Asia Policy: a peer-reviewed journal devoted to bridging the gap between academic research and policymaking on issues related to the Asia-Pacific

Asia Policy publishes, in descending order of emphasis, three types of peer-reviewed articles:

• social scientific research articles that both use social science theories, concepts, and approaches and draw clear and concise policy implications on issues of import to the region
• research notes that present, in a well-organized format, new and important descriptive information of use to policymakers, especially on topics that have traditionally been underrepresented in the literature
• policy analyses that present original, persuasive, analytically rigorous, and clear and concise research-based argumentation on crucial policy matters

To help bridge the gap between academic research and the policymaking realm, we require that all submissions meet the criteria spelled out in the Guidelines for Submission, which are available both online and in each issue of the journal. Submissions should avoid as much as possible the use of academic jargon and must include a one-page Executive Summary that succinctly describes the topic, main argument, and policy implications of the article. Each submission will be subject to an anonymous peer review process that includes critiques from both the academic and policy communities. Submissions may be sent to <submissions@nbr.org>.

Asia Policy will also occasionally include other formats—e.g., essays, debates, and roundtables—on issues related to bridging the gap. We will focus particular attention on formats that allow for the exchange of ideas among academics, policymakers, and those whose experience straddles both worlds.
