Études mongoles et sibériennes, centrasiatiques et tibétaines (EMSCAT), founded in 1970 as Études mongoles et sibériennes, is one of the oldest currently published journals dealing with the Mongol world and surround areas in eastern Asia. In 1976, EMSCAT expanded coverage to include Siberia, and in 2004, central Asia and Tibet. Although one world is Muslim and the other Buddhist, the aim is not to deal with Buddhism or Islam in their own right. It is rather to study these worlds as parts of a vast whole, from the Arctic Sea to the Himalayas, favoring comparative perspectives.

It is EMSCAT's intention to provide a forum for scholarship on cultural issues by both established scholars and young researchers new to the field. The editorial line encompasses regular issues, monographs, and comparative thematic issues often produced by guest editors. The journal is published annually.(2009-03-24)
