Log in to your account at our online portal and retrieve discount codes from the Members-Only Benefits page.

One-year subscriptions to AAS publications

Your benefits include a one-year subscription to the Journal of Asian Studies (JAS) and monthly newsletters from our blog, #AsiaNow.

#AsiaNow blog: The monthly digest will be emailed to the Institutional Administrator.

Journal of Asian Studies (JAS): To access the online JAS, log into your account at the online portal, navigate to the Members-Only Benefits page, and select the “Access the Journal of Asian Studies” link. This will open the Cambridge University Press website. There is no need to register or log into Cambridge’s site once you reach this page. Simply scroll down the page, and select the article(s) from the latest JAS. Older issues are available via the “All Issues” link.

How to redeem your Job Ad discount:
