Devoted to an examination of the civilizations of the Near East, the
Journal of Near Eastern Studies has for more than 120 years
published contributions from scholars of international reputation on the
archaeology, art, history, languages, literatures, and religions of the
Near East.
Founded in 1884 as Hebraica, the journal was renamed
twice over the course of the following century, each name change
reflecting the growth and expansion of the fields covered by the
publication. In 1895 it became the American Journal of Semitic
Languages and Literatures, and in 1942 it received its present
designation, the Journal of Near Eastern Studies. From an
original emphasis on Old Testament studies in the nineteenth century,
JNES has since broadened its scope to encompass all aspects of
the vibrant and varied civilizations of the Near East, from ancient times
to World War I.
A substantial book review section in every issue provides a
critical overview of new publications by both emerging and established
scholars. In addition, the journal publishes biannually a list of books
received.
Authors can submit manuscripts here and track their progress through the system. Reviewers can download manuscripts and submit their reviews to the editor.
