The journal applies a <strong>double-blind peer review</strong> model to uphold impartiality and fairness, whereby the identities of both authors and reviewers are strictly concealed throughout the review process.</p> <ol> <li><strong> Editorial Screening (Initial Assessment)</strong></li> </ol> <p>Upon submission, each manuscript is first evaluated by the Editorial Board through an initial screening process. This stage aims to determine whether the manuscript is suitable to proceed to external peer review. The Editorial Board assesses the following:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Relevance to the journal’s aims and scope</strong></li> <li><strong>Compliance with author guidelines</strong> (format, structure, referencing style, completeness of required sections)</li> <li><strong>Academic merit and clarity</strong> (research focus, contribution, logical coherence, language quality sufficient for review)</li> <li><strong>Ethical compliance</strong> (research ethics, consent where applicable, proper citation, avoidance of harmful or discriminatory content)</li> <li><strong>Originality assurance</strong> including preliminary checks for duplication or overlap</li> </ul> <p>Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s basic requirements may be returned to authors for technical correction or rejected at this stage to ensure efficient and responsible use of reviewer resources.</p> <ol start="2"> <li><strong> Plagiarism and Similarity Screening</strong></li> </ol> <p>To safeguard academic integrity, the journal may screen submissions using plagiarism and similarity detection tools. Where concerns arise, the Editorial Board may:</p> <ul> <li>request clarification or revision from the author(s),</li> <li>reject the manuscript due to unethical overlap, or</li> <li>proceed with caution when overlap is legitimate and appropriately cited (e.g., methods descriptions), depending on editorial judgment.</li> </ul> <ol start="3"> <li><strong> Double-Blind Peer Review Process</strong></li> </ol> <p>Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent for external evaluation by <strong>at least two independent reviewers</strong> who possess relevant expertise in the manuscript’s subject area and methodology. The journal follows a double-blind process:</p> <ul> <li>Reviewers do not know the identity of the author(s).</li> <li>Author(s) do not know the identity of the reviewers.</li> </ul> <p>This ensures evaluations are based solely on academic merit, without bias related to affiliation, nationality, seniority, gender, or personal relationships.</p> <p><strong>Reviewer Selection and Independence</strong></p> <p>Reviewers are selected based on:</p> <ul> <li>disciplinary expertise and research experience,</li> <li>suitability to evaluate the manuscript’s methodology and scope, and</li> <li>absence of conflicts of interest.</li> </ul> <p>Reviewers must declare potential conflicts of interest (e.g., collaboration, institutional ties, personal relationships, financial interests). If a conflict exists, the reviewer must decline the assignment.</p> <ol start="4"> <li><strong> Review Criteria</strong></li> </ol> <p>Reviewers are requested to provide constructive, evidence-based feedback and recommendations. Core evaluation criteria typically include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Originality and contribution to knowledge</strong></li> <li><strong>Relevance to the journal’s scope and audience</strong></li> <li><strong>Theoretical grounding and conceptual clarity</strong></li> <li><strong>Methodological rigor and appropriateness</strong> (design, sampling, instruments, validity/reliability or trustworthiness, analysis procedures)</li> <li><strong>Quality of data analysis and interpretation</strong></li> <li><strong>Strength of discussion and implications</strong> (academic, policy, practical relevance)</li> <li><strong>Quality of presentation</strong> (structure, clarity, referencing accuracy, ethical reporting)</li> </ul> <ol start="5"> <li><strong> Review Outcomes and Editorial Decisions</strong></li> </ol> <p>Based on reviewers’ reports and the Editorial Board’s assessment, a manuscript may receive one of the following decisions:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Accept</strong> (rare at first round)</li> <li><strong>Minor Revision</strong> (acceptance likely after small corrections)</li> <li><strong>Major Revision</strong> (substantial changes required; re-review may be needed)</li> <li><strong>Reject</strong> (insufficient quality, scope mismatch, or major methodological/ethical concerns)</li> </ol> <p>The final decision rests with the Editorial Board. The journal may appoint additional reviewers in special cases, such as:</p> <ul> <li>when reviewer recommendations significantly diverge,</li> <li>when specialized expertise is required, or</li> <li>when ethical or methodological concerns require further assessment.</li> </ul> <ol start="6"> <li><strong> Revision Process</strong></li> </ol> <p>When revisions are requested, authors must:</p> <ul> <li>respond to each reviewer comment systematically,</li> <li>submit a revised manuscript with clear tracked changes (where applicable), and</li> <li>provide a response letter explaining how each issue was addressed or justified.</li> </ul> <p>For major revisions, the revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers for re-evaluation to confirm that concerns have been adequately resolved.</p> <ol start="7"> <li><strong> Confidentiality and Ethical Conduct</strong></li> </ol> <p>All submitted manuscripts and review communications are treated as confidential. Manuscripts are shared only with individuals directly involved in editorial management and peer review. Reviewers are prohibited from:</p> <ul> <li>sharing the manuscript with others without permission,</li> <li>using unpublished content for personal advantage, or</li> <li>copying or distributing any part of the manuscript.</li> </ul> <p>Editors and reviewers must maintain professionalism and avoid discriminatory, inappropriate, or personal remarks in the review process.</p> <ol start="8"> <li><strong> Originality and Exclusive Submission</strong></li> </ol> <p>The journal accepts only manuscripts that are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>original</strong>, not previously published in any form that constitutes prior publication, and</li> <li><strong>not under consideration</strong> by another journal at the time of submission.</li> </ul> <p>Authors are required to confirm exclusivity and originality at submission. Failure to comply may result in rejection and may be treated as ethical misconduct.</p> <ol start="9"> <li><strong> Editorial Rights and Publication Scheduling</strong></li> </ol> <p>The Editorial Board reserves the right to:</p> <ul> <li>request editorial revisions for clarity, format, or consistency,</li> <li>make minor editorial adjustments that do not affect scholarly content, and</li> <li>determine the order and timing of publication based on academic merit, thematic fit, review outcomes, and editorial priorities.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Publication Ethics</strong></p> <p>The journal upholds strict publication ethics in accordance with internationally recognized standards for academic publishing. Authors are expected to ensure originality, proper citation, transparency in data reporting, and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. Any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, or unethical research conduct will result in immediate rejection or retraction.</p> <p>Reviewers are required to conduct objective, confidential, and constructive evaluations. Editors are responsible for ensuring fairness, transparency, and integrity throughout the editorial process.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Article Processing Fee</strong></p> <p>Upon formal acceptance of a manuscript for publication, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) of <strong>6,000 Thai Baht (Six Thousand Baht) per article</strong>. The fee is charged only after the manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and has been officially accepted by the Editorial Board.</p> <p><strong>Payment Details:</strong></p> <p>Kasikorn Bank (KBank), Thailand<br />Account Number: 250-2-75039-1</p> <p>Authors must upload proof of payment (e.g., transfer slip or transaction confirmation screenshot) through the designated submission or discussion system on the journal’s website.</p> <p> </p> https://so02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/ijdar/announcement/view/2328 2026-04-01T10:37:49+07:00 International Journal of Development Administration Research
