Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics

              The Journal of Science and Applied Science, published by the Faculty of Science and Technology at Uttaradit Rajabhat University, is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to disseminating knowledge and research in the fields of science and applied science. This includes contemporary science, pure science, physical science, science and technology, environmental science, health science, and related disciplines. The journal follows a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Each manuscript is evaluated by at least three experts from various institutions. The review process adheres to international publication standards, and the possible outcomes are:

  • Acceptance without revision
  • Acceptance with minor revisions
  • Acceptance with major revisions and re-submission
  • Rejection

          To maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, the journal has established a code of ethics that all parties involved in the publication process must adhere to.
