Special Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver for International Authors (2025-2027)

2025-05-21

The Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR) is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research on crime, deviance, and social control within the Asian context. In line with our commitment to fostering global dialogue and promoting diverse perspectives, and in response to Scopus recommendations regarding the geographical diversity of authorship and content, ACSR is pleased to announce a Special Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver for all international authors for submissions made and accepted for publication between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2027.

This initiative is designed to remove financial barriers that may prevent researchers from outside of Thailand from publishing their work in ACSR. By waiving the APC for international authors during this period, we aim to:

  • Expand the geographical scope of research on crime and society in Asia:We seek to include a wider range of experiences and perspectives on crime, justice systems, and social responses to deviance across the Asian region.
  • Support researchers in under-resourced regions: We aim to enable researchers facing financial constraints to share their valuable findings and contribute to the global understanding of crime and society.
  • Promote cross-cultural understanding of crime and justice:By publishing research from diverse cultural contexts, we hope to foster a more nuanced and informed understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to crime and social control in Asia.

Eligibility:

  • This APC waiver applies to all manuscripts submitted by corresponding authors affiliated with institutions located outside of Thailand.
  • The waiver is valid for manuscripts submitted and accepted for publication between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2027.

ACSR encourages researchers from around the globe to submit their high-quality research to the journal during this special waiver period. We look forward to receiving your submissions and contributing to a more just and equitable society.
