All abstracts of accepted manuscripts will be published in the ACBES Conference Handbook, which will be assigned an official ISBN. The Handbook will include the full conference program together with author information and all accepted abstracts. It is important to note that only abstracts will be published; the conference does not publish full papers in proceedings to maintain authors’ flexibility and eligibility for subsequent journal publication.

After the conference, authors are strongly encouraged to further revise and submit their papers to the Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies (JABES) through the official submission system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jabes. During the editorial process, authors are expected to respond promptly, ensure academic integrity and accuracy, and keep communications with the editors confidential until official decisions are issued. JABES follows a strict human authorship policy, meaning only humans can be listed as authors and generative AI cannot be recognized as an author. AI tools may only be used for language editing, polishing, or formatting, and any such use must be clearly declared with the tool name and version. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, validity, ethical integrity, and reliability of their work.

For studies involving human subjects, ethical approval, informed consent, anonymity protection, and compliance with institutional and legal requirements must be transparently presented. Manuscripts submitted to JABES must be original, not under review elsewhere, and compliant with copyright and publishing ethics, including similarity screening and conflict-of-interest disclosure. A structured abstract of no more than 250 words is compulsory and should clearly present the purpose, methodology, findings, and originality of the study, with additional implications included where appropriate. Full papers should generally not exceed 6,000 words, and while justified exceptions may be considered, manuscripts above 7,500 words are not accepted. JABES also encourages transparency and openness in research practices, including proper citation of datasets, code, and research materials where applicable, while respecting privacy and data protection requirements.

In terms of scholarly positioning, JABES particularly values research that is policy-driven, problem-oriented, and demonstrably meaningful to practice rather than purely academic exercises. Submissions are expected to be grounded in Asian or emerging-market contexts while offering insights that remain relevant in a broader global conversation. Papers should be situated within active scholarly debates with clearly defined research gaps, supported by strong and credible methodology with attention to robustness, identification, heterogeneity, and causality when feasible. Originality is expected not merely from the use of new datasets, but from clear theoretical reasoning and convincing explanations of why and how relationships exist. Ultimately, manuscripts are expected to deliver dual contributions: meaningful advancement to theory and substantive policy or managerial
