Our journal showcases the latest peer reviewed academic research on contemporary Chinese-language literature and its translation and reception in the West, alongside features on practitioners. The combination of academic articles and practice-based notes provides a platform for, and facilitates dialogue between, both primary and secondary actors in the field. A key objective of our journal is to engage directly with scholarship in East Asia, and to this end one section in each issue features newly commissioned English translations of the latest Chinese language research. This journal is proud to be entirely Open Access.
