Mission
We, members of the East Asia Young Scholars Association (EAYSA), are a group of young scholars who are interested in studying issues in East Asia and beyond.
At EAYSA, our mission is to cultivate a dynamic platform where young scholars worldwide can engage rigorously in the exploration of East Asian affairs. Through rigorous academic inquiry and exchange, we aim to foster a vibrant community that promotes understanding, study, and critical analysis of various East Asian issues, including but not limited to their societies, histories, cultures, politics, and economies.
Vision
We aim to serve as a global nexus, connecting diverse perspectives and facilitating deep understandings of East Asia and other regions. By encouraging interdisciplinary approaches and intellectual dialogue, we seek to broaden perspectives and deepen insights into the complexities and nuances of various East Asian issues.
Values
We are committed to creating an inclusive and deliberative environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, respects diverse viewpoints, and promotes ethical scholarship. Therefore, central to our mission is the advocacy for academic freedom, freedom of expression, and diversity.
Through these efforts, EAYSA strives to empower the next generation of scholars to contribute meaningfully to the promotion and understanding of East Asia on the world stage.
Anchor – Submission Guidelines
Welcome to Anchor. Anchor is an online platform that enables discussion on and results of research in East Asia affairs to reach out to a wider audience.
Anchor seeks essays that discuss and provide perspectives on East Asian affairs with a focus on issues related to Humanities and Social Sciences. Submissions should be targeted to the board, global audiences of Anchor who are interested in the historic or current development of East Asia. Methodologies from all fields are welcome, including but not limited to interviews, descriptive analysis, historical methods, literature studies, and policy analysis. Quantitative analyses are welcome, but they must be rendered in a manner comprehensible to nonspecialists. Review articles that review a recently published book or recently published research articles in different journals on East Asian issues are also welcome. Submissions are suggested to have a clear research focus, including the review articles.
Although we publish on developments in East Asia, we also prefer submissions with a relatively broad focus. Anchor is interested in comparative analyses of developments and institutions in East Asian and Non-East Asian countries.
Articles submitted must be written in English and should be no more than 1,600 words (inclusive of tables and figures; exclusive of abstract, keywords, references, and biography).

Anchor is not formally peer-reviewed, but every unsolicited submission is evaluated by at least two members of the Editorial Board at EAYSA. Because of our small staff, we are regrettably unable to provide individualised reasons for rejection. Submissions are rejected often for reasons of focus, timing, and style.
