Change in the Reference Style of Ph.D. in Social Sciences Journal The Editorial Board of Ph.D. in Social Sciences Journal is pleased to announce a change in the journal's reference policy. All citations, both in the text and in the final reference list, when the original source document is already in Thai or English, authors must use the language of the original document (i.e., if the original document is in English, the reference entry should be in English; if it is in Thai, the entry should be in Thai). This change in the reference style will take effect starting with Volume 16, Issue 1 (January - April 2026). To ensure a smooth transition, all authors intending to submit manuscripts for publication consideration are requested to prepare their manuscripts according to the new Thai language reference format, effective from November 1, 2025 onwards.
