The Silk Road Papers is part of the Institute's Occasional Papers series. Ranging from 50 to 150 pages in length, the Papers are an avenue for the rapid publication of research in a concise and accessible yet rigorous manner. An average of six to ten Papers are produced yearly. The Papers are published electronically and in print, and are freely available online. The papers are published by the Central Asia- Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program.
To order print copies of a Silk Road Paper, please contact Ms. Johanna Popjanevski. Editorial correspondence should be addressed to the editor of the paper series, Dr. Svante Cornell.
