Peer Review Process

The Journal Multidisciplinary Academic Research and Development follows these steps to ensure the quality of each submission:

  1. The editorial team will notify the authors once the submission is complete. The submitted article must not have been published before, must have less than 10% content similarity (checked using the Copycatch program on the ThaiJO system), and should not be under consideration by another journal until the review process is completed or the article is withdrawn by the editors.
  2. The editorial team will assess the topic and content of the article for relevance and alignment with the journal’s objectives.
  3. If the editorial team deems the article suitable for further review, it will be sent to two experts in the relevant field (or at least three experts if requested by the author in the submission form) for quality evaluation. This peer review process is double-blind, meaning the reviewers do not know the authors' identities, and the authors do not know the reviewers' identities. Based on the reviewers' feedback, the editorial team will decide whether the article should be published, revised, or rejected.
  4. The acceptance of an article is at the discretion of the editor, and the editor reserves the right to edit the article or return it to the authors for revision, supplementation, or re-submission.
