PUBL.- Papers on Inner Asia Series, RIFIAS, Indiana University
The Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies (RIFIAS) at Indiana University invites contributions to the series PAPERS ON INNER ASIA.
The series PAPERS ON INNER ASIA consists of scholarly papers of variable size (from 25 to 110 pages), each published and bound separately.
Inner Asia is defined as the region that includes Islamic Central Asia (the areas sometimes called Western, Eastern, and Afghan Turkestan), Mongolia, Manchuria, and Tibet. The papers can deal with various topics related to this vast region: history, philology, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, contemporary problems, and so on. Works on certain subjects that transcend the boundaries of Inner Asia in its strict sense, but are relevant for the study of its languages, history, and culture, are also included, for instance, the ancient and medieval history, etc. of the peoples of the East European steppes.

The series is divided into the following subseries:
1) General
2) Ancient Inner Asia
3) Central Asia
4) Mongolia, Manchuria, and Tibet
5) Altaic Linguistics.

The series PAPERS ON INNER ASIA is designed to ensure prompt publication of scholarly papers and to facilitate the publication of longer papers, which are large enough not to be accepted by most scholarly journals. The language of the paper can be English, French, or German. As a rule, no stylistic editing is done, with possible exceptions for papers written in a language other than the author's native tongue. After the manuscript submitted for publication is reviewed (by outside reviewers or by consulting editors), it is returned to the author whose responsibility is to prepare a camera-ready copy of the text in accordance with technical requirements set up by the Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies, which undertakes to publish the paper within one month, after the receipt of the camera-ready copy.
The size of the camera-ready copy can be from 25 to 110 pages (single spaced). Authors are entitled to 15 free copies of their papers.
