CFP> Critical
Review for Buddhist Studies (CRBS) vol. 25
by Youngsu Ha
Dear Colleagues,
Center for Buddhist
Studies (GCBS) is calling for papers related to studies covering Indian,
Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism, to be included in the publication Critical
Review for Buddhist Studies (CRBS). This publication has been issued
on a semi-annual basis since February 2006. 23 volumes have been published to
date by GCBS, which is based at Geumgang University in Korea. (All papers can
be downloaded free of charge at http://gcbs.ggu.ac.kr/sub04_1. An
English webpage is currently under construction.)
GCBS was selected and financed by the National Research Foundation (NRF) in
2007 as a 10-year project, named the Humanities Korea Project. Our agenda
being, "Inspection of the Cultural Processes of Formation, Transformation,
and Reception of the Classical Buddhist Languages and their Literature."
Since then, we have released a volume titled, “The Foundation for Yoga
Practitioners: Buddhist Yogācārabhūmi Treatise and Its Adaptation
in India, East Asia, and Tibet", which was co-published by Harvard
University in the Harvard Oriental Series Vol. 75.
CRBS consists of articles
that were presented at conferences, guest lectures, workshops, and colloquiums.
Almost half of the articles in our journal are written in foreign languages,
other than Korean, such as English, Japanese and Chinese.
Consequently, our journal (despite its short history of 10 years) was nominated
as a Registered Journal of the Korean Research Foundation in July 2017. Based
on this momentum, the editorial board of CRBS is calling for papers that will
showcase various researchers’ remarkable academic achievements. We cordially
invite scholars to submit articles based on the broad field of Buddhist studies,
covering Indian, Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism. In particular, textual
studies on Buddhism, or a topic that is relevant to the focus area of GCBS, are
welcomed. Also, critical reviews of recent research, as well as books written
in English, are most welcome. We adopt a thorough blind peer-review system to
verify submissions, and each submission is examined via the KCI (Korea Citation
Index), which is supported by the NRF. Research articles will be selected for
publication, from among all eligible submissions, through an impartial blind
peer-review conducted by three specialists in the field.
Authors of the critical
reviews that are selected for publication, will receive a modest
remuneration.
