Crafting Excellence in Publishing: Streamline editorial policies with our Expert-Designed Templates

The Asian Council of Science Editors has meticulously crafted Editorial Policies for both open access and subscription-based journals. Developed in collaboration with seasoned industry experts, these policies are designed to champion the cause of integrity and transparency in scholarly publishing. Recognizing the diverse needs of journals across the spectrum, we offer these policies as customizable templates. Journals can adopt these policies in their entirety or modify them to suit their specific requirements. Our goal is to empower journals to establish robust editorial standards, ensuring credibility and fostering trust within the academic community.
