The main objective of Australasian Conference on Business and Social Sciences (ACBSS) 2015 is to promote and publish relevant and current ideas that are important for global academics in particular and the businesses, societies and economies at large.

ACBSS 2015 gives the participants an opportunity to publish their full-fledged conference papers in the Journal of Developing Areas (The JDA), which has been a highly recognised multidisciplinary international journal since 1966.

Through a two-stage review process, all full-fledged papers submitted to ACBSS 2015 will be considered for publication in the JDA Regular Issue and/or Special Issue. That means some of the accepted papers will be published in the Regular Issue while others in the Special Issue depending on the availability of space in the issue in which they will be considered. The JDA Editorial office will make final decision as to which ones will be carried in the Regular Issue and which ones in the Special Issue. While the JDA publishes only the quantitative papers as full-fledged research article, a limited number of full-fledged qualitative papers will be considered for publication in the JDA’s Regular Issue and/or Special Issue as Notes (approximately 3,500 words). Usually, a Regular Issue of JDA includes of about 23 pieces including 2/3 Notes. Full-fledged submissions, which do not meet the JDA’s acceptance criteria, will be considered for publication in one of the following peer-reviewed international journals:
Regardless of this, all the submissions that have been accepted for presentation will be published as conference proceedings with an ISBN.
