IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 2025-05-02
2025-05-02
For Authors and Researchers
We are pleased to formally announce the launch of our new manuscript submission platform, Emerald-ScholarOne, developed in collaboration with EPS-EMERALD PUBLISHING SERVICES effective today: May 2, 2025.
This platform represents the culmination of a concerted and rigorous development effort. Following a successful testing phase, it is now fully operational and ready to support our scholarly community with improved efficiency and accessibility.
Three important notes for prospective authors:
- No submission or publication fees will be charged to authors, owing to the generous sponsorship of Assumption University. However, we will publish only 5 articles per issue or 20 articles per year.
- Our updated Aims & Scope no longer includes Finance-related papers. Submissions in this area will not be considered for review.
- Authors are strongly encouraged to read and fully adhere to the updated Author Guidelines before submitting their manuscripts, to ensure smooth and efficient processing.
Submission Instructions:
Authors are kindly invited to submit their manuscripts via the new platform at the following link: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/abacj
Please Note:
The remaining three issues for the year 2025 (Volume 45, Issues No. 2, 3, and 4) will continue to be published on the ABAC Journal OJS website: abacjournal.au.edu. This site will remain permanently accessible for readers seeking publications from 2025 and all prior years archived therein.
Authors who have already submitted their manuscripts via our OJS platform are not required to resubmit. These submissions will be considered for inclusion in the 2025 issues, subject to the outcome of the peer review process. Authors will be notified of the editorial decision in due course.
For any inquiries or further information, please contact us at: abacjournal@au.edu
