The Journal of Chinese Studies is managed by an editorial board headed by a chairman who serves as chief editor and assisted by an associate chief editor. Past chairmen included Professor Ch'uan Han-sheng (1968–78), Professor D. C. Lau (1979–94), Professor Chan Hok-lam (1995–2011), Professor H. Samuel Cheung (2011–14), and Professor Wang Fan-sen (2014–16). The current chief editor is Professor Lai Chi Tim. He is appointed by the Director of the Institute of Chinese Studies.

The Journal was founded in September 1968 under the name of The Journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong; 22 volumes had been published under this title. It was superseded by the current title, in 1992, and the inaugural issue was designated the commemorative volume of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Institute. Volumes 2–10 carried two parts; subsequent volumes were published in a single volume until 2009. From 2010 onwards, it is published biannually, in January and July. Earlier volumes carried articles in both Chinese and English, but in recent years there have been fewer English language contributions.

The time frame of coverage and subject-matters of the scholarly articles being published over the past decades vary widely, ranging from the prehistorical era to modern and contemporary China, and from archaeology, ancient artifacts and documents, classical, modern and contemporary literature, philosophy and history, Buddhist, Taoist and other religious traditions and thought, epigraphy, etymology, phonology, the arts and music, science and technology, architecture, medicine, literary and popular culture, cultural development and changes, to historical and contemporary personages, political, social and economic history, Sino-foreign political, intellectual and cultural relations, and sundry others. In short, they run the gamut of Chinese history and civilization from the earliest times to the present. All manuscripts are subject to blind peer review and to the editorial discretion of the editors.

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Chinese Studies (hereafter “the Board”) was set up by the Institute of Chinese Studies with the purpose of promoting academic research and encouraging exchange of research outcomes.

The Board is responsible for receiving submissions, reviewing manuscripts, and overseeing matters related to publication, distribution, and funding of the Journal.

The Chief Editor of the Journal is appointed by the Pro-Vice Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (hereafter “CUHK”). The Associate Editor and 5 Board Members are nominated by the Chief Editor, and will assume duties upon approval by the University. While the Chief Editor, the Associate Editor, and three of the Board Members shall be scholars of CUHK, two Board Members shall be external scholars. The appointment of Board Members is tenable for a period of three years in the first instance and may be renewed.

The Journal hires a full-time Executive Editor and a Secretary.

The Board meetings will be chaired by the Chief Editor and held no less than twice per year.

The Chief Editor and the Executive Editor will be responsible for organizing manuscript review, publication schedule, and all other editorial matters. The Executive Editor will be in charge of the liaison in the areas of manuscript review, editing, proofreading, and related editorial and administrative matters. The Chinese University Press is entrusted with the tasks of printing and distribution of the Journal.

The constitution is put into effect with the approval by the Board. Any amendments or changes will be valid only after going through the same procedure.

Journal of Chinese Studies (formerly The Journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong), published twice a year in January and July, is devoted to Chinese Studies.

In all editorial matters, the final decision rests with the Editorial Board. If its publication is delayed for technical reasons, an article may be kept for a subsequent issue.
