Somehow, I thought I posted this, but it was left in my dashboard. Please forgive the delay. Issue 24.1 (January 2014) of AP is out. Articles of interest to our readers include:
Monima Chadha, “A Buddhist Explanation of Episodic Memory: From Self to Mind.”
Bart Dessein,. “The Significance of the Buddhist 10-Membered Formula of Dependent Origination.”
I would like to follow up on this post about Asian Philosophy.
Is Asian Philosophy subjecting papers to blind review?
I published a paper there in the past two years and received no comments at all. Just an acceptance. A colleague of mine had the same experience. Anyone else? Has anyone had written comments and anything other than an acceptance in the past two years?
I published an article there a couple of years ago. I remember simply that after submission, it took a bit of time to get an acknowledgement that it was received. Then, after a few emails, I was told it was received, and then in a few months, acceptance. The note acknowledging receipt from the editor did say “We will be in touch as soon as we have heard from our referees.” They had active copy-editors, but I don’t remember much by way of substantive criticism from the referees, and I can’t find any emails with such right now.
(Of course, we can flatter ourselves that the papers were so good that no revisions were needed, right?)
This is the peer-review policy as stated on the website:

Anyone been asked to referee a paper for Asian Philosophy in the past two years?
You may want to also ask this question on Warp, Weft, and Way. I haven’t, been asked in any case.
