The Academic Journal of Local Development is dedicated to promoting and supporting scholars, students, and the general public by providing opportunities to publish academic works. The scope includes education, management, interdisciplinary humanities and social sciences, and the integration of science for development.
The journal has been published since Year 1, Issue 1, in 2022, and follows a biannual publication schedule: Issue 1 (January-June) and Issue 2 (July-December).
We accept two types of articles: research articles and academic articles. Both Thai and English submissions are welcomed. The quality assessment process is rigorously conducted according to the journal’s criteria and involves a thorough peer review by qualified experts.
The journal does not charge any fees for publication.
Consideration and selection of articles
Each submitted article will be reviewed by a committee of at least two qualified peer reviewers. Reviewers will be selected from different institutions and must not be affiliated with the same organization as the author. Their expertise in relevant fields will be verified, and they will be approved by the editorial board prior to the review process. The journal employs a Double-Blind Peer Review format, where neither the reviewers nor the authors know each other's identities.
The editorial board reserves the right to withhold consideration of an article until it has been revised to meet the journal’s submission requirements.
Submitted articles must be original and should not have been published elsewhere or be under consideration by other journals or publications. If the article includes images or tables from other sources, the author must obtain permission from the copyright holder and provide the editorial board with the letter of permission before the article can be published.
The views and opinions expressed in the articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views or responsibilities of the editorial board.
