Important Notice Regarding the Cut-off Date for Publication in Issue 2, 2026
The Asian Political Science Review sincerely thanks you for the overwhelming interest and the high volume of quality submissions we have received.
As we have successfully gathered a sufficient number of high-quality, accepted articles for our upcoming publication, the Editorial Board has decided to set a strict cut-off date. The final date for manuscript acceptance for publication in Issue 2, 2026, will be September 30, 2026.
Please take note of the following important guidelines:
- Future Publications: Any manuscript that successfully passes the review process and is officially accepted on or after October 1, 2026, will be scheduled for publication in Issue 1, 2027.
- Articles Currently Under Review/Revision: Authors who are currently in the peer-review or revision stages and specifically wish to be published in the 2026 issue must expedite their revisions. Your manuscript must achieve final acceptance by the end of this month (September 30, 2026).
- New Submissions: Similarly, prospective authors who have not yet submitted their work but intend to publish exclusively in the 2026 issue must also complete the entire submission and review process to achieve final acceptance before this deadline.
This cut-off date is essential to give our editorial team enough time to organize, format, and publish Issue 2, 2026, on schedule. Timely publication is a critical requirement of Web of Science (WoS), and maintaining this standard is essential as our journal is currently undergoing the quality evaluation process for WoS indexing.
We deeply appreciate your understanding, prompt cooperation, and continued support in helping us maintain the highest international publishing standards.
