two articles for consideration.

Submissions must be original research articles on East Asia or Southeast Asia. These regions include the geographic areas of Japan, Korea, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Tibet, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, East Timor, and the Philippines. Articles addressing inter-regional issues between these areas and non-East Asian or non-Southeast Asian areas will also be considered.

Articles in any academic discipline will be considered, but the most successful submissions are those which are academically rigorous and exhibit a strong research effort.

Submissions with the best chances of publication will possess a clear and convincing argument, comprehensively present the topic and explain its significance, and employ an effective rhetorical style.

Articles submitted to CEAR must not have been previously published in an undergraduate-level publication and must not be under review by another undergraduate publication.

The Editorial Board of CEAR retains the right to refuse publication of an article should it deem that the article does not meet CEAR quality standards or that an author has violated the Terms of Publication.

Please include a descriptive and colorful title.

Include an abstract of 300 words or less as the coversheet of your paper submission. Also, include your full name, e-mail address, and academic institution.

Read and consent to the Submission Agreement. All submitting authors must agree to participate in the full peer review and editing process.

Submit papers with complete coversheet to submissions@eastasia.review.org. Papers must be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text (.rtf) format.

Avoid grammatical and spelling errors.

If relevant, include a table of contents or place section headings at important places within the paper.

Use parenthetical, in-text citations with the author and page number, e.g. (Jackson 45). Do not omit page numbers unless the reference is unpaginated.

Provide a complete bibliography of all works cited.

Do not use endnotes. Use of footnotes should be kept at a minimum.

Use the serial, or "Oxford" comma (e.g. "executive, legislative, and judicial").

Write out numbers from one to one hundred.

Italicize publication names.

Write out the word "percent."

Indent quotations longer than three lines.

On first reference, write out full proper names and acronyms.

Dashes should always be written as em-dashes without space on either side (-, never --).
