Open Access Policy
ASEAN Journal of Community Engagement is an Open Access journal affiliated with a non-profit government institution. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research available to the public for free supports a greater global exchange of knowledge regarding community engagement.
As an open-access journal, AJCE allows the reader to read, download, copy, distribute, print, retrieve, link to the complete text, and retrieve access. It is publicly accessible on the internet, permitting users to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format and remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially (CC BY-SA 4.0). Thus, it is hoped that all readers and authors of the ASEAN Journal of Community Engagement will benefit from free and open access, enhancing accessibility and use for the scientific community, community practitioners, and the community worldwide.
Publication Charges
The AJCE is an open-access journal and does not charge readers or institutions for access. There are no charges for manuscript submission, article processing, publication of manuscripts, or color reproduction of photographs. There is also no waiver policy. The ASEAN Journal of Community Engagement offsets the facilities, including English Proofreading and long-term archiving with Bepress Digital Common because no fees are charged for access, submission, and publication.
The use of articles is free of charge with attributions to the authors. For authors, there are no charges for manuscript submission, article processing, publication of manuscripts, or color reproduction of photographs.
Peer Review Process
All articles submitted to the editorial staff will undergo Initial Screening by the Editorial Board, including a Similarity Check with iThenticate to prevent any suspected plagiarism in the manuscripts. Afterward, the articles will be sent to peer reviewers for the next selection step, the Double-Blind Review Process. Each manuscript will be peer-reviewed in terms of the substantial and technical aspects. The peer review team consists of all experienced reviewers who manage and publish national and international academic journals. After the review process, the articles will be returned to the authors for revision. A similarity check of the article will be conducted again before it is published.
Authorship Policy
Authorship means someone who has contributed significantly to the manuscript and shares responsibilities and/or accountability for the results/paper. If more than one author writes a manuscript, please appoint one person as the corresponding author. This person will manage all correspondence about the manuscript and sign the publishing agreement on behalf of all the authors. The author(s) must be aware of the following points:
- The author(s) have contributed significantly to the research, whether in the concept or design, data acquisition, analysis, interpretation, or all these areas.
