Guidelines for detailing human research ethics in research articles

According to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to consider and approve human research ethics for the research projects of the association's researchers and external researchers. From now on, all research manuscripts that will be submitted to be considered for publication in the association's journals, research must be given importance and conducted in strict accordance with ethical standards for human research.

All research articles involving human subjects should receive human research ethics approval from a human research ethics committee of a reputable agency. Those articles must include details of human research ethics certification, including the name of the certifying agency and committee and the certification number. For research articles that have not previously received human research ethics approval, detail the conditions for exemption from approval and the procedures the researcher has used to ensure that the research complies with the ethical standards of human research must be clearly stated. All these details, both in certified and non-certified cases, are set out in the Research Methodology section.

The editors may consider and decide to reject any submissions that do not provide these details, especially those that may not comply with ethical standards for human research.

    Submission to First Decision: Manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team, assessed for quality by peer reviewers, and the editorial team sends the first decision back to the authors so that they can improve the quality according to suggestions (if any), including formatting as required by the journal. This takes approximately 30.10 days.

     

    First Decision to Acceptance: The authors have improved the quality of the manuscript according to the recommendations of reviewers, and formatted it as specified by the journal until it is complete and accurate according to the journal's standards, including being accepted for publication in approximately 21.30 days.

     

    Acceptance to Publication: The production process after the manuscript has been accepted and published takes approximately 19.90 days.

     

    The operational efficiency of AELR's editorial team in 2024 is much better than the previous year. The original time spent throughout the process from article submission to publication was 186.70 days, reduced to only 71.30 days. However, the editorial team is committed to reducing the time period to comply with the editorial team's policy that from article submission to acceptance should not take more than 45 days. The editorial team will try to gradually reduce the time period in the article review process by reviewers to no more than 28 days by 2025 and no more than 14 days by 2027.

  • Changing the article sorting format from “page numbers” to “article number”

    2024-10-12

    In order to accommodate the increasing volume of articles in the journals under the responsibility of the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the association has decided to change the article sorting format of all journals (AISR, ACSR, APSR, AAMR, AELR, & TISR) from “page numbers” to “article number” as used in the case of Procedia of Multidisciplinary Research (PMR), starting from the first issue of 2025 onwards.

     

    The format of writing article citation information according to the format of the American Psychological Association (APA), 7th edition, is as follows:

    Citation Information: Maneenin, P., & Kamphaengdee, S. (2025). Factor Analysis of Community Enterprises Producing Processed Agricultural Products in the Three Southern Border Provinces. Thai Interdisciplinary and Sustainability Review, 14(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.14456/tisr.2025.1

  • What is Open Peer Review?

    2022-09-07

    As all of you probably know that all 6 journals of PSAKU have changed their quality assessment model from “double-blind peer review” (DBR) to “open peer review” (OPR) since the middle of the year. However, this new model is still not widely known, especially in Thailand, which makes many people unfamiliar with doubts. Therefore, the editorial team would like to collect articles and videos that have been prepared and published by major publishers around the world for you to read and understand.
