Guidelines for detailing human research ethics in research articles

According to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to consider and approve human research ethics for the research projects of the association's researchers and external researchers. From now on, all research manuscripts that will be submitted to be considered for publication in the association's journals, research must be given importance and conducted in strict accordance with ethical standards for human research.

All research articles involving human subjects should receive human research ethics approval from a human research ethics committee of a reputable agency. Those articles must include details of human research ethics certification, including the name of the certifying agency and committee and the certification number. For research articles that have not previously received human research ethics approval, detail the conditions for exemption from approval and the procedures the researcher has used to ensure that the research complies with the ethical standards of human research must be clearly stated. All these details, both in certified and non-certified cases, are set out in the Research Methodology section.

The editors may consider and decide to reject any submissions that do not provide these details, especially those that may not comply with ethical standards for human research.

  Submission to First Decision: Manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team, assessed for quality by peer reviewers, and the editorial team sends the first decision back to the authors so that they can improve the quality according to suggestions (if any), including formatting as required by the journal. This takes approximately 41.61 days.

   

  First Decision to Acceptance: The authors have improved the quality of the manuscript according to the recommendations of reviewers, and formatted it as specified by the journal until it is complete and accurate according to the journal's standards, including being accepted for publication in approximately 42.70 days.

   

  Acceptance to Publication: The production process after the manuscript has been accepted and published takes approximately 9.13 days.

   

  The operational efficiency of AISR's editorial team in 2024 is much better than the previous year. The original time spent throughout the process from article submission to publication was 162.10 days, reduced to only 93.43 days. However, the editorial team is committed to reducing the time period to comply with the editorial team's policy that from article submission to acceptance should not take more than 45 days. The editorial team will try to gradually reduce the time period in the article review process by reviewers to no more than 28 days by 2025 and no more than 14 days by 2027.

  2022-09-07

  As all of you probably know that all 6 journals of PSAKU have changed their quality assessment model from “double-blind peer review” (DBR) to “open peer review” (OPR) since the middle of the year. However, this new model is still not widely known, especially in Thailand, which makes many people unfamiliar with doubts. Therefore, the editorial team would like to collect articles and videos that have been prepared and published by major publishers around the world for you to read and understand.

• PSAKUIJIR will change its peer review model to open peer review in the second half of 2022:

  2022-04-05

  Perspectives on the peer review process have shifted from anonymity between authors and reviewers as a means of preventing bias to transparency to allow members of the academic community to jointly review the process. As a result, we found that many of the world's largest and most well-known publishers such as Springer Nature, Frontiers, MDPI, and BMJ have all switched their traditional review models to open peer review.

  Therefore, in order to make the article quality assessment process of PSAKUIJIR more efficient, we have decided to change the peer review model of articles submitted for publication in our journal to open peer review from Vol. 11 No. 2 (July-December 2022) onwards. This means that the names of the handling editor, reviewers, and authors will be disclosed to each other throughout the review process. Also, the name of the handling editor and reviewers will also be mentioned in the article once it has been published.
