Key Guidelines
The JISAS Journal welcomes submissions of high-quality original research articles, review papers, case studies, and short communications in the fields of social and applied sciences. Authors are expected to follow ethical publishing standards, ensure originality, and format their work according to the journal's template.
Language
Manuscripts must be written in clear, correct English. Non-native speakers are encouraged to seek professional language editing before submission.
Manuscript Template
Use the official JISAS template, ensuring proper structure — title page, abstract, keywords, references, figures, and tables.
References
Citations must follow the prescribed style (APA/IEEE depending on article type), with DOIs or URLs included where available.
Originality
Submissions must be original and unpublished elsewhere. Plagiarism or duplicate submission results in rejection and possible blacklisting.
Submission Process
The JISAS Journal follows a structured submission and review workflow. Clear communication, transparency, and integrity are maintained throughout the process.

Publication

Article Processing Charges
To support the open access publishing model, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) — a standard fee that covers the costs of publishing in an open access journal, keeping research freely available without paywalls.
The fee supports peer review management, professional editing, typesetting, online hosting, DOI assignment, indexing, and long-term digital preservation.
JISAS is currently waiving the Article Processing Charge in full for all accepted articles. Publishing with us costs authors nothing right now.
