Thai Journals Online (ThaiJO) is Thailand's central electronic journal database, which provides a comprehensive database of academic journals produced in Thailand in all fields of science, technology, and humanities and social sciences. Currently, there are 1,309 journals, 24,603 issues, 261,140 articles, and 575,775 user accounts in the system (as of August 19, 2023). ThaiJO is therefore the largest repository of academic articles in Thailand, and its content continues to grow every year. In addition to being a significant source for collecting, searching, and referencing in the country, it also publishes original works from students, professors, academics, and researchers, both domestically and internationally.

The Journal of Information and Learning (JIL) is published by the Office of Academic Resources at Prince of Songkla University. ThaiJO conducts the entire journal process, from article submission to review and publication. As a result, the editorial team must communicate with authors and qualified individuals via ThaiJO. If the authors and reviewers accounts are incomplete or inaccurate, it can lead to errors or delays in searching and communication, which can be detrimental and waste the valuable time of both authors and reviewers.

The editorial team kindly requests authors and reviewers to update their user information in the ThaiJO system to ensure completeness and accuracy. To do so, follow these steps and procedures:

1) Visit the journal management system at https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/jil/index and click the "Login" button located in the upper right corner.

Updating user account information in the ThaiJO system is a one-time process, as it is a Single Sign-On (SSO) system. Therefore, authors and reviewers do not need to update their user account information multiple times when communicating with various journal editorial teams.
