(JCEA)</em></strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">JCEA is a refereed biannual journal that takes a lead on a new scholarship in Asia. In the past, the JCEA was dedicated to the study of current political, social and economic trends in East and Southeast Asia. But now, the JCEA finds unique aspects of Asian scholarship by expanding its scope to (socio-technical) convergence and future (network) studies. The JCEA editors are working very hard to boost the scholarly presence of new Asian scholarship around the world and secure its reputation as an emerging world-class publishing outlet. The editors welcome manuscripts based on original research or significant reexamination of existing literature.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The editors welcome manuscripts based on original research or significant reexamination of existing literature. All manuscripts submitted should not have been published elsewhere and should have been proofread by a native speaker of English. The review process takes approximately two months.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Publication Charges </h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For manuscripts submitted <strong>after</strong> <strong>June 1st, 2023</strong>, the <em>Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia</em> requires a charge of USD 100 (KRW 150,000) for all authors. Those who publish funded research must pay an additional USD 200 or KRW 300,000. The APC is applicable to accepted manuscripts and must be paid at the time of publication. Associate Editors of JCEA and invited (internationally renowned) scholars are exempt from APC for up to one publication per year. This only applies to unfunded research.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For manuscripts submitted before <strong>June 1st, 2023</strong>, the <em>Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia</em> requires a charge of USD 210 (KRW 265,000) for authors who publish funded research and authors who are eligible for an open-access publication fee from their institutions. APC is applicable to accepted manuscripts and is to be paid upon publication. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">JCEA Associate Editors are exempt from APC for up to one publication per year.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">how to submit</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Currently, all submissions must be made through <a href="https://acoms.accesson.kr/jceasia/oprs/main/jrnlMain.do"><strong>the editorial system</strong></a>. If you encounter a technical difficulty while submitting your manuscript, please direct your questions to: <a href="mailto:hcpark@kisti.re.kr" target="_blank">hcpark@kisti.re.kr</a>. Please direct your questions about the submission process to: <a href="mailto:j.c.eastern.asia@gmail.com" target="_blank">j.c.eastern.asia@gmail.com</a></p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">choose a manuscript type</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">JCEA accepts full-length original research papers and short research papers. The journal routinely announces calls for special issue papers. Only full-length original research papers are considered for JCEA special issues, with up to five papers per issue. <strong>For special issue guidelines please click </strong><a href="/s/JCEA_Special-Issue-Guidelines.pdf"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong> To prepare a full-length paper, please note that the word limit is 8000 words.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A short research paper or rapid communications is a paper limited to 2000-3000 words. Unlike a full research paper, it focuses on quick publication of preliminary results, not yet fully proven, and thoughts that describe fundamentally new ideas. The short paper is also regarded as original research but the review time will be shorter to make sure that your new ideas get disseminated as fast as possible. Authors must include a letter justifying the reasons for the paper to be regarded as rapid communications. Note that we currently do not accept short research paper or rapid communications for our special issues. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Editor’s Note provides a platform for JCEA editors to communicate with the readers of our journal and the broader academic community. The editorial note can be anywhere from three to ten pages long and is open to the following topics: updates concerning our journal, introduction to an ongoing research project, or critical reflections on a timely topic.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Submission Preparation Checklist</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.</p><p style="margin-left:40px;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">1. The submitted manuscript is in Microsoft Word or RTF format and does not exceed 8,000 words (research articles, incl. abstract and bibliography), 2,000-3,000 words (rapid communications, incl. abstract and bibliography), or 5,000 words (book reviews, incl. abstract and bibliography) respectively.</p><p style="margin-left:40px;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">2. The submitted manuscript follows the manuscript template for in-text citations, reference lists, headings, etc.. Where available, URLs for the references other than books and journals have been provided (incl. date of access). Papers that fail to follow prescribed submission formatting will be automatically rejected.</p><p style="margin-left:40px;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">3. The submitted manuscript adheres to the journal's instructions for copyrights (outlined in the section below). Accordingly, the manuscript provides citations for text that has been published and copyrighted elsewhere, including text published by the author of the submitted manuscript. If the manuscript includes tables and figures that have been previously printed elsewhere - including materials produced by the author of the submitted manuscript - written consent from the publisher of said materials must be presented upon submission.</p><p style="margin-left:40px;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">4. To facilitate the review process, your cover letter must include the names of three experts in your area, along with their affiliations, and the reasons why you recommend these people. Peer reviewers should be experienced scholars with a track record in the area. The names should be unbiased and do not include scholars in your department, from your thesis committee, or that have served in an advisory capacity to you or the project in the past. Please note that though we will consider these suggestions, we may not necessarily use them.<br><br>5. Please submit a plagiarism check report along with your manuscript and cover letter. There are several plagiarism checker services available, such as the one from <a href="https://app.grammarly.com">Grammarly</a>.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">PUBLICATION ETHICS & Peer-review process</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">JCEA is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record.

The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines regarding peer review can be found at the following link. Please read the guidelines before accepting or declining my invitation.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Peer review in all its forms plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record. The process depends to a large extent on trust, and requires that everyone involved behaves responsibly and ethically. Peer reviewers play a central and critical part in the peer-review process, but too often come to the role without any guidance and may be unaware of their ethical obligations. The <a href="https://publicationethics.org/files/Ethical_guidelines_for_peer_reviewers_0.pdf" target="_blank">COPE Ethical Guidelines</a> for Peer Reviewers set out the basic principles and standards to which all peer reviewers should adhere during the peer-review process. It is hoped they will provide helpful guidance to researchers, be a reference for journals and editors in guiding their reviewers, and act as an educational resource for institutions in training their students and researchers.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Basic principles to which peer reviewers should adhere<br>Peer reviewers should:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">only agree to review manuscripts for which they have the subject expertise required to carry out a proper assessment and which they can assess in a timely manner</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">respect the confidentiality of peer review and not reveal any details of a manuscript or its review, during or after the peer-review process, beyond those that are released by the journal</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">not use information obtained during the peer-review process for their own or any other person’s or organization’s advantage, or to disadvantage or discredit others</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">declare all potential conflicting interests, seeking advice from the journal if they are unsure whether something constitutes a relevant interest</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">not allow their reviews to be influenced by the origins of a manuscript, by the nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender or other characteristics of the authors, or by commercial considerations</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">be objective and constructive in their reviews, refraining from being hostile or inflammatory and from making libelous or derogatory personal comments</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">acknowledge that peer review is largely a reciprocal endeavor and undertake to carry out their fair share of reviewing and in a timely manner</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">provide journals with personal and professional information that is accurate and a true representation of their expertise</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">recognize that impersonation of another individual during the review process is considered serious misconduct</p></li></ul><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Expectations during the peer-review process<br>On being approached to review Peer reviewers should:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">respond in a reasonable time-frame, especially if they cannot do the review, and without intentional delay.</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">declare if they do not have the subject expertise required to carry out the review or if they are able to assess only part of the manuscript, outlining clearly the areas for which they have the relevant expertise.</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">only agree to review a manuscript if they are fairly confident they can return a review within the proposed or mutually agreed time-frame, informing the journal promptly if they require an extension.</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">declare any potentially conflicting or competing interests (which may, for example, be personal, financial, intellectual, professional, political or religious), seeking advice from the journal if they are unsure whether something constitutes a relevant interest.</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">follow journals’ policies on situations they consider to represent a conflict to reviewing.
