Monumenta Taiwanica is an annual journal published by the Department of Taiwan Culture, Languages and Literature of National Taiwan Normal University. Submissions of academic papers regarding Taiwan culture, languages, literature, history, communications, politics, and social change are all welcomed. The Journal especially looks forward to seeing cross-disciplinary papers of the aforementioned fields. With the rapid change of time and space in Taiwan, we hope to see problematics closer to issues themselves and exploration approaches more creative so that we can engage in academic dialogues and establish theories of Taiwan studies.

Monumenta Taiwanica is currently included in database such as Airiti Library, Taiwan Academic Online, Lawdata, HyRead Journal, and Taiwan Journals Search. It is circulated in over 200 college libraries and public libraries in Taiwan, and has been a regular collection for UCSB in the US, University of Alberta in Canada, Free University of Berlin & Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany, the Czech Academy of Science, and the National Library of China.
