AccScience Publishing (ASP), founded in Singapore in 2016, is driven by a mission of great significance, that is, to institute a rigorous scientific publishing process, facilitate unrestricted access to scientific knowledge, publish influential academic journals and books, disseminate valuable academic content, and propel scientific innovation. ASP adheres unwaveringly to the COPE publishing guidelines while embracing principles of innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, all in pursuit of maintaining scientific integrity and timeliness.
ASP serves a diverse global community of scholars, committed to freely sharing cutting-edge research under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license. To enhance the precision, academic rigor, and timeliness of our publications, we have developed the proprietary, cutting-edge manuscript processing system known as the OSS (Online Submission System).
Our global presence includes the office in Beijing responsible for journal operations and digital infrastructure development; the office in Singapore overseeing public relations and data collection; the office in Kuala Lumpur dedicated to article editing and language refinement. This network of offices enables us to deliver a seamless publishing experience and uphold our commitment to providing high-quality, ethical, and timely academic content.
Our editorial team, operating within the OSS system, upholds the highest ethical standards and follows the editorial guidelines established by esteemed organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). Our manuscript processing workflow encompasses ethical compliance reviews, academic integrity assessments, licensing, peer review, editorial decision-making, English-language editing, content refinement, format conversion, meticulous proofreading, and the production of various text formats, including PDF and XML.
At ASP, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of transparency, quality, and accessibility in the field of scientific publishing. Our commitment to ethical and editorial excellence, coupled with our innovative approaches, underscores our contribution to the global scientific community and aligns us with the standards set by the most renowned publishing institutions.
