H-ASIA April 19, 2007 Asian publishing in English ************************************************************************ From: Michele Ford <michele.ford@usyd.edu.au> I'm working with a group of Indonesian and East Asian scholars on a special edition of _Labour, Management and Development_ about the Indonesian labour movement. One of these scholars, a Korean, finished his PhD some time ago, but has published almost exclusively in Korean, so is not well known outside of his immediate non-Korean academic circles. Most of the Indonesians contributing to the special issue have few or no academic publications in English. About half the Indonesian contributions were written, reviewed and edited in Indonesian, and then translated. The Korean and the Japanese contributions were also written in Indonesian. The topics on which these scholars are writing are covered in semi-academic Indonesian-language journals (published by research-oriented NGOs). There is no established academic journal for issues like the labour movement in Indonesia that I am aware of. The writing conventions of the semi-academic Indonesian-language journals are broadly similar to those used in English-language forums.
