The ISS/Oxford Prize for Modern Japanese Studies is awarded by Oxford University Press in conjunction with the Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo. The prize is valued at 50,000 yen plus a free year’s subscription to Social Science Japan Journal and £50 worth of OUP books is awarded to the author of the best article published each year in Social Science Japan Journal. The winner is selected by the members of the Journal's editorial and advisory boards, based on the quality and originality of the article and its contribution towards advancing the field of Japanese studies.
Oxford University Press and the ISS hope that the establishment of this new prize will help in a small way to raise standards within the field of Japanese studies, to raise the profile of Japanese studies scholars, and to encourage new authors to publish in Social Science Japan Journal.
The prize-winning paper, with the author's consent, will also be translated into Japanese and published in Shakai Kagaku Kenkyû (the Journal of Social Science), the Japanese-language journal published by the ISS, with a view to enhancing the role of Social Science Japan Journal as a bridge between the Japanese and English-language social-science communities.
