Bibliography of Asian Studies – An Essential Resource for Asian Studies


Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS) is the most comprehensive Western-language bibliographical database for research and teaching on East, Southeast and South Asia. Published by the Association for Asian Studies, the BAS is intended for students and scholars interested in any aspect, discipline or sub-region of Asia, with special focus on the humanities and social sciences. Through its broad bibliographical coverage, it is an excellent means for discovering citations and full-text of Western-language journal articles, review articles, papers in conference proceedings and chapters in edited volumes and Festschriften published anywhere in the world that deal with East, Southeast and South Asia and with the overseas Asian communities.


Content Includes: • Over 900,000 citations and full-text links, constantly updated with the latest publications


• Entries browsable, and searchable by author, title, year of publication, place of publication, language of publication, journal title, country, subject, keyword, ISSN and ISBN


• Coverage of hundreds of important journals and thousands of book chapters, including many publications from Asia that are not indexed anywhere else


• Unique access to the contents of edited volumes, conference proceedings, anthologies, Festschriften and similar publications


• The full content of the printed volumes of the annual Bibliography of Asian Studies dating back to 1971


A Key Resource for Asian Studies Hundreds of key journals that focus on Asia are indexed in the BAS. Many of the most important ones are included in the BAS as soon as they become available. Individual Asia- related articles culled from selected journals that are not focused on Asia also are included.


Available via EBSCOhost® and EBSCO Discovery Service™ Bibliography of Asian Studies is available via EBSCO platforms which provide the ability to search indexed fields such as Country, Language and Geographic Term.

Plan S: the options for publishers


When HighWire launched in 1995, the Internet was transforming the way academic research content was developed, hosted and communicated. The rapidly accelerating digital era brought published content to international research communities in an instant. This was access like never before. Traditionalists claimed that a shift


to online would lead to the end of print journals, and in 10-15 years it did indeed do that for many basic science journals (although not for most medical journals). As a digital partner to the global publishing community, HighWire’s purpose remains to help amplify knowledge and connect the best minds to the most people. Our relationships with multiple publishers afford us a perspective on new challenges faced by the sector. Plan S has invigorated the most active


debate since the proposal of “ebiomed” and PubMed Central about 20 years ago. How will publishers achieve Open Access compliance? What are the main questions and concerns publishers and journals have? And what could genuine solutions be, based on what we currently know?


The whitepaper and webinar Bringing the HighWire community together over four months, we were able to identify and explore 14 implementation options for publishers and how they could deliver against the ten principles set out by cOAlition S. In February, we released a whitepaper that summarized the findings and detailed the four most preferred options. This was followed by a webinar in which John Sack shared his views on the options. You can access both resources, along with several other viewpoints here: www.highwirepress. com/plans
