Transition to a Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) Model

2026-09-27

The Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS) is pleased to announce a strategic enhancement to the publication framework across all our affiliated journals.

Effective from the 2027 volume onwards, every journal under the ALPS umbrella will officially transition to a full Continuous Article Publishing (CAP) model. Under this system, the traditional publication of multiple discrete issues per year will be replaced by a single, continuous annual volume.

To ensure rapid dissemination of scholarly work, all accepted manuscripts will be assigned a DOI and published online immediately after successful completion of peer review, acceptance, and final typesetting. Authors will no longer need to wait for a scheduled issue release, thereby accelerating the visibility, accessibility, and impact of their research.

Each journal's Editorial Board will establish and announce an annual cut-off date to effectively manage the publication workflow for the given year. Manuscripts achieving final acceptance after this cut-off will automatically be published in the following year's volume.

ALPS remains committed to advancing high-impact interdisciplinary research and continuously elevating our editorial operations to meet the highest international publishing standards.

Sincerely,

Associate Professor Dr. Thanaporn SRIYAKUL

President, Association of Legal & Political Studies

The Asian Crime and Society Review (ACSR) (e-ISSN: 3027-6896) is a premier open-access, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing high-impact scholarly research at the intersection of law, criminal justice, and societal dynamics. Co-published by the Association of Legal & Political Studies (Thailand) and White Tiger Legal, Business and Research Consultants Co., Ltd., in academic collaboration with the Criminal Justice Department, Midwestern State University (USA), and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Buriram Rajabhat University (Thailand), ACSR serves as a dynamic platform for global researchers, legal practitioners, and policymakers.
To effectively accommodate and rigorously evaluate a diverse spectrum of specialized disciplines, the ACSR Editorial Board operates under three dedicated divisions: the Criminology and Criminal Justice Section, the Law Section, and the Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Issues Section. Operating under a transparent open peer-review process, all three sections ensure the highest standards of academic rigor, integrity, and ethical publication. ACSR is fundamentally committed to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and disseminating cutting-edge knowledge that addresses the complex challenges of crime, legal frameworks, and social transformation in the modern era.
