Article Types

• Research Article: An article presenting new or applied research findings in either theoretical or practical domains. It must contribute to a deeper knowledge and understanding within its respective scientific field. The findings presented must be reproducible through replication or experimentation.
• Review Article: An article that synthesizes knowledge on a specific topic published across various international journals. It involves analyzing, evaluating, comparing, summarizing key issues, and providing recommendations to clarify the subject matter and offer guidelines for future research.
• Academic Article: An article written for a general (non-scientific) audience, using easily understandable language. The content is compiled from observations, surveys, and questionnaires with or without in-depth interviews. This information is integrated to present experiences, insights, and recommendations linked to the focus of the study.

Authors' Responsibilities

• Acknowledge Genuine Authorship: The list of authors must accurately reflect actual participation, and all listed authors must have made a significant intellectual contribution to the manuscript.
• Guarantee of Originality and Non-Duplication: Authors must certify that the manuscript is their own original work and has not been previously published, nor is it currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• Data Integrity (No Fabrication): Authors must certify that all study results, records, and reports are free from fabrication.
• No Data Manipulation: Authors must certify that the research content, instruments, and processes have not been manipulated to alter or omit findings, and that all results are reported accurately and completely in accordance with the Case Report Forms (CRFs).
• Acceptable Use of Extracted Works (Plagiarism Avoidance): Incorporating parts of original academic works with clear and proper citation is acceptable only under the following conditions:
       1. The citation/reproduction is limited to specific words or phrases, not entire paragraphs or multiple paragraphs.
       2. The shared information consists of widely accepted concepts or phrases, rather than ideas or expressions unique to a limited number of authors.
       3. The shared information relates to standard methodologies or procedures, not description of findings discovered by others.
       4. Sources must be fully and clearly cited, rather than partially, inaccurately, or not cited at all.
       5. Any minor overlap must be entirely unintentional, rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead.

• Appropriate and Respectful Language: The manuscript must contain no offensive, defamatory, or politically sensitive content.
• Anonymity of Organizations and Individuals: Authors must omit or avoid using abbreviations and statements that could prematurely reveal the identity of the involved organizations, agencies, or individuals.

The title should be concise, accurately reflect the main focus of the study, and not exceed two lines. Abbreviations should be avoided whenever possible.
• Author and Co-Authors' Names: The names of the authors and co-authors should be provided without gender or academic position titles. The affiliation, institutional address, and email address of the corresponding author should be provided in both Thai and English. If there are more than five authors, they should be listed in order of their relative contribution or importance to the study.
• Abstract: The abstract should provide a concise and comprehensive summary of the entire research study, covering the essential aspects of the research. It should not exceed 350 words and should be written as a continuous paragraph without subheadings.
• Keywords: Provide below the abstract and should not exceed 5 words.
• Introduction: The introduction should provide a clear review of the background and significance of the research topic, linking the rationale for the study to relevant findings from previous research. The research hypothesis and/or research questions should be clearly stated. References should primarily be based on first-hand or primary sources to establish a sound scientific foundation that is directly relevant to and consistent with the study objectives and title.
• Materials and Methods: Provide detailed information regarding the study design, research procedures, population/participants, measurements and evaluations, as well as the statistical analysis used. For research involving humans or animals, details of the ethical approval must be stated, and clear evidence of approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) must be presented within the manuscript.
• Results: The Results section should present the key findings of the study using appropriate text, tables, charts, or figures, together with relevant statistical analyses and levels of statistical significance, where applicable, to address the research hypotheses or questions. When the findings are clearly and sufficiently described in the text, redundant presentation of the same information in graphs or diagrams should be avoided, unless a particular finding requires specific visual emphasis.
• Discussion: This section must be clearly separated from the Results section. It should analyze the significance of the findings, compare the importance of the results with previous studies, path out the limitations of the current study, and suggest directions for future research. The overall conclusion of the study must be written in the final paragraph.
• Conclusion: The Conclusion should provide a concise, clear, and focused summary of the major findings of the study and should directly reflect the research objectives and key outcomes.
