Anthony Cheung, who had been Iriye’s graduate student at University of Chicago but dropped out to work at University of Chicago Press, then founded an independent publishing house in Chicago, Imprint Publications. Cheung convinced Iriye, Cohen, and May that the field could support a journal to carry on the work of the Committee. JAEAR also received early support from Frank Gibney, who established the Pacific Basin Institute in Claremont, California. The first issue appeared in spring 1992.
