CMU Journal of Law and Social Sciences

The CMU Journal of Law and Social Sciences, published by the Faculty of Law, Chiang Mai University, disseminates academic works in various legal fields such as public law, private law, criminal law, international law, etc. These works are related to social science knowledge in various disciplines. The journal operates as a refereed journal, with each article being evaluated by at least two reviewers. The reviewers do not have access to the authors' identities, and the authors are unaware of the reviewers' identities (double-blind review process). The journal publishes two issues per year: Issue 1 from January to June and Issue 2 from July to December. There are two types of articles accepted for publication:

(1) Research articles presenting knowledge, concepts, theories, research, and new findings related to various legal fields such as public law, private law, criminal law, international law, etc., which are associated with social science knowledge in different disciplines.

(2) Book reviews or review articles covering content related to various legal fields such as public law, private law, criminal law, international law, etc., which are associated with social science knowledge in different disciplines.

For articles categorized as book reviews or review articles, which are considered Non-Peer Review Content, the editorial board will assess the quality of the articles. Alternatively, they may consider forwarding the articles to experts in relevant fields for evaluation. At least one expert reviewer will assess the quality of the articles based on suitability. (If evaluated by experts, the editorial board will consider reviewers with expertise directly related to the article's field. Reviewers and authors may or may not share affiliations. Regardless, the quality assessment process will be conducted anonymously for both authors and reviewers.)
