Duties of authors:

1. Authors submitting manuscripts must certify that the work is original, has not been previously presented in proceeding format, and has not been published elsewhere.

2. Manuscripts submitted for publication must present truthful research data without distortion or fabrication.

3. When incorporating the work of others into their manuscript, authors must cite and include the work in the reference list.

4. Manuscripts submitted for publication must adhere to the formatting guidelines provided in the journal's submission instructions; otherwise, they will not be considered by the editorial board.

5. Authors listed on the manuscript must have contributed to the actual research process, with the editorial board assessing the likelihood based on the manuscript.

6. Funding sources for the research must be disclosed in the acknowledgment section.

7. Authors must specify any overlapping benefits.

8. Authors must consider research ethics, ensuring they do not infringe upon or plagiarize the work of others as defined by the journal's plagiarism policy using the CopyCatch program on the Thaijo website, with the journal setting the limit at no more than 20% similarity.

 

Duties of editors:

1. Editors are responsible for evaluating the format, completeness, and quality of manuscripts before initiating the peer-review process by qualified individuals for publication in the responsible journal.

2. Editors will not disclose any information during the manuscript evaluation and journal publication process to unrelated individuals, whether it be information about the authors or the manuscript reviewers.

3. Editors are preliminary evaluators in the decision-making process of selecting manuscripts for publication and consider publishing manuscripts that have passed the peer-review process based on assessments from qualified individuals. Importance, novelty, clarity, and alignment of content with journal policies are critical considerations.

4. Editors will not publish manuscripts previously published elsewhere, whether in journal format or as full papers presented at academic conferences (Proceedings).

5. Editors will not reject manuscripts that do not comply with guidelines until there is clear evidence or confirmation of those concerns.

6. Editors will not have any conflicting interests with authors, reviewers, or the management team.

7. Editors will examine plagiarism in manuscripts using reliable software and, if there is clear evidence or confirmation of plagiarism, will contact the corresponding author for clarification. If no satisfactory explanation is provided, the editor will reject the manuscript for publication based on academic principles.

 

Duties of reviewers:

1. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality regarding the manuscript and authors' information, refraining from disclosing it to unrelated individuals throughout the assessment process.

2. Reviewers should not have any conflicting interests with the authors, such as being co-authors or having affiliations that could impair their ability to assess and provide independent feedback.

3. Reviewers should evaluate manuscripts within their area of expertise, considering the content and assessing them based on significance, novelty, clarity, and alignment, without relying on unsupported personal opinions as criteria for judgment.

4. Reviewers may suggest relevant research works that complement the manuscript if the authors have not referenced them during the review process.

5. If reviewers identify substantial similarities or duplication of work from other sources with clear evidence, they may reject the publication and notify the editor accordingly.
