Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal

Statement of Purposes

Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal (CAAJ) is co-published by the Chinese Arbitration Association, Taipei (CAA, Taipei), the National Taiwan University Press, and Asian Center for WTO & International Health Law and Policy, College of Law, National Taiwan University (ACWH). The CAAJ is to be published semiannually, one in May and the other one in November. It purports to encourage the publication of original papers covering international arbitration issues. The ultimate aims of the CAAJ are to provide profound and constructive perception of the practices directly and/or indirectly related to the contemporary arbitration issues and contribute to the development of these practices. The CAAJ has been indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) since 2018.

CAAJ welcomes submissions from the legal, political, economic and inter-disciplinary perspectives on the issues relevant to international arbitration, which includes commercial arbitration/other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and investment arbitration (contract-based/treaty-based investor-state arbitration). All manuscripts will be subject to the peer-review process and the approvals of the Senior Committee Members and the Committee Members, so as to ensure high standards and quality of the publication. The CAAJ also welcomes the submission of reviews on published books, and notes and student notes. Acceptance of these manuscripts also depends on peer-review and is also subject to the decision of these committees.

The CAAJ presents itself as academic and practicing references for arbitration and/or trade-related scholars, practitioners and policy makers, and hence it welcomes the subscription of readers from the legal, economic, political, policy-making or multi-disciplinary backgrounds.

Speeches, articles, book reviews, notes and students' notes in the CAAJ do not reflect the views of the members of the Editorial Committee of the CAAJ.

Editorial Committee

Review Process

All manuscripts will subject to the review process of the Senior Committee Members and the Committee Members, so as to ensure high standards and quality of the materials.

In the first stage, there is a peer review system, in which the reviewer will deliver the comment and recommendation regarding whether the submitted paper is suitable to be published. The CAAJ also welcomes the submission of reviews on published books, and notes and student notes. Acceptance of these manuscripts is also subject to the decision of these committees. The Committee Members are composed of international trade and/or health experts and each manuscript is randomly distributed to two of these reviewers. By following, the final acceptance of the submitted manuscripts is subject to the decision of the Senior Committee Members which is composed of five distinguished scholars and/or experts. The whole procedure is estimated about 4-8 weeks after receiving your submission.

The CAAJ will not guarantee publication in a particular issue. Manuscripts that are accepted for publication will be placed in the inventory and be published at the earliest possible issue. Relevance to the current issue is also taken into consideration. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication in the CAAJ, publication of the same manuscript or any part of it elsewhere must obtain the consent from the Editorial Committee.
