Deadline:
17 August 2018
Asia in Focus is introducing Themed Sections to the journal. The idea is to devote part of an issue to a theme that highlights a singular cutting-edge research problem or idea. Each Themed Section will have a Guest Editor who is an expert in the field.
Requirements
- Proposals for Themed Sections should include a brief statement (max 800 words) explaining the aims of the Themed Section
- and its particular contribution to the journal.
- A Themed Section should consist of 3 to 5 manuscripts of approximately 3500 words.
- A Themed Section will be edited by a Guest Editor who holds a PhD (or equivalent) and is an expert in the field .
Review Process
- The Guest Editor shall be responsible for selecting the manuscripts that will enter the standard Asia in Focus double-blind
- peer review process.
- The Asia in Focus Editorial Committee shall be responsible for selecting the peer reviewers and for managing the review
- process. They may, where appropriate, consult the Guest Editor for suggestions of reviewers.
- Manuscripts submitted for a Themed Section may be rejected, either with or without an invitation to resubmit.
Publication
- The Guest Editor makes the final decision as to whether the manuscripts that have successfully gone through the review
- process will be published in the Themed Section.
- The Guest Editor should provide an introduction/guest editorial to introduce the overarching theme (max 1000 words).
- In the event that fewer than 3 manuscripts are accepted, the manuscripts will not be published as a Themed Section and will
- instead be published individually.
