An Introduction
The List of Buddhist Periodicals is so far the most comprehensive of its kind on the net. Together with the "Bibliographies of Buddhist Studies Bibliographies" and the "Bibliography of Translations from the Chinese Canon" it is intended to serve as a bibliographic tool for Buddhist research. We included the basic bibliographical information for each periodical, and, where available, a link to the journal itself or its publisher.
The list as it stands now includes more than 1200 titles in 20 languages. There are three divisions:
The first part (in ABC-order) is for non-CJK periodicals directly related to Buddhism. The second part comprises Chinese, Japanese and Korean Journals listed in stroke order. These first two parts are not limited to scholarly publications. The third part is a list for "related journals", scholarly periodicals that sometimes feature articles on Buddhism.
The list comes as an Excel file, which has the disadvantage that you can only use it if you have Win-Excel on your computer. The advantages are certain Excel functions. It is for example possible to view a list of Korean periodicals only, or to find all Buddhist Journals published in Paris. With the necessary fonts you will be able to see titles displayed in CJK-characters, Thai and Vietnamese.
Most of the input and the search for links was done by Wang Huiyi and Ceng Zhanhong. Several people helped us with languages: Ven. Zhanzhou (Korean), Ven. Heli (Vietnamese), Baipu (Thai). Thank you very much!
We still need correction for Mongolian and Tibetan and hope someone could volunteer to check the journals in question and perhaps even add some titles. As usual we encourage and are grateful for all kind of feedback, corrections and additions.
May all beings be happy!
