Special Editions
The Journal of Asia Entrepreneurship and Sustainability (JAES) publishes Special Issues and Special Editions dedicated to emerging themes, contemporary research topics, and selected academic collaborations in the fields of entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation, business development, and socio-economic studies.
Special Issues may be organized independently by the journal or in collaboration with academic conferences, research groups, universities, or scholarly organizations.
Types of Special Issues
JAES publishes two categories of special publications:
1. Conference-Based Special Editions
These editions include selected papers presented at academic conferences, symposiums, workshops, or seminars aligned with the journal’s scope.
2. Thematic Special Issues
These issues focus on a specific research theme or emerging topic and are open to submissions from the broader academic community. Such issues may be coordinated by guest editors or members of the editorial board.
Editorial Process and Peer Review
All submissions to Special Issues and Special Editions must comply with the journal’s editorial and ethical standards.
- Every manuscript undergoes peer review according to JAES editorial policies
- Acceptance is based on academic merit, originality, relevance, and reviewer recommendations
- Publication in a conference or presentation at an event does not guarantee acceptance
- Final editorial decisions remain with the Editor-in-Chief and JAES editorial board
- Guest editors supervise the editorial workflow under the journal’s oversight
Publication Volume
The number of articles published in a Special Issue may vary depending on the quality and number of accepted submissions. Typically, Special Issues contain 10–20 articles; however, larger issues may be published when justified by the scope of the topic, conference participation, or editorial planning.
Guest Editors
JAES may appoint guest editors from:
- Academic institutions
- Research organizations
