Online Journal:
Asia-Pacific Youth Forum on
Humanities and Social Sciences
Forum highlights in 2020
With a view to encouraging students to dig into research on social issues, the Taiwanese Association for Simulation Education (SimEd Taiwan) envisions to open up more opportunities for youngsters not only from Taiwan but also from overseas. An online journal of the Asia Pacific Youth Forum on Humanities and Social Sciences is now a pick for high school students with passion for humanitarian and social issues!
In 2020, a great number of articles passed the two-round review process and are accepted in the journal. The two-round review process includes first-round academic reviews and feedback and second-round editor reviews and feedback.
As COVID-19 is still a pandemic with unforeseeable solutions in the world, most essays focus on relations between the pandemic and society, e.g. health inequality, learning gaps, technology in disease prevention, and life in the post-pandemic era. Some other articles focus on sustainable development around the authors’ communities, including externalities of industrial activity and development justice in rural areas.
Most authors are from Taiwan. The Forum also received articles from China, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Authors of accepted articles all shed light on issues in their communities or societies. Discussions on COVID-19 is thus a good example for better understanding of how global public health challenges have been experienced and dealt with in different societal contexts.
Although the Forum is just at its initial stage, the power of youth to change the world is always an aspiration of the Forum organizer. With the aspiration in mind, we look forward to future sparks of knowledge ignited in the Forum for a better world!
