Read more about 2025 Publication Cut-Off Dates and New Requirements for 2026 SubmissionsThe Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), as the owner and publisher of the Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR), emphasizes the importance of maintaining academic integrity across all its publications.
In accordance with the guidelines established by reputable international scholarly and professional organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network, the editorial board of ALPS has identified irregularities in the references of certain manuscripts submitted for publication. These irregularities raise concerns about potential violations of ethical standards and our journal policies, possibly resulting from the inappropriate use of AI tools.
Therefore, ALPS issues the following guidelines:
1) Authors suspected of engaging in unethical practices related to AI or reference integrity will be given an opportunity to clarify the circumstances surrounding the irregularities.
2) If the explanation is sincere and demonstrates unintentional error, authors will be allowed to correct the issues before proceeding further with the publication process.
3) If the explanation is unsatisfactory or indicates deliberate misconduct, the submission will be rejected, and the authors will be subject to our blacklisting policy.
For articles that have bypassed the review process or have already been published, ALPS reserves the right to retract such articles retroactively in order to uphold the scholarly standards and integrity of our publications. Additionally, notifications will be sent to the respective academic institutions regarding any misconduct to ensure proper oversight.
ALPS remains committed to promoting ethical research and publication practices across all its journals.

Read more about Special Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver for International Authors (2025-2027)The Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS) is committed to continuously improving the quality and impact of its journals. As part of this ongoing commitment, ALPS submitted its journals for indexing in leading international databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS).
While initial evaluations did not result in immediate acceptance for all journals, ALPS received highly positive and constructive feedback from both database providers. The feedback emphasized a few key areas for improvement, which ALPS has diligently addressed across its journal portfolio.
These areas primarily concern further strengthening the quality of published articles, enhancing the international scope of cited literature, and more explicitly connecting articles to global scholarly debates within each journal's respective field.
To meet these requirements and to elevate all ALPS journals to a new level of international excellence, ALPS is implementing the following enhancements:
These enhancements are designed to benefit all stakeholders:
These initiatives will improve each journal's readiness for evaluations by national (TCI) and international (Scopus and WoS) databases and provide the tools needed to elevate the published research to the highest standards.
ALPS is confident that these efforts will significantly enhance the quality and international standing of all its journals, making them even more valuable resources for scholars and practitioners in their respective fields.

Asian Crime and Society Review
The acceptance/rejection rate serves as one of the most widely recognized indicators for assessing the quality of an academic journal. The editorial team of the Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR) acknowledges the necessity of transparency in journal publishing and has been gathering, analyzing, and disclosing this information since 2023. In the year 2024, a total of 25 articles were submitted for review, of which 24 were accepted for publication and 1 were rejected. Consequently, the acceptance rate for articles submitted to ACSR in 2024 is 96.00%.
Read more about Acceptance/Rejection Rates for 2024The Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR) has been assessed and certified by the Thai Journal Citation Index Center for inclusion in the TCI database, categorizing it in Tier 1 (the highest tier) for the evaluation of journal quality within the TCI database, Round 5, effective from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029, the journal aims to elevate its quality further in preparation for assessment by international databases such as Scopus and WoS. The editorial board, therefore, requires that every article submitted for consideration for publication in ACSR must clearly identify the "contribution" and "novelty" of each article in at least two sections: 1) at the end of the "Abstract" and 2) at the "Conclusion and Discussion" section. This should be presented as a narrative rather than as separate subheadings. Articles that do not comply with this requirement may be asked to make revisions before the editor assigns them for review by external reviewers. Furthermore, if, at the final stage, the editor-in-chief finds that the authors have not sufficiently addressed these elements, those articles may ultimately be rejected for publication in ACSR. The judgment of the EIC shall be final, and authors will not be able to request a refund of the article processing charge.
Read more about Enhancing the Quality of ACSR by Clearly Identifying the Contribution and Novelty of Each Submitted ArticleAsian Crime and Society Review values measuring the journal's quality by acknowledging and referencing articles published in the journal to expand the academic community's knowledge. Therefore, ACSR monitors the number of times its articles are cited by articles published in journals indexed in national and international databases.
In 2020-2023, articles published in ACSR were cited in journals whose index in Scopus totaled 36 times, while ACSR published 42 articles during the same period. Therefore, its CiteScore for 2023 is 0.86. As of December 31, 2024, the CiteScore tracker 2024 (Q4) will likely increase to 0.88.
In 2022-2023, articles published in ACSR were cited in journals whose index in TCI totaled 17 times, while ACSR published 21 articles during the same period. Therefore, its impact factor for 2023 is 0.81. As of December 31, 2024, the IF tracker 2024 (Q4) will likely decline to 0.48.
Read more about ACSR Scopus CiteScore / TCI Impact Factor 2024 (Q4)Submission to First Decision: Manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team, assessed for quality by peer reviewers, and the editorial team sends the first decision back to the authors so that they can improve the quality according to suggestions (if any), including formatting as required by the journal. This takes approximately 35.42 days.
First Decision to Acceptance: The authors have improved the quality of the manuscript according to the recommendations of reviewers, and formatted it as specified by the journal until it is complete and accurate according to the journal's standards, including being accepted for publication in approximately 28.05 days.
Acceptance to Publication: The production process after the manuscript has been accepted and published takes approximately 11.74 days.
The operational efficiency of ACSR's editorial team in 2024 is much better than the previous year. The original time spent throughout the process from article submission to publication was 117.60 days, reduced to only 75.21 days. However, the editorial team is committed to reducing the time period to comply with the editorial team's policy that from article submission to acceptance should not take more than 45 days. The editorial team will try to gradually reduce the time period in the article review process by reviewers to no more than 28 days by 2025 and no more than 14 days by 2027.
Read more about ACSR 2024 Peer Review MetricsIn order to accommodate the increasing volume of articles in the journals under the responsibility of the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the association has decided to change the article sorting format of all journals (AISR, ACSR, APSR, AAMR, AELR, & TISR) from “page numbers” to “article number” as used in the case of Procedia of Multidisciplinary Research (PMR), starting from the first issue of 2025 onwards.

This is because the acceptance/rejection rate is one of the most popular indicators used to consider the quality of a journal. The Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR) editorial team recognizes the importance of transparency in journal publishing and has collected, analyzed, and disclosed such information starting in 2023 onwards. In the year 2023, there were 16 articles submitted for consideration. There were 12 articles accepted for publication. There were 4 rejected articles. Therefore, the ACSR article acceptance rate for 2023 is equal to 75.00%.
Read more about Acceptance/Rejection Rates for 2023According to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to consider and approve human research ethics for the research projects of the association's researchers and external researchers. From now on, all research manuscripts that will be submitted to be considered for publication in the association's journals, research must be given importance and conducted in strict accordance with ethical standards for human research.
All research articles involving human subjects should receive human research ethics approval from a human research ethics committee of a reputable agency. Those articles must include details of human research ethics certification, including the name of the certifying agency and committee and the certification number. For research articles that have not previously received human research ethics approval, detail the conditions for exemption from approval and the procedures the researcher has used to ensure that the research complies with the ethical standards of human research must be clearly stated. All these details, both in certified and non-certified cases, are set out in the Research Methodology section.
The editors may consider and decide to reject any submissions that do not provide these details, especially those that may not comply with ethical standards for human research.

Read more about Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Buriram Rajabhat University, Thailand will become the co-publisher and the Dean will be the co-editor of IJCLSIPerspectives on the peer review process have shifted from anonymity between authors and reviewers as a means of preventing bias to transparency to allow members of the academic community to jointly review the process. As a result, we found that many of the world's largest and most well-known publishers such as Springer Nature, Frontiers, MDPI, and BMJ have all switched their traditional review models to open peer review.
Therefore, in order to make the article quality assessment process of IJCLSI more efficient, we have decided to change the peer review model of articles submitted for publication in our journal to open peer review from Vol. 9 No. 2 (July-December 2022) onwards. This means that the names of the handling editor, reviewers, and authors will be disclosed to each other throughout the review process. Also, the name of the handling editor and reviewers will also be mentioned in the article once it has been published.
