Announcements

We feel delighted that we could gather together this Sunday afternoon to share our passion, insights, and feedback among enthusiasts for social science research. 

Our team will pack photos and feedback of today and send these great resources and memories to everyone in a follow-up email.

Additionally, despite the great milestone of the seminar you’ve reach, we would like to remind you to submit your full text by Tuesday, November 30.

After our final review, your research will be published in this year’s journal as part of the final version provided your submission meets the requirements of formatting, quality, and ethics. 

Any attire guide?

There is no strict guide for attire. You may have all your say in deciding on what to wear depending on your taste, the weather that day, or your need for photography.

How should I prepare for the seminar?

We’ll draw lots to deicide the sequence of presentations right as the seminar begins.

In your 7-minute presentation, we look forward to your insights on research motivation, question(s), literature review, methodology, possible research contributions and limitations.

Are waitlisted authors invited?

Yes, vacancies are awaiting your participation! Please follow the instruction in previous email(s) or on our website for registration and details.

If I’m more comfortable speaking English, is it okay?

Yes, since our Journal has 2 working languages of Mandarin and English, we’re happy to include languages in both paperwork and in-person communication.

It’s also great if your presentation is verbally in English, and we do believe listeners will provide feedback in either language you may be comfortable with.

If you need any assistance in English, please feel free to let us know.

Through independent academic review, with the four criteria of significance, creativity, feasibility, and carefulness taken into consideration. For more information on the proposals, please visit the Announcements page of the AYSS website.
