The Journal of Buddhist Studies is published by the Central Department of Buddhist Studies, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Nepal. The journal aims to publish research articles related to the several aspects on Buddhist Studies: Buddhist Philosophy, Engaged Buddhism (Buddhist Psychology, Buddhist Education, Environment, Medicine, Management etc.), mindfulness, Buddhist History, Buddhist Archeology festivals and Buddhism in overall Buddhist communities. In addition to these, review of books related to Buddhism is also the area of research.
The Journal of Buddhist Studies is published annually.
The Journal of Buddhist Studies provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. One can download and read the articles but the users must obey the intellectual property rights, avoid plagiarism and must respect the ethical issues.
The journal is peer reviewed. Each paper is blindly reviewed by two professors. The paper is coded omitting the identity of the writer and sent to the reviewer so he/she do not know the writer of the article. For the review process, a form is developed through which the reviewer comments on title, abstract, keywords, introduction, objectives, research questions, methodology, discussions, conclusions, referencing and so on. These comments are passed to the writer to update and correct the articles according to the comments and suggestions given by the reviewer. Here too, the identity of the writer is kept confidential. When the writer again forwards the corrected articles, language edition is completed. Finally, the Editorial Board along with the presence of head of the department decides to publish the journal. The whole process takes one year period.
