| Submission of manuscripts | Submitted articles should relate to textual or other (especially visual) sources from South Asia in the original. If they fulfil this criterion, the articles pass through a two-tiered review process: upon the basic positive evaluation by a member of the editorial board, the submitted article is forwarded in anonymized form to two external specialised peers for review. On average, it takes some four months until the final decision whether an article will be accepted is made. For further details, see www.austriaca.at/wzks_collection/Review_policy.html. Authors are requested to follow the guidelines for manuscript preparation as given in the 'Information for authors'.
