Recently, the Journal of Asian Public Policy (JAPP), co-founded and co-edited by Professor Mok Ka-ho, Provost and Vice-President (Academic and Research) and Dean of the Graduate School at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK), has achieved a major international milestone.

According to the latest CiteScore metrics released by Scopus, JAPP has been ranked Q1 in both the "Public Administration" and "Sociology and Political Science" categories, placing it among the world's leading journals in these fields.

Established in 2008 at the University of Bristol and published by Routledge, JAPP has grown into a flagship journal in Asian public policy studies. As a long-standing Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) Q1 journal, it is widely recognized for its high-quality interdisciplinary and comparative research on Asian policy issues, spanning public management, policy science, social development, and governance.

This latest Q1 achievement in two major categories underscores HSUHK's growing strength in public policy and management research. It also highlights the University's commitment to producing influential scholarship with both regional significance and global relevance. HSUHK will continue to invest in high-impact research and strengthen its role as a leading voice in Asian public policy studies.
