Special Issues (SIs) serve as a powerful mechanism to enhance a journal's repertoire of high-quality content while extending its reach to broader audiences. AFP specializes in conference and special issue publishing across various disciplines from Humanities and Arts to Social Sciences and Natural Sciences, offering ethical, multilingual solutions for global dissemination, in line with COPE and IEEE standards to ensure excellence and integrity.
AFP offers a leading-edge publishing service that caters to the broad expanse of academic disciplines, including but not limited to, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities and Arts. This inclusion underscores our commitment to supporting a wide array of scholarly events such as conferences, symposiums, and workshops through rapid, personalized, and ethically guided publishing avenues.
Our service ensures that each set of proceedings is published within a series specifically tailored to the subject area, enhancing the visibility and academic engagement of your work. To facilitate global reach and impact, APF has extended its publishing capabilities to include multiple languages beyond English, now offering options in German, French, Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. This multilingual publishing initiative aims to break down the barriers to accessing scholarly work, enabling a wider audience to engage with and benefit from the research.
Distribution of proceedings through AFP guarantees extensive exposure, leveraging a network of third-party databases such as Google Scholar, CNKI, and RISS to ensure your work is accessible to the global research community. For detailed information regarding the indexing of each series, authors and organizers are directed to consult the “Abstract & Indexing” section associated with their respective series.
Adhering to the highest ethical standards in publishing, AFP aligns with the guidelines and ethical frameworks provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), including the COPE Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. Our dedication to maintaining integrity in scholarly publishing is further supported by our compliance with IEEE standards for conference ethics and quality control, ensuring that the proceedings we publish meet the highest benchmarks of scholarly excellence.
