The Journal of East Asian Trade (JEAT) is the official publication of the East Asian Trade Association. JEAT publishes manuscripts of significant interest that contribute to the theoretical and practical basis of business, economics, and international trade studies. JEAT’s broad scope and editorial polices create accessible, thought-provoking content for the general academic community of business, economics, and international trade. The goal of JEAT is to publish insightful, innovative and impactful research on business, economics, and international trade. JEAT is multidisciplinary in scope and interdisciplinary in content and methodology. 

JEAT is an interdisciplinary journal that welcomes submissions from scholars in business, economics, and trade disciplines and from other disciplines (e.g., political science) if the manuscripts fall within the JEAT domain statement. Papers are especially welcome which combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or that can be traced to origins in different disciplines.

JEAT is a methodologically pluralistic journal. Quantitative and qualitative research methodologies are both encouraged, as long as the studies are methodologically rigorous. Conceptual and theory-development papers, empirical hypothesis-testing papers, and case-based studies are all welcome. Mathematical modeling papers are welcome if the modeling is appropriate and the intuition explained carefully.

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are referred through a peer review process.

All manuscripts should follow the submission guidelines on the JEAT homepage (http://www.jeata.org).

JEAT operates an on-line submission system. Manuscripts should be submitted to the on-line submission system at http://www.jeata.org following all prompts on the screen.

There is no firm submission deadline for papers and the submitted articles will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
