Scholarly Journal Publishing in Malaysia

Abstract

Exploring the nature and extent of scholarly publishing in Malaysia, Merina Hew observes that, despite the country's body of productive scholarship, publishing reputable, recognized scholarly journals is extremely difficult. A general problem with limited funding and a dearth of technical, editorial, and academic specialization among journal editors makes the sustained success of these journals difficult. The growing numbers of journals and the fact that many are bilingual (English and Bahasa Melayu), thus broadening their potential audience, points certainly to the potential of Malaysian scholarly publishing.
