Author Guidelines

Human Research Ethics

IJSASR takes research ethics extremely seriously and prioritizes safeguarding the safety and well-being of study participants who are human volunteers, as well as their human rights and dignity. Any study publications that involve experiments with human subjects must explicitly state that researchers must receive both a research ethics certificate and permission from the Human Research Ethics Committee. The approval for publication of an article is subject to the consideration of the journal editorial board, which is final.

 

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

 

Article Retraction Policy
An article that has previously been published gets retracted when it is taken out of a journal. The editor and/or editorial board of the journal may decide on this. Small editorial mistakes don't lead to retractions. In this instance, an article would be updated. Retractions reveal more significant problems with a piece of writing. Retractions may occur because of
- Errors in the research
- Issues with the reproducibility of the research
- Plagiarism
- Falsification of data or results
- Fabrication of data or results
- Copyright infringement
- Failure to disclose a conflict of interest
- No institutional review board approval for research on human subjects or animals

An academic article addresses the statement of problems, purposes, and recommendations. It provides an analysis based on the ground of a theoretical framework, research work, and conclusions from sources, such as books, academic journals, the internet, etc. An academic article also suggests guidelines for problem-solving.
2. Research Articles:
A research article is a systematic report of the results of a research study. It addresses the statement and significance of the problems, the purpose of the research, and the research methodology.
The research article contains the title page, abstract, and contents of the article. The title page should include the following data consecutively: title, author, department, faculty, and university. In case the author is a student, the following details should include the degree program, major, university, advisory committee, and the educational qualifications of the advisory committee.

For the contents of the article, start with the introduction chapter, which includes the statement and significance of the problems, the purpose and the hypothesis of the research, followed by the research methodology, including population and sample, tools, data collection, and data analysis.

The results of experiments should be explained in the research results section. A comparative analysis of the results of an experiment and other researchers’ work should be written in the discussion section. The conclusion of the research study, according to the purpose (s), should be written in the conclusion section.
3. Review Articles:
A review article is an academic work that critically evaluates the most current state of a specialized academic field and is characterized by an in-depth study with modern and thorough analysis and synthesis of knowledge management.

 Article Processing Charges (APCs)

There are Article Processing Charges for publishing articles in the IJSASR.

Publishing Fee (Article Processing Charges: APCs)

IJSASR is a self-funded journal and does not receive any public funding. Therefore, the Article Processing Fees (APCs) from authors are the only source of funding for the journal. Since IJSASR is an open-access journal, the journal must charge Article Processing Fees (APCs), which are used to manage and maintain the journal, allowing all readers to access the articles online for free without any subscription fees.

However, IJSASR also charges fees for peer reviewers, ThaiJo database fees, and CrossRef membership fees on an annual basis and for each article. In addition, the journal waives publication fees for editors and authors from low-income countries and provides discounts for authors from middle- and lower-income countries. The journal also uses part of its income to promote and support scholarships for underprivileged people who lack financial resources, as well as support other academic promotion activities. Therefore, the Article Processing Fees (APCs) listed are primarily to raise funds for the efficient management of the journal and the distribution of articles to databases worldwide, which are not primarily for financial gain.

The article's author must pay a paper publication fee at the rate of 8,500 baht per article (Eight thousand five hundred baht only), or if transferring from overseas, pay 275 USD (Two hundred and seventy-five dollars only), including the international transfer fees. The Fee Payment is required after notification of the reviewing results has been completed and accepted for publication. This price will be charged for articles submitted after February 5, 2025. The payment can be made at;
