We commit to rigorous scholarship and quality, producing work that meets the highest academic standards.
Inclusivity
We value diverse voices, perspectives, and disciplines, fostering a truly representative platform for behavioural sciences.
Impact
We publish research that addresses real-world challenges and contributes to meaningful societal change.
Our Approach
Editorial Rigour
We maintain a robust peer-review process to ensure every submission meets the highest standards of academic integrity and methodological soundness. Our editorial board, comprised of experienced scholars and practitioners, carefully evaluates each paper for originality, clarity, and relevance before publication.
Accessibility
We believe that valuable knowledge should be available to all. AJABS prioritizes open and clear communication of research findings, making them understandable not only to scholars but also to policymakers, educators, and the wider public. Where possible, we promote open-access publishing to widen our reach.
Relevance
Every article we publish must address real-world issues in the behavioural sciences. We focus on research that offers practical implications, informs policy, and contributes to improving the human condition—particularly within African and global contexts.
