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
