Himalaya

Aims & Scope

HIMALAYA is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal published by the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS), formerly known as the Nepal Studies Association (1972-2000).

HIMALAYA has two International Standard Serial Numbers: ISSN 1935-2212 (print) and ISSN 2471-3716 (online).

Over 40 years old, HIMALAYA is the continuation of the Himalayan Research Bulletin (1981-2003) and the Nepal Studies Association Newsletter (1972-1980).

Truly interdisciplinary and transregional in scope, HIMALAYA is committed to covering all aspects of Himalayan Studies, including the natural and social sciences, humanities, and creative arts.

HIMALAYA promotes scholarly understanding of, engagement with, and appreciation for this diverse region of the world.

We are committed to collaborating with other regional associations devoted to Himalayan issues, and supportive of work that encourages scholarly and cultural exchange.

To that end, HIMALAYA publishes original research articles, short field reports, book and film reviews, reports on meetings and conferences, alongside literature and photo essays from the region.

All original research articles are submitted to a rigorous peer review process.

HIMALAYA serves the needs of a diverse constituency of scholars, students, professionals, and institutions in the United States and around the world.

The journal is included in the collections of fifty major libraries in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
