Wiley Author Resources
Wiley have a range of resources for authors preparing manuscripts for submission available here. In particular, authors may benefit from referring to:
• Article Preparation Support: Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence. Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.
• Writing for Search Engine Optimization: Optimize the search engine results for your paper, so people can find, read and ultimately cite your work. Simply read Wiley’s best practice SEO tips – including information on making your title and abstract SEO-friendly, and choosing appropriate keywords.
Manuscript Style
• Spelling. Spelling should follow one of Australian conventions and must be consistent throughout the manuscript.
• Abbreviations. In general, terms should not be abbreviated unless they are used repeatedly and the abbreviation is helpful to the reader. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only.
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files: title page; main text file; figures. As papers are double-blind peer reviewed the main text file should not include any information that might identify the authors.
Title Page
The title page should contain: (i) a short informative title that contains the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips); (ii) a short running title of less than 40 characters (abbreviations may be used); (iii) the full names of the authors; (iv) the author's institutional affiliations at which the work was carried out; (v) the full postal and email address, plus telephone number, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent; (vi) a brief Author’s Biographical Note of less than 100 words for each author; (vii) acknowledgements.
The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors’ industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged. Personal thanks and thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Main Text File
Manuscripts submitted as Original Articles, Policy Forum Articles and Review Articles should be presented in the following order:
(i) title, abstract and key words; (ii) text; (iii) references; (iv) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes); (v) figure legends; and (vi) appendices.
Figures and supporting information should be submitted as separate files.
Data Sharing and Data Accessibility
Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies has a data sharing policy. The policy is known as ‘Expects Data,’ and requires authors to include a data availability statement to indicate whether (or not) data has been shared along with a citation in their article (in the main document).
The Data Availability Statement is a short paragraph about where the data is being shared or not.
Sample statements are available here.
Authors need to provide the following upon submission:
1. A Data Availability Statement in the main document under the heading ‘Data Availability Statement’
2. If applicable, the manuscript has a citation for available data in the references section. The citation must be the last citation and it must begin with (dataset)
3. The links provided to the available data, connect to the relevant actual data as described in their Data Availability Statement
If published, all statements will be placed in the heading of your manuscript. For more information see the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations Section.
Abstract and Key Words
Original articles must have an unstructured abstract of 150 words or fewer that states the purpose, basic procedures, main findings and principal conclusions of the study. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Five key words, for the purposes of indexing, should be supplied below the abstract.
Text
Please be sure to adhere to the word limit guidelines.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be placed at the foot of each page. They should be numbered and referred to in the text with consecutive, superscript Arabic numerals. Keep footnotes brief: they should contain only short comments tangential to the main argument of the paper and should not normally include references.
References
Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies uses the parenthetical (author date) system of referencing – examples are given below. In the text, give the author’s name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors, use ‘and’: Smith and Jones (2001); but if cited within parentheses use ‘&’: (Smith & Jones 2001). When reference is made to a work by three or more authors, the first name followed by et al. should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002). In the reference list, references should be listed in alphabetical order. Page numbers must be included after the year for quoted material; for example, (Smith & Jones 2001, p. 77). Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references.
In the reference list, cite the names of all authors when there are six or fewer; when seven or more, list the first three followed by et al. Do not use ibid. or op cit. Reference to unpublished data and personal communications should not appear in the list but should be cited in the text only (e.g. Smith A 2000, unpublished data). All citations mentioned in the text, tables or figures must be listed in the reference list.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Figure Legends
Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text.
Appendices
These should be placed at the end of the paper, numbered in Roman numerals and referred to in the text. If written by a person other than the author of the main text, the writer’s name should be included below the title.
Preparing Figures
Although we encourage authors to send us the highest-quality figures possible, for peer-review purposes we are happy to accept a wide variety of formats, sizes, and resolutions.
Click here for the basic figure requirements for figures submitted with manuscripts for initial peer review, as well as the more detailed post-acceptance figure requirements.
Supporting Information
Supporting information is information that is not essential to the article but that provides greater depth and background. It is hosted online, and appears without editing or typesetting. It may include tables, figures, videos, datasets, etc. Click here for Wiley’s FAQs on supporting information.
Note, if data, scripts or other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper are available via a publicly available data repository, authors should include a reference to the location of the material within their paper.
5. ACCEPTED FILE TYPES
The journal accepts submissions in both Word and LaTeX.
LaTeX Article Submission
Please use “article” class for LaTeX submissions and include any associated packages/files with the submitted LaTeX source files. Please also include a PDF of the manuscript. Do not add coding to “force” line breaks or the positioning of “floats”, as this will need to be removed in the conversion of the file to XML. As articles undergo considerable conversion and transformation during production, we achieve the most efficient processing if articles are presented in as generic a form as possible.
LaTeX Bibliography
If you wish to use a citation package such as BibTeX and natbib.sty then please do so. Be sure to use the appropriate citation style for the journal, to help the reviewers to assess your article. There is no bespoke “.bst” file for APPS. Please provide all the necessary bibliographic information in a standard format. This will allow for clearer conversion and formatting by the typesetters.
6. EDITORIAL POLICIES AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Data Sharing and Data Accessibility
The journal encourages authors to share the data and other artefacts supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors should include a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this statement can be published alongside their paper.
Editorial Review and Acceptance
Papers are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. All manuscripts are peer reviewed and considered for publication by both an Editor and the Editor-in-Chief. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editor-in-Chief, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Manuscripts should be in a clear, concise, direct style. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of content, the Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader.
Wiley's policy on confidentiality of the review process is available here.
Publication Ethics
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Note this journal uses iThenticate’s CrossCheck software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Read our Top 10 Publishing Ethics Tips for Authors here. Wiley’s Publication Ethics Guidelines can be found at http://exchanges.wiley.com/ethicsguidelines
