Aims and scope

Advances in Social Behavior Research (ASBR) is an international peer reviewed journal hosted by Singapore International Management Research Centre (the governing body of NTU Nanyang Cultural Endowment Fund, Nanyang Technological University), published by EWA Publishing. The journal covers a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences, communication, education, psychology, politics, law, and sports science. ASBR emphasizes research that integrates theoretical analysis with empirical investigation, with particular attention to methodological rigor and conceptual clarity in the study of social phenomena.

ASBR adopts an open access publishing model supported by rigorous peer review to facilitate sustained scholarly dialogue and critical exchange. The journal seeks to encourage interdisciplinary research that examines social behavior across multiple levels—from individual experience to organizational processes and broader social structures—while maintaining a clear focus on theoretical contribution and analytical depth.

We welcome submissions from researchers worldwide and invite scholars to contribute original work that advances understanding of social behavior and enriches ongoing academic discussions within and across disciplinary boundaries. Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
