Subject: The Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies (JAPAS) invites theoretical, empirical, and practice-based
manuscripts about the plain Anabaptists from the sciences, humanities, and service/applied professions. While JAPAS has
a particular focus on the Amish, it also addresses the Apostolic Christian, Brethren/German Baptist, Bruderhof, Hutterite,
Russian Mennonite, Swiss Mennonite, and related traditions.
Content: JAPAS accepts original research, research notes, research briefs (under 1,500 words, especially encouraged for
students and scholars new to plain Anabaptists), service provider reports that discuss a practical project, organized sympo-
siums, review essays, and the research of members from plain Anabaptist churches. See www.amishstudies.org for more
details about these categories. Publishers or authors wishing to submit a book for review should contact the editor.
Format: Referencing style is similar to the American Journal of Sociology; see recent issues for examples. Given the multi-
disciplinary nature of our subject matter, authors may request to use the Chicago Manual of Style when the above style
would force an unnatural fit; a bibliography is still required. Correct formatting is not required on an initial submission,
although authors must bring the manuscript into conformity if accepted.
Submissions: All manuscripts should be submitted online (ideaexchange.uakron.edu/amishstudies/) or by postal mail
(JAPAS, 7010 State Route 241, Millersburg, OH 44654). At the time of publication, at least one author must be a member
of the Amish & Plain Anabaptist Studies Association (www.amishstudies.org). Include an anonymized manuscript, a sepa-
rate title page, and a cover letter to the editor.
Publishing: The Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies Association (APASA) in collaboration with the University of Akron,
Akron, Ohio, publishes JAPAS semiannually. The journal is available as open access and in print form with an association
membership. As supply remains, individual back issues are $18 each, inclusive of U.S. shipping; contact the editor to order.
Association: APASA welcomes to its membership scholars, service providers, instructors, plain people, and others inter-
ested in plain Anabaptist research. Membership is based on a calendar year. Membership benefits include a reduced rate
on a print journal subscription, subscription to the APASA email list (regular posts include professional news, events, new
publications, news articles, and more), a reduced rate for the annual APASA mini-conference, discussion groups, and sup-
port for members’ work. To join, visit www.amishstudies.org or write to the editor.
