Guidelines for detailing human research ethics in research articles

According to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to consider and approve human research ethics for the research projects of the association's researchers and external researchers. From now on, all research manuscripts that will be submitted to be considered for publication in the association's journals, research must be given importance and conducted in strict accordance with ethical standards for human research.

All research articles involving human subjects should receive human research ethics approval from a human research ethics committee of a reputable agency. Those articles must include details of human research ethics certification, including the name of the certifying agency and committee and the certification number. For research articles that have not previously received human research ethics approval, detail the conditions for exemption from approval and the procedures the researcher has used to ensure that the research complies with the ethical standards of human research must be clearly stated. All these details, both in certified and non-certified cases, are set out in the Research Methodology section.

The editors may consider and decide to reject any submissions that do not provide these details, especially those that may not comply with ethical standards for human research.

  • Announcement of Reviewers Recognized for "Excellence in Reviewing" (Year 2025) under the TCI Reviewer Recognition and Certificate (RRC) System

    2026-01-22

    The Thai-Journal Citation Index Centre (TCI) has developed the Reviewer Recognition and Certificate (RRC) system to elevate the quality assessment of Thai academic journals to meet international standards. This initiative aims to acknowledge reviewers who demonstrate exceptional dedication and high-quality contributions to the peer-review process.

    Under this scheme, the Editor-in-Chief of each participating journal is tasked with nominating five reviewers who demonstrate "Excellence in Reviewing" for the year 2025 to receive this official recognition.

  • Important Announcement from the President of the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS)

    2025-12-30

    In light of the recent announcement by the Civil Service Commission in Higher Education Institutions (CSCHE) dated October 29, 2025, regarding the criteria and procedures for appointing individuals to academic positions (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor) (No. 3) B.E. 2568 (2025), which amends the previous announcement of B.E. 2564 (2021), we are updating our peer review policy for all journals published by ALPS.

     

    The new CSCHE announcement requires that articles published in national academic journals must be in journals listed in TCI Group 1 or Group 2 databases and must undergo peer review by at least two experts from various institutions in the relevant field or related fields before publication.

     

    To align with these requirements and enhance efficiency, ALPS is modifying its peer review policy for all journal submissions effective January 1, 2026, as follows:

    1. The minimum number of peer reviewers will be reduced from three to two.
    2. By default, the editorial board will arrange for two peer reviewers to evaluate each submission.
    3. A third reviewer (or more) may be involved if deemed necessary or if additional expert opinions are required.
    4. Authors may submit a written request to the editorial board for their article to be reviewed by three peer reviewers if they feel it is necessary. However, the editorial board reserves the right to consider such requests on a case-by-case basis.

     

    We believe these changes will streamline our review process while maintaining the high standards of academic rigor expected in our publications.

     

    For any questions or concerns regarding this policy change, please contact the editorial office.

     

    Sincerely,

    Associate Professor Dr. Thanaporn SRIYAKUL

  • Official Statement on the Use of AI and Ethical Referencing Practices

    2025-10-13

    The Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), as the owner and publisher of the Asian Administration and Management Review (AAMR), emphasizes the importance of maintaining academic integrity across all its publications.

     

    In accordance with the guidelines established by reputable international scholarly and professional organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network, the editorial board of ALPS has identified irregularities in the references of certain manuscripts submitted for publication. These irregularities raise concerns about potential violations of ethical standards and our journal policies, possibly resulting from the inappropriate use of AI tools.

     

    Therefore, ALPS issues the following guidelines:

    1) Authors suspected of engaging in unethical practices related to AI or reference integrity will be given an opportunity to clarify the circumstances surrounding the irregularities.

    2) If the explanation is sincere and demonstrates unintentional error, authors will be allowed to correct the issues before proceeding further with the publication process.

    3) If the explanation is unsatisfactory or indicates deliberate misconduct, the submission will be rejected, and the authors will be subject to our blacklisting policy.

     

    For articles that have bypassed the review process or have already been published, ALPS reserves the right to retract such articles retroactively in order to uphold the scholarly standards and integrity of our publications. Additionally, notifications will be sent to the respective academic institutions regarding any misconduct to ensure proper oversight.

     

    ALPS remains committed to promoting ethical research and publication practices across all its journals.

    1. Authors will have a maximum of three opportunities to revise their manuscript:
      • Initial submission
      • First revision
      • Two additional revision opportunities (if necessary)
    2. If the manuscript does not meet our publication standards after these three revisions, it will be rejected.
    3. Rejected manuscripts may be substantially revised and resubmitted as new submissions.
    4. The editorial team may assign the same reviewers to resubmitted manuscripts for consistency.

    Process Example:

    • Initial Submission → Revise
    • 1st Revision → Not Accepted → 1st Additional Revision
    • 2nd Revision → Not Accepted → 2nd and Final Revision
    • 3rd Revision → If Not Accepted → Rejection (Submission fee non-refundable)

    This policy is designed to:

    • Enhance the efficiency of our review process
    • Encourage authors to address reviewer comments thoroughly
    • Maintain the high quality of research published in our journal

    We believe this approach will benefit both authors and readers by ensuring the timely publication of high-quality research.

  • Special Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver for International Authors (2025-2027)

    2025-05-21

    The Asian Administration and Management Review (AAMR) is dedicated to publishing high-quality research on public administration, management, and organizational studies within the Asian context. In line with our commitment to fostering global collaboration and promoting diverse perspectives, and in response to Scopus recommendations regarding the geographical diversity of authorship and content, AAMR is pleased to announce a Special Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver for all international authors for submissions made and accepted for publication between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2027.

    This initiative is designed to remove financial barriers that may prevent researchers from outside of Thailand from publishing their work in AAMR. By waiving the APC for international authors during this period, we aim to:

    • Increase the diversity of perspectives on administration and management in Asia:We seek to include a wider range of experiences and research on public and private sector administration, leadership, and organizational challenges across the Asian region.
    • Support researchers in under-resourced institutions:We aim to enable researchers facing financial constraints to share their valuable findings and contribute to the global understanding of administration and management in Asia.
    • Promote innovative approaches to administration and management:By publishing research from diverse cultural and institutional contexts, we hope to foster the development of more effective and equitable administrative and management practices in Asia.

    Eligibility:

    • This APC waiver applies to all manuscripts submitted by corresponding authors affiliated with institutions located outside of Thailand.
    • The waiver is valid for manuscripts submitted and accepted for publication between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2027.

    AAMR encourages researchers from around the globe to submit their high-quality research to the journal during this special waiver period. We look forward to receiving your submissions and contributing to the advancement of administration and management knowledge and practice in Asia.

  • ALPS Enhances Quality and International Standing of its Journals

    2025-05-21

    The Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS) is committed to continuously improving the quality and impact of its journals. As part of this ongoing commitment, ALPS submitted its journals for indexing in leading international databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (WoS).

    While initial evaluations did not result in immediate acceptance for all journals, ALPS received highly positive and constructive feedback from both database providers. The feedback emphasized a few key areas for improvement, which ALPS has diligently addressed across its journal portfolio.

    These areas primarily concern further strengthening the quality of published articles, enhancing the international scope of cited literature, and more explicitly connecting articles to global scholarly debates within each journal's respective field.

    To meet these requirements and to elevate all ALPS journals to a new level of international excellence, ALPS is implementing the following enhancements:

    • Website Updates:We have thoroughly updated key information on each journal website, including the About the Journal, Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement, and Instructions for Authors, aligning them with international best practices for scholarly publications.
    • Revised Review Form (Version 3):We are implementing Version 3 of our robust Article Evaluation Form, building upon the strengths of the previous version and incorporating specific recommendations from database evaluators. This enhanced form will enable reviewers to more effectively assess and guide submissions towards achieving higher quality and greater international relevance in their respective subject areas.

    These enhancements are designed to benefit all stakeholders:

    • Authors:The elevated standards will encourage authors to prepare higher-quality manuscripts, and the detailed feedback provided through the revised review process will facilitate significant improvements to accepted articles.
    • Reviewers and Editors:The updated Review Form provides a more structured and targeted framework for evaluating manuscripts and offering constructive feedback, leading to a more efficient and impactful review process.
    • Readers and the Scholarly Community:These enhancements will ensure that published articles are of the highest quality, contributing valuable insights and advancing scholarly discussions within their respective disciplines.

    These initiatives will improve each journal's readiness for evaluations by national (TCI) and international (Scopus and WoS) databases and provide the tools needed to elevate the published research to the highest standards.

    ALPS is confident that these efforts will significantly enhance the quality and international standing of all its journals, making them even more valuable resources for scholars and practitioners in their respective fields.

  • Asian Administration and Management Review – Web of Science Indexing Application Update

    2025-04-30

    The Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS) wishes to inform its stakeholders of an update regarding the application of the Asian Administration and Management Review (AAMR) for inclusion in the Web of Science (WoS).

    AAMR was initially submitted for WoS indexing consideration on July 30, 2024. Recently, ALPS received notification that AAMR has not passed the Web of Science Editorial Triage step. The Web of Science Editorial Team identified the following areas for improvement:

    1. Website Functionality/Journal Format: The journal website lacked a direct link to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the publisher. To ensure transparency, the inclusion of this link was deemed necessary. Additionally, the available ThaiJO user manuals for authors and reviewers were only available in Thai, while the journal publishes in English.
    2. Presence of Ethics Statement: The existing Publication Ethics statement was considered to overlap with those of other publishers (e.g., Elsevier). A revised, in-house developed statement was recommended to demonstrate the journal's understanding and ownership of its policies and processes. Furthermore, citations to external guidelines (e.g., COPE, WAME, etc.) required direct links to the referenced documents.

    In response to this feedback, ALPS has implemented the following revisions to the AAMR website:

    1. A direct link to the ALPS website (as well as to White Tiger Legal Business and Research Consultants Co., Ltd., the Co-publisher) has been added to the "Ownership and Management" section of the "About the Journal" page.
    2. Given the absence of official English-language ThaiJO user manuals for authors and reviewers, the link to the Thai-language ThaiJO manual has been replaced with a link to the English-language Open Journal Systems (OJS) documentation provided by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) of Simon Fraser University, from which the ThaiJO manual was translated.
    3. The Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement has been entirely rewritten, drawing from the journal's existing policies and practices, with updated information and comprehensive citations and links to relevant resources.

    With these improvements now complete, ALPS intends to resubmit AAMR for a second round of consideration by Web of Science on May 1, 2025. We appreciate the ongoing support of our authors, reviewers, and readers as we work towards achieving this important milestone.

  • Enhancing the Quality of AAMR by Clearly Identifying the Contribution and Novelty of Each Submitted Article

    2025-02-05

    The Asian Administration and Management Review (AAMR) has been assessed and certified by the Thai Journal Citation Index Center for inclusion in the TCI database, categorizing it in Tier 1 (the highest tier) for the evaluation of journal quality within the TCI database, Round 5, effective from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029, the journal aims to elevate its quality further in preparation for assessment by international databases such as Scopus and WoS. The editorial board, therefore, requires that every article submitted for consideration for publication in AAMR must clearly identify the "contribution" and "novelty" of each article in at least two sections: 1) at the end of the "Abstract" and 2) at the "Conclusion and Discussion" section. This should be presented as a narrative rather than as separate subheadings. Articles that do not comply with this requirement may be asked to make revisions before the editor assigns them for review by external reviewers. Furthermore, if, at the final stage, the editor-in-chief finds that the authors have not sufficiently addressed these elements, those articles may ultimately be rejected for publication in AAMR. The judgment of the EIC shall be final, and authors will not be able to request a refund of the article processing charge.

  • AAMR Scopus CiteScore / TCI Impact Factor 2024 (Q4)

    2025-01-06

    Asian Administration and Management Review values measuring the journal's quality by acknowledging and referencing articles published in the journal to expand the academic community's knowledge. Therefore, AAMR monitors the number of times its articles are cited by articles published in journals indexed in national and international databases.

    In 2020-2023, articles published in AAMR were cited in journals whose index in Scopus totaled 35 times, while AAMR published 72 articles during the same period. Therefore, its CiteScore for 2023 is 049. As of December 31, 2024, the CiteScore tracker 2024 (Q4) will likely increase to 0.54.

    In 2022-2023, articles published in AAMR were cited in journals whose index in TCI totaled 49 times, while AAMR published 52 articles during the same period. Therefore, its impact factor for 2023 is 0.94. As of December 31, 2024, the IF tracker 2024 (Q4) will likely decline to 0.81.

  • Guidelines for detailing human research ethics in research articles

    2024-02-17

    According to the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS), the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been established to consider and approve human research ethics for the research projects of the association's researchers and external researchers. From now on, all research manuscripts that will be submitted to be considered for publication in the association's journals, research must be given importance and conducted in strict accordance with ethical standards for human research.

    All research articles involving human subjects should receive human research ethics approval from a human research ethics committee of a reputable agency. Those articles must include details of human research ethics certification, including the name of the certifying agency and committee and the certification number. For research articles that have not previously received human research ethics approval, detail the conditions for exemption from approval and the procedures the researcher has used to ensure that the research complies with the ethical standards of human research must be clearly stated. All these details, both in certified and non-certified cases, are set out in the Research Methodology section.

    The editors may consider and decide to reject any submissions that do not provide these details, especially those that may not comply with ethical standards for human research.

  • What is Open Peer Review?

    2022-09-07

    As all of you probably know that all 6 journals of PSAKU have changed their quality assessment model from “double-blind peer review” (DBR) to “open peer review” (OPR) since the middle of the year. However, this new model is still not widely known, especially in Thailand, which makes many people unfamiliar with doubts. Therefore, the editorial team would like to collect articles and videos that have been prepared and published by major publishers around the world for you to read and understand.

  • AAMR will change its peer review model to open peer review in the second half of 2022:

    2022-04-05

    Perspectives on the peer review process have shifted from anonymity between authors and reviewers as a means of preventing bias to transparency to allow members of the academic community to jointly review the process. As a result, we found that many of the world's largest and most well-known publishers such as Springer Nature, Frontiers, MDPI, and BMJ have all switched their traditional review models to open peer review.

    Therefore, in order to make the article quality assessment process of AAMR more efficient, we have decided to change the peer review model of articles submitted for publication in our journal to open peer review from Vol. 5 No. 2 (July-December 2022) onwards. This means that the names of the handling editor, reviewers, and authors will be disclosed to each other throughout the review process. Also, the name of the handling editor and reviewers will also be mentioned in the article once it has been published.
