All manuscripts will be screened for originality and possible plagiarism by means of Similarity Check, a service provided by Crossref that uses Turnitin’s iThenticate database. Starting from Volume 27, Issue 3, year 2026.

Submitted manuscripts are checked using the CopyCat program in the ThaiJO system and the iThenticate program, with a maximum similarity index of 25%.

Main Journal Announcement: Ethical Guidelines for Using AI in Academic Writing

2026-06-08T12:43:35+07:00

Ethical Guidelines for Using AI in Academic Writing
1. Manuscripts prepared with use of generative AI in all steps must be done with caution. The AI generated contents must undergo thorough review and careful editing and are recommended to explicitly disclose in the manuscripts during the peer review process, and will appear in the published version. Full responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the AI generated contents belongs entirely to all authors.
2. Authorship and Accountability: Authors are personally accountable for the accuracy, originality, and validity of all content, including any material generated or assisted by AI tools. AI and AI-assisted technologies do not meet the criteria for authorship.
3. Permitted Use: Authors may use AI to improve language clarity and readability. Using AI for minor language editing, grammar correction, or structuring is permitted, provided the output is overseen and heavily edited by a human.
4. Prohibited Use: Relying on AI to generate core ideas, literature reviews, or to fabricate and interpret research findings is strictly prohibited. Citing AI-generated text as a primary source is also prohibited. AI tools cannot be credited as authors because they lack accountability for the integrity, originality, and validity of research work. AI tools must not be listed as authors.
5. Data Privacy and Security: Authors must ensure that patient data, confidential peer-review information, or unpublished manuscripts are never uploaded to open-source AI tools, as this may violate patient privacy and intellectual property rights.
6. Eproducibility: Authors must provide sufficient documentation, artifacts, or non-AI baselines to enable the independent replication of any AI-assisted research step.
7. Mandatory Disclosure: Authors must disclose all AI usage even for minor language editing or writing polish within the dedicated manuscript section.
8. Consequences: The CSDJ journal reserves the right to issue a correction, erratum, or retraction if undisclosed or non-compliant AI usage or integrity gaps are discovered.

Main Journal Announcement: Change in Article Pagination to the Article ID (e-Location ID) System

2026-06-02T21:32:00+07:00

Change in Article Pagination to the Article ID (e-Location ID) System

Previously, pages were numbered sequentially for the entire issue, such as 1-12, 13-24. This will now be changed to an Article ID (e-Location ID) System. The letter 'e' will stand for electronic, followed by the article number, which is the same as the submission ID in the system. For example, e290272 will represent page numbers starting from Volume 27, Issue 2, year 2026.

The objective of this transition is to increase the efficacy of article indexing, citation management, online accessibility, and long-term visibility while supporting modern digital publishing practices. The adoption of Article IDs will be beneficial to the journal's electronic publication system.
