The University of Guam
CALL FOR PAPERS: Pacific Asia Inquiry: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
in the Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, Volume 4, Fall 2013

Scholars are invited to submit papers focusing on the Pacific Asia Region.
Articles, critical essays, and case studies (both applied and theoretical)
across the liberal arts and social sciences are welcome. The research
emphasis of this occasional series accommodates in-depth studies on the
Pacific Asia Region. Contributors are invited not only to share their
innovative research, but also to challenge extant positions and
perspectives. Any theoretical or methodological approach may be employed
so long as it is documented in a readable style of writing that is
accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike. Authors may submit
their writing about problems and issues associated with any ethnic group,
national culture, historical period, genre, or media.

Submission Procedures
Include the following as three separate files: 1) a cover page which
includes author's name(s), title(s), affiliation(s), and address(es)
(including street and e-mail addresses); 2) a title page which includes
the title of the article and an abstract of the paper (the abstract should
be no more than 150 words); and 3) the main text which includes photos,
tables, figures, and references. Our blind peer-review process requires
that author's name(s) and address(es) appear only on the cover page. It is
important that no identifying information appear in the abstract or text
itself. Relevant publications, including the submitter's name(s) as an
author, may appear in the reference section as long as nothing is said to
connect the reference with the submitter's identity. Authors must follow
the conventions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (6th ed., 2009), or the MLA Style Manual and Guide to
Scholarly Publishing (7th ed., 2009). If reviewers and the Editor accept
the manuscript, the author may then be asked to revise the manuscript into
the final up-load version for inclusion in the journal. Only minor
editorial adjustments will be made during the final production stage.
Articles are accepted for review with the understanding that they are not
being considered, in whole or in part, for publication elsewhere and have
not been previously published. Enclose a memo stating whether or not the
essay has been published previously or is being considered for publication
in another journal or medium.

The manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word software with Times New
Roman font, size 12, doubled space, 1-inch margin on all the sides, and
full justification. Indent the first word of a paragraph by 1/2 inch or 5
spaces, and number all pages consecutively, putting numbers in the lower
right-hand corner. Phrases and isolated words in languages other than
English should be italicized. Figures, tables, and photos should be
inserted into manuscript at the time of initial submittal. Figures,
tables, and photos need to be appropriately titled, sourced, and numbered
consecutively. Endnotes should be used and references should appear at the
end of the paper. Do not insert automatic formatting anywhere in the
manuscript. The entire manuscript should not exceed 10,000 words,
including tables and references. Pacific Asia Inquiry, Volume 2 & 3 may be
used as a general reference.

Note: This is a venue for scholarly essays. Fiction and poetry are not
published. The inclusion of artwork, audio, and video are encouraged, to
the degree that it is technically and ethically feasible. Topics relevant
to the journal's overall interests are included in this call.

Inquiries and Submissions must be forwarded electronically to:
PAI Editor
Pacific Asia Inquiry
pacificasiainquiry@yahoo.com

Deadline for submittal is April 15, 2013

For additional information contact Dr. Nicholas J. Goetzfridt, Editor,
ngoetzfr@gmail.com
Pacific Asia Inquiry, Volumes 1, 2 & 3 may be examined and
are available for free full text
