What is the targeted readership for Chinese Cultural Relics?

Kent D. Lee: Apart from the academic circle, our readership also includes museums that specialize in East Asian art,and to some degree the art collection market, auction houses like Sotheby's, Christies, need information in English about valuable Chinese artifacts. But the circulation is global, we also have Chinese customers.

The journal comprises translations of selected articles from the Chinese archaeology journal Wenwu. As chief editor, how do you usually select content? Is it based on readers' preferences?

Garry Guan: Each time when we do the selection, we try to reflect the original journal's diversity. Wenwu covers a wide-range of topics, Chinese art history, architecture, museum collections, even rare books, etc. But not every issue can include all categories, so we will look through the latest six issues when we make the selection to make sure each category is included.
