Type of Articles
1. A Research Article is an article or writing that compiles or summarizes information from research reports into knowledge in a format that is presented to readers to understand various issues or as a summary of research reports.
2. An Academic Article is a substantial writing in which the author raises a certain issue with the aim of analyzing or criticizing the original viewpoint or idea and/or presenting a new idea to aim for the reader to change their ideas and beliefs to the author's idea. Academic articles therefore, focus on providing knowledge as the main principle and must rely on academic data, references and provable reasons to create credibility.
3. A Review Article is an article that combines ideas and research results from many research studies. The author will synthesize these ideas as well as synthesize research results from various research studies to compile into an argument on a certain issue. The purpose of writing a review article is to summarize, analyze and synthesize knowledge, both broadly and in depth, in a modern way from other research works and/or other academic works up to the present. In order to review the academic progress of that subject By providing criticisms that point out trends that should be studied and developed further.

 

Guidelines on AI-Generated Content

IJSASR acknowledges the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate information that can be helpful for articles submitted to the journal for prospective publication.   However, the journal also recognizes the need to ensure that AI-generated content is managed sensibly and morally.
This policy describes the journal's guidelines for using AI-generated content in published articles.
1. Definition of AI-generated content
For this policy, any content created or substantially modified by an AI system is referred to as AI-generated content. This includes both content created wholly by an AI system and content authored by a human author that has undergone substantial AI system alteration.
2. Principles
IJSASR will only publish AI-generated content that complies with the following rules:
* The AI system that produced the content cannot be recognized as one of the authors when it is submitted for potential publication.
* The AI system used to generate the content must be properly described in the article.
* The human author's contribution to the content must be acknowledged.
* The AI-generated content must be original and not plagiarized.
* The AI-generated content must be accurate and reliable.
* The AI-generated content must not mislead or deceive readers.
3. Procedure
Authors who wish to submit articles with AI-generated content must provide IJSASR with the following information:
* A detailed description of the AI system used to generate the content.
* A copy of the original input data used to generate the content.
* A copy of the AI-generated content.
* A statement acknowledging the human author's contribution to the content.
IJSASR will evaluate the AI-generated content and decide if it is suitable for publication.

IJSASR reserves the right to reject or retract any article that does not comply with this policy.

 

Article Retraction Policy

- Fabrication of data or results
- Copyright infringement
- Failure to disclose a conflict of interest

Plagiarism Policy
The Thai-Journal Citation Index Center database, which includes the International Journal of Sociologies and Anthropologies Science Reviews (IJSASR), has a plagiarism detecting tool called CopyCatch. Before being submitted for publication, every manuscript undergoes a 24-hour plagiarism check. We will notify the author(s) and ask them to either rewrite the article or cite the sources from which the content was taken if plagiarism is discovered by the editor-in-chief, editor, reviewer, etc. at any point during the article's creation, either before or after peer review and acceptance. The author is notified and the work may be rejected or modified if more than 25% of the content is plagiarized.
Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and a serious violation of academic standards. Examples of plagiarism include:
1. Word-for-word copying of portions of another's writing without enclosing the copied passage in quotation marks and acknowledging the source in the appropriate scholarly convention.
2. The use of a particularly unique term or concept without acknowledging the original author or source.
3. The paraphrasing or abbreviated restatement of someone else's ideas without acknowledging that another person's text has been the basis for the paraphrasing.
4. False citation: material should not be attributed to a source from which it has not been obtained.
5. False data: data that has been fabricated or altered in a laboratory or experiment; although not factually plagiarism, this is clearly a form of academic fraud.
6. Unacknowledged multiple authors or collaboration: The contributions of each author or collaborator should be made clear.
7. Self-plagiarism/double submission: the submission of the same or a very similar paper to two or more publications.
