Japan

"Trends in Postwar Japanese Studies on Sung History: A Bibliographic Introduction"

Acta Asiatica 50 (1986): 95-120.

Of particular interest for its account of the history of Japanese Sung studies and the emergence of intellectual divisions among Japanese historians with regard to the Naitō hypothesis and the study of economic and social history, is:

J2451/5657 "Nihon ni okeru Sōdaishi kenkyū no kichō"

(The nature of Song historical studies in Japan).
Teraji Jun 寺地遵
Chūgoku shigaku 中國史學 Studies in Chinese History 1(1991):191-210.
(See below for Chinese translation.)

An earlier version of this article includes a useful bibliography:

日本における宋代史研究 (1915-1989)
(Sung historical studies in Japan)
