Journal of Oriental Studies (JOS) is an interdisciplinary and interregional journal published by the Faculty of Oriental Studies, Yerevan State University. It has been published since 2006 and is the successor of the “Problems of Oriental Studies“, proceedings of the interuniversity scholarly articles and “Oriental Collection” (2004)  published by the Ministry of Higher and Vocational Secondary Education of the Armenian SSR (1983-2004). Research articles on diverse topics related to the fields of history, religion, linguistics, literature, archaeology, social and cultural anthropology of the Arabic Countries, Iran, Central Asia, Turkey (the Ottoman Empire), and the Caucasus, as well as Armenian Genocide and Diaspora Studies, are published.

Every article submitted to JOS has to pass a double-blind peer review process before being considered for publication. Before entering the peer review process, the submissions have to pass a first assessment round conducted by the editors aiming to determine whether the overall composition of the manuscript (topic, language, length) meets the journal’s requirements. If the article does not comply with the topics of the Journal, it is excluded from revision, and the author is being notified about it. The journal is edited by the Faculty of Oriental Studies of YSU.

Contributions for publication can be submitted via the journal’s website.

A typical article for the JOS should be between 25000-30000 symbols (including spaces). Publication languages are English and Russian.
