The Journal of Near Eastern Studies is a prestigious and academically valuable journal that focuses on the study of ancient civilizations in the Near East region. It not only covers a wide time span from prehistoric times to classical times, but also encompasses a vast geographical area spanning from the Middle East, the eastern Mediterranean to the Caucasus region.

Our academic contributions come from internationally renowned scholars who have in-depth research and unique insights in Assyrian studies, Egyptology, Hittite studies, Hebrew Bible studies, and related fields of the ancient Near East. These studies not only provide valuable perspectives for our understanding of ancient Near Eastern civilizations, but also have a profound impact on the study of global ancient civilizations. Special attention is also paid to early, medieval, and early modern Islamic studies, which further expands the research field of the journal to cover continuous historical periods from ancient times to the Middle Ages. This cross generational research perspective helps to reveal the mutual influence and continuity of historical development between different civilizations.
