Publications The Bibliography of Asian Studies: Now an online database, the BAS is the single largest record of research and scholarly literature on East, Southeast, and South Asia written in Western languages. It comprises over 800,000 citations and can be electronically searched. Started as an annual section of the Far Eastern Quarterly edited by members in 1941, the BAS grew to an annual supplement produced by a specialized professional staff. However, by the mid-1980s, gathering the burgeoning data and printing the increasingly thick volumes led to the annual editions falling several years behind. The Association determined to transfer BAS to an electronic database, incorporating all entries from the print volumes for the years 1971 to 1991 and entering new citations from 1991 onward. It is considered the "standard bibliographical tool for Western language resources in the field of Asian studies" and the "single most important record of research and scholarly literature on Asia written in Western languages." It is compiled on the basis of "durable scholarly interest" Key Issues in Asian Studies Asia Past and Present: a scholarly monograph series covering all countries of Asia and all disciplines. The Journal of Asian Studies: The Journal of Asian Studies has been published quarterly since 1941, when it was founded as The Far Eastern Quarterly. JAS publishes multidisciplinary work on Asia, spanning the arts, history, literature, the social sciences,
