Publication Frequency

The Academic Network for Development Dialogue (ANDD) Paper Series is an annual, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal published by Qatar University Press (QU Press) under a sustained and clearly defined serial publishing model.

The journal publishes one volume annually in April, with each volume organized around a specific thematic focus aligned with regional development priorities and Sustainable Development aims. This annual frequency ensures serial continuity, thematic coherence, and consistency in publication timelines.

An annual Call for Papers is issued typically in February or March, initiating a structured editorial process that includes proposal submission, editorial screening, full paper submission, participation in a Paper Development Workshop (in‑person or online), double‑blind peer review, author revisions, and final publication. All accepted papers are published within the same annual volume, ensuring a transparent, predictable, and stable publication schedule.

The publication process is designed to maintain consistency, reliability, and adherence to rigorous editorial, peer‑review, and publication ethics standards. Through its annual publication model, the ANDD Paper Series provides a sustainable platform for disseminating high-quality research and fostering scholarly dialogue on critical development issues in the region and beyond.
