Aims and scope
Advances in Social Behavior Research (ASBR) is a monthly open-access, peer-reviewed journal hosted by the Singapore International Management Research Centre (affiliated to NTU Nanyang Cultural Endowment Fund) and published by EWA Publishing. Distinct from discipline-centric journals, ASBR takes interdisciplinary integration, public governance practicability and social decision reference as its core value orientation, laying equal stress on the research’s livelihood improvement and public security guarantee value, and conveys such value to social psychology scholars, grassroots civil servants, media practitioners and social science educators by supplying multi-layered behavioral analysis frameworks and grassroots governance evidence to support their research and daily work.
Covering social science, communication, education, psychology, political science, law and sports studies, ASBR prioritizes methodologically standardized research that balances profound theoretical deduction and systematic empirical observation. It interprets intricate social behavioral logic under strict academic norms, accumulating credible research outcomes to fuel disciplinary iteration and grassroots social practice. Supported by standardized peer review and open-access operation, it breaks disciplinary barriers to enable sustained cross-field academic dialogue and global scholarly exchange.
The journal explores social behavior across micro individual psychology, meso organizational operation and macro social structure, accumulating standardized research conclusions to serve public policy optimization, public affair operation and social governance decision-making. Centered on author-oriented, streamlined publishing workflows, ASBR creates thoughtful, efficient international publishing channels for global researchers. It welcomes logically rigorous standardized manuscripts that deepen public cognition of diversified social behaviors and enrich cross-disciplinary social science research accumulation.
