Aims and Scope

Sahasat: Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary academic journal that publishes articles in the form of Research Articles, Academic Articles, and Review Articles. The journal primarily focuses on the fields of social sciences, humanities, and education, as well as other related disciplines that contribute to the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge. Submitted manuscripts are expected to demonstrate conceptual and theoretical clarity, systematic analysis or research findings, and academic rigor that support the advancement of scholarly knowledge in an interdisciplinary context.

The journal accepts submissions in Thai and English. All manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. The journal adheres to an Open Access policy, providing free online access to full-text articles to promote academic knowledge exchange while upholding ethical standards and copyright protection.

Article Types

SJSSH publishes the following three types of articles:

• Research Articles – Empirical studies conducted with a sound research methodology, including clear objectives, hypotheses, and conceptual frameworks. Submissions must present reliable findings consistent with research aims, with in-depth discussion grounded in theory and practical or policy-related implications.
• Academic Articles – Scholarly works presenting original ideas or in-depth content with critical analysis, constructive discussion, and academic contributions that advance disciplinary knowledge.
• Review Articles – Systematic reviews that synthesize, analyze, and interpret existing knowledge or research on a particular topic. Submissions should provide conceptual frameworks, highlight developments, trends, or research gaps, and offer reasoned critiques and forward-looking recommendations for future studies.

Language of Publication

SJSSH publishes articles in two languages:

• Thai
• English

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts must be original and not previously published or under review elsewhere to avoid duplication and copyright concerns. Each manuscript is initially screened by the editorial board and subsequently evaluated by at least three experts in the relevant field through a double-blind peer review process, ensuring neutrality, academic rigor, and international publishing standards.

Publication Frequency

SJSSH is published biannually:

• Issue 1: January – June
• Issue 2: July – December

Publication Fees

SJSSH does not charge any publication fees at any stage of submission, review, or publication.

However, in cases where a manuscript is withdrawn after peer review has commenced and honoraria for reviewers have been disbursed, or after the manuscript has been accepted for publication, the authors will be responsible for reimbursing actual expenses incurred, including reviewer honoraria.
