To support our PhD students in their research work and in completing their dissertations, GSAPS publishes a collection of essays twice every year. This collection is distributed to the various departments in Waseda University and research institutes. All essays are also available on the web of the Waseda University Repository. In order for the essay to be considered for print, students must follow the stipulated guidelines. A panel of examiners and The GSAPS Editorial Committee will review it and only essays that meet the requirements will be published. Many students contribute actively to each publication.
【IMPORTANT】
Please submit your article after you thoroughly and carefully check the rules and guidelines and make sure you meet all the requirements. There have been many submission rejected recently due to failure to follow the submission regulations. (Ex. Inadequate way of reference, lack of cover, application form not submitted, and exceeding the word limit etc.)

To that end, we will discuss some of the do’s and don’ts of publishing, including some guidelines specific to The Journal of the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies and some lessons that will be of general value for any effort to publish their work in scholarly venues. You get valuable feedback just by submitting to a journal. Don’t miss this opportunity. We hope you can join us!
