We regret to inform our readers, authors, reviewers, and editorial board members that the former website of the Journal of Architectural and Planning Research (JAPR), https://lockescience.com/, and its associated journal data have been compromised. As a result, access to the journal’s previous web content and records hosted on the old domain may be unreliable or unavailable. Our technical team is actively working to secure the platform and recover the affected data to the fullest extent possible. In the meantime, to ensure uninterrupted communication and access to verified information, we request all stakeholders to consult the publisher’s official website, https://lockescience.press/, for ongoing updates, official announcements, and current journal information. Authors who had previously submitted manuscripts through the old website are kindly requested to resubmit their manuscripts to the JAPR Editorial Office via email at japr@lockescience.press so that the editorial process can continue without delay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to restore services and protect the integrity of the journal’s operations.
