Author Guidelines
The full-length manuscript can be submitted in either Thai or English. For Thai manuscripts, authors should use Thai terminology as much as possible, following the Royal Institute’s English-Thai Medical Dictionary as a standard reference. If an English term has an official Thai translation but is not widely recognized or difficult to understand, the original term should be provided in parentheses, or the English term may be used as an exception.
The manuscript consists of two main parts: the abstract and the main content, with a total length not exceeding 16 pages. If the manuscript exceeds this limit, the editorial board will review its suitability. Manuscripts should be prepared using Microsoft Word (2003–2016) with TH SarabunPSK font:
Title: Bold, 18-point font
Author names: 14-point font
Affiliations: 12-point font
Body text: 14-point font
The manuscript should be formatted on A4-sized paper (8.5 × 11 inches) with 1-inch margins on the top, right, and bottom, and 1.25 inches on the left. The text should be formatted in a single-column layout with single line spacing. The manuscript should include at least one relevant image to serve as the article cover image.
Abstract Section
The abstract must include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, body text, and keywords.
The title should not exceed two lines and must be in uppercase letters, except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions, which should be in lowercase.
Author names should be in 14-point font, including only first and last names without academic titles or honorifics. The corresponding author should be marked with an asterisk (*). In Thai manuscripts, author names should be separated by double spaces, with "และ" before the last author without a space. In English manuscripts, names should be separated by commas, with "and" before the last author (without a preceding comma).
Institutional affiliations should be in 12-point font on a new line. If multiple institutions are listed, superscript numbers should be used to indicate matching authors and institutions. The email of the corresponding author should be listed on a separate line in 12-point font.
The abstract content should summarize key aspects of the study, including objectives, methodology, results, and discussion.
Keywords should be listed on a new line, with 3 to 5 terms that clearly represent the study's content.
Main Content
The main content consists of the following sections:
Introduction – Describes the background, significance of the research problem, and a concise literature review to highlight the importance of the study.
Research Objectives – Can be presented as research questions or hypotheses.
Research Methodology – Describes the research process, which may vary depending on the study type.
Results and Discussion – Presents findings in alignment with the research objectives, with a discussion that compares results with previous studies or related theories.
Conclusion – Summarizes key findings concisely and may include recommendations for future research.
Acknowledgments – Mentions funding sources, supporting institutions, or individuals.
Ethical Considerations – If applicable, indicate human or animal research ethics approval, including certification numbers. Describe ethical procedures such as obtaining informed consent.
References – Must follow the APA (American Psychological Association) style and be written in English. If citing a non-English article, include the language in parentheses after the title.
Citation Guidelines Authors should prioritize citing journal articles over theses, with the preferred order of citation credibility as follows:
International journal articles (Q1-Q3)
National journal articles in TCI Group 1
International journal articles (Q4)
National journal articles in TCI Group 2
Full papers from national/international conference proceedings
Doctoral and master’s theses
Independent studies or special projects
