Études mongoles & sibériennes, centrasiatiques & tibétaines

The journal Études mongoles was founded in 1970 by Roberte Hamayon, and is currently housed in the Centre for Mongolian and Siberian Studies of the École Pratique des Hautes Études. It expanded its fields of research to Siberia in 1976, then to Central Asia and Tibet in 2004 when it became Études mongoles & sibériennes, centrasiatiques & tibétaines (EMSCAT). The “Nord-Asie” series is a printed supplement to EMSCAT dedicated to the publication of monographs.

EMSCAT publishes original work, in French or English, by French and foreign researchers. Since 2009, it is published online only on the OpenEdition Journals platform, in open access.

The journal is published with the support of the East Asian Civilizations Research Centre (CRCAO-UMR 8155). Several members of the Unit are members of the editorial team of the journal: Quentin Devers, Charles Ramble and Marta Sernesi are members of its editorial board, and Charlotte Thionois is the Desk editor.
