[Gouranga Charan Pradhan]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to inform you that the Journal of World Buddhist Cultures (JWBC) is still accepting scholarly submissions for its upcoming issue, which is tentatively scheduled for publication in March 2026.

The submission deadline has now been extended to December 16, 2025 (Tue), JST.

JWBC is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published annually by Ryukoku University's Research Center for World Buddhist Cultures. The journal encourages graduate students and early-career researchers to submit their research findings. 

Please help us spread the word.

 Below is a summary of the journal.
-----------------
The Journal of World Buddhist Cultures (JWBC) is a peer-reviewed journal aimed at developing and disseminating broad knowledge related to Buddhism. It also attempts to encourage international intellectual exchange seeking solutions to the various problems of people living in the unpredictable and uncertain modern world by actively engaging with Buddhist studies. The JWBC defines Buddhist studies broadly, also including philosophy, literature, history, politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, criminology, and area studies related to Buddhism one way or another.

You might also want to have a look at the two articles that were published last year as part of volume 8 from the following links.
