Temporary Suspension of New Submissions

To ensure that every manuscript receives the thorough, timely, and fair peer review it deserves, the Journal of International Buddhist Studies College will temporarily suspend new submissions as of December 1, 2025, until January 31, 2026.

This decision reflects our commitment to maintaining high editorial standards and providing a reliable, respectful experience for authors. By focusing our resources on manuscripts currently under review, we aim to:

• Minimize delays for authors awaiting decisions,
• Give reviewers the time and space needed to provide thoughtful, actionable feedback,
• Uphold the trust authors place in the journal through consistent quality and fairness.

We deeply value the effort and confidence behind every submission. This temporary pause is our way of honoring that trust—by ensuring each manuscript receives the careful attention it deserves, without being rushed or overlooked.

New submissions will reopen on February 1, 2026, unless an earlier resumption is announced on this website. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
