The IAFOR Journal of the Social Sciences is an internationally reviewed and editorially independent interdisciplinary journal associated with the Asian Conference on the Social Sciences

The journal is internationally reviewed. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference proceedings are selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject to normal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included in any given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference journal. The editor(s) may also commission articles or accept them through open call.
