Editorial Policy

The Chiang Mai Journal of Science is an international English language peer-reviewed journal which is published in open access electronic format 6 times a year in January, March, May, July, September and November by the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University. Manuscripts in most areas of science are welcomed except in areas such as agriculture, engineering and medical science which are outside the scope of the Journal. Currently, we focus on manuscripts in biology, food science, chemistry, microbiology, physics, materials science and environmental science. Papers in mathematics are also included but should be of an applied nature rather than purely theoretical. Manuscripts describing experiments on humans or animals are required to provide proof that all experiments have been carried out according to the ethical regulations of the respective institutional and/or governmental authorities and this should be clearly stated in the manuscript itself. The Editor reserves the right to reject manuscripts that fail to do so.

Papers which have already been published in other journals or which are under consideration by other journals should not be submitted. Similarly, papers published here should not be submitted to other journals. Manuscripts that are suspected to involve plagiarism or other types of ethical misconduct, including but not limited to duplicate publication, multiple submission or salami slicing, will also be rejected. As from 1 January 2022, manuscripts that are submitted on or after this date and have passed successfully through peer review and been accepted will be subject to a publication fee of 350 US$ (if from overseas) or 10,000 Baht (if from within Thailand) before they can be published.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

In the past, the Journal published Special Issues (up to 2 per year) on request but this practice has been discontinued. Special Issues have now been replaced by Special Collections, the difference being that papers in Special Collections do not have to be published in the same regular issue; instead, they can be distributed among different regular issues. However, they can still be brought together as a “Collection” under a separate title and publicized on the Journal website to attract attention. Requests for articles in this category e.g. from the conference should be addressed to the Editor for consideration.

TYPES OF MANUSCRIPT

Manuscripts may be submitted in the form of Review Articles, Research Papers or Short Communications and must be clearly and concisely written in English. As an approximate guide to length:

Review Articles would not normally exceed 50 pages of double-spaced A4 text, inclusive of tables, figures and references, with a maximum of 120 references. Reviews are normally by invitation only but prospective authors are welcome to contact the Editor or appropriate Associate Editor to discuss possible contributions. Please see Review Article Guidelines for more information.
Research Papers would not normally exceed 25 pages of double-spaced A4 text, including not more than 5 tables, 5 figures and 45 references.
Short Communications would not normally exceed 10 pages of double-spaced A4 text, including not more than 2 tables, 2 figures and a maximum of 30 references.

Manuscripts that exceed these limits will be returned to the corresponding author for editing.

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Manuscripts submitted for publication will normally consist of the following sections: Title, Authors Names and Affiliations (including an ORCID ID if possible and an e-mail address for the corresponding author), Graphical Abstract (optional), Abstract (including Keywords), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if any), Conflict of Interest Statement, and References. For format and general style, authors should refer to current issues (see also the Journal website) as a guide. Manuscripts that do not conform to these guidelines will be rejected at the submission stage. Photographs, figures and line drawings should be of optimum quality.

Only references actually cited in the main text should be included in the References section and should be cited in numerical order. Manuscripts should be typed as MSWord documents in single column format using double-spacing on A4-sized pages with justified text. The font type should be Times New Roman with 11-point font size for the main body of the text. Any tables and figures should follow at the end of the main text and be saved in the same document file. SI units of measurement should be used throughout.

It is strongly recommended that, where appropriate, the paper should be proof-read by a native English speaker, or at least someone proficient in the English language, before being submitted so as to avoid the possibility of rejection on language rather than scientific grounds. The Editor reserves the right to request proof of language editing.
