Journal of ASIAN Behavioural Studies (jABs) ISSN: 2180-4567
jABs 3(9) March/April 2013
Journal of Asian Behavioural Studies (jABs) is an international and interdisciplinary journal that publicises both conceptual and empirical research findings pertaining to general behavioural issues affecting Asian communities living in Asia and non-Asian countries. Related studies that involved other communities shall also be considered for publications.
Editorial Board meetings of jABs are normally held twice in a year in conjunction with the AcE-Bs and AicE-Bs conferences organised by cE-Bs. The main purpose of the meeting cum workshop is to select conference papers for possible publications in the journals.
During ajE-Bs's Editorial Board meeting held on 6th July 2010 in conjunction with AcE-Bs 2010, Kuching, 7-8 July 2010, it was decided that ajE-Bs should focuss only on the spatial context of human behaviour. There were quite a number of excellent papers presented at AcE-Bs 2010 which however would not be appropriate to be published in ajE-Bs. Hence, the idea for a sister journal to ajE-Bs, the jABs.
Articles for publications are sourced from selected double-blind internationally peer-reviewed papers presented at the three serial annual conferences – the AcE-Bs (ASEAN Conference on Environment-Behaviour Studies) held in ASEAN countries in the middle of the year, AicE-Bs (Asia / Pacific International Conference on Environment-Behaviour Studies) held in non-ASEAN countries at the end of the year, and AicQoL (AMER International Conference on Quality of Life) held in Malaysia in the first quarter of the year. Commencing 2013, the journals shall be published bimonthly.
