Announcements

Thoughts is pleased to announce the implementation of a new rolling submission system for original manuscripts, starting January 2024. This streamlined approach eliminates previously established June and December submission deadlines, allowing authors to submit their work at any convenient time. Manuscripts will be reviewed and processed upon receipt, with publication following promptly upon completion. 

For optimal planning, please note that the publication process at Thoughts Journal typically takes at least 4-6 months. Consider your desired publication timeframe when submitting your manuscript.

This will require each author to create a user account in the system (unless she or he already has an existing account). For more information on how to do so, please consult the provided manuals in Thai or English.

 

 

  • Guidelines on the Use of Generative AI in Academic Writing

    2025-03-07

    To maintain the integrity and academic rigor of Thoughts, we have established clear guidelines regarding the use of AI. Starting from now, authors must transparently disclose any AI assistance in the research or writing process.

    Guidelines on the Use of Generative AI in Academic Writing

     1. General Principles

    Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, can assist with language editing but should not replace an author’s intellectual contribution. Authors must ensure their work maintains academic integrity, transparency, and adherence to ethical standards.

    2. Permissible Uses
    • Language Enhancement: AI tools may assist in grammar correction and readability improvements. Disclosure is not required for minor language adjustments.
    • Data Processing: AI may support data analysis but should not generate research findings or conclusions.
    3. Prohibited Uses
    • AI-generated content must not replace original analysis, argumentation, or scholarly insight.
    • AI should not be credited as an author, as it cannot take responsibility for academic work.
    • AI-generated text, images, or data that cannot be independently verified must not be included in submissions.
    4. Disclosure Requirement

    If AI-assisted technologies were used beyond language editing (e.g., data interpretation, idea generation), authors must disclose their usage in the methodology or acknowledgments section.

    5. Ethical and Intellectual Property Concerns
    • Authors are responsible for verifying AI-generated content to prevent inaccuracies, biases, or ethical breaches.
    • AI should not be used to input or process confidential data.

    Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in manuscript rejection or retraction.
