Objectives and Scope

         MSCSJ is committed to serving as a platform for knowledge exchange and the dissemination of research findings in humanities and social sciences, particularly in relation to the civilizations of the Mekong-Salween region, which encompasses Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The journal covers five key disciplines:

1. General Arts and Humanities
2. History
3. Language and Linguistics
4. Visual Arts and Performing Arts
5. Cultural Studies

Types of Manuscripts and Review Process

MSCSJ publishes two types of academic work:

Research Articles

Academic Articles

         Submitted manuscripts must be original and must not have been previously published or under consideration for publication in other academic journals.  All submissions undergo a double-blinded peer review process, in which three experts in relevant fields assess the manuscript anonymously—reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.  Final publication decisions are at the sole discretion of the editorial board.

Article Processing Fees

        MSCSJ charges a publication fee of 3,500 THB per article, for both Thai and English manuscripts. However, this fee is only collected after the manuscript has passed editorial screening and the necessary revisions, as per the editors' recommendations, have been completed. The article will then proceed to the peer review process.
