- The attributed individual contributed a solo authored chapter of 11,000 words and co-authored equally the Introduction of 6,500 words. This volume had its origin in an international conference that the attributed individual envisaged and convened on portrait photography in Asia. The attributed individual released a call for papers and solicited contributions from scholars around the world. The two-day conference took place at the Australian National University, Canberra, in association with the Humanities Research Centre and the National Gallery of Australia. After this event, the attributed individual decided to pursue an edited volume on studio portrait photography in China and Japan, and invited the coeditor to work with them. The coeditors submitted a full proposal to Ashgate Publishing, which was subsequently acquired by Routledge shortly after the contract had been signed. The latter press had little experience with East Asian languages and transliteration conventions, placing additional burdens of proofreading, transliteration standardization, and diacritical corrections on the coeditors (seven sets of proofs). Prior to production, the coeditors independently provided feedback on all the submissions and edited the submissions according to accepted protocols for East Asian studies. The co-editors conceived of the organization and arrangement of the essays to emphasize the volume’s key themes and intellectual concerns. In addition, the coeditors compiled the glossary of terms and characters as well as the volume bibliography. The benefit of the short-form citation system was a combined bibliography that provided a single translation for Chinese and Japanese-language sources. The attributed individual also worked closely with another on the volume’s appendix of an important Japanese-language primary source. The coeditors were committed to a volume that showcased the work of middle and early career researchers in this emerging field of scholarship.
