The Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research (AJPOR), the journal of the Asian Network for Public Opinion Research (ANPOR) will publish a special issue focused on methodological challenges, limits, and opportunities for improvements for future research on public opinion issues in Asia in August 2020.
We want to publish papers that study contemporary methodological questions when conducting public opinion in Asia. If the current methods are not appropriate, how can current methods be adapted, or should they be replaced by other methods? Under these circumstances what are the challenges when adapting these methods? Or, what can public opinion research learn from adapting methods currently in use in other scholarly fields?
We expect to publish imaginative and interesting papers that include both empirical applications and thought papers. We hope to contribute to the further development of public opinion research in Asia by showcasing methodological advancements that demonstrate their usefulness in public opinion theory, research, and practice.
Papers are welcome from researchers in any country but the papers must focus on public opinion research in Asia (broadly defined). A guide for authors along with other relevant information about the special issue can be found at ajpor.org.
If you have a paper that you would like to be considered for the special issue, please submit a 500 word abstract by email to John Kennedy, editor of the special issue, at kennedyj@indiana.edu by February 28, 2020. The special issue will be published in August 2020. If more papers are accepted than can be included in the special issue, they will be included in later issues of AJPOR.
For abstract submission, further information or queries regarding the special issue, please contact John Kennedy, kennedyj@indiana.edu.
AJPOR is always open to new submissions of research papers, review papers, research notes, and poll reviews related to public opinion in Asia. Submissions for other issues can be made online via the Scholastica. For more information, see ajpor.org. Any questions about AJPOR or submitting to another issue of AJPOR can be sent to AJPORSubmissions@gmail.com.
