The Journal of Local Governance and Innovation (JLGI) hereby announces the temporary suspension of manuscript submissions, effective immediately until further notice.
This temporary suspension aims to facilitate the efficient management of manuscripts currently under the editorial and peer-review process, ensuring that all submitted manuscripts are processed within the journal's expected timeframe while maintaining the highest standards of academic quality.
The suspension is also part of the Journal's ongoing Journal Quality Management initiative, which seeks to strengthen editorial operations and publication standards in accordance with the quality criteria established by the Thai Journal Citation Index Centre (TCI), the academic evaluation criteria of the Office of the Higher Education Commission (formerly OHEC/Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation), and internationally recognized best practices in scholarly publishing.
During this period, the Editorial Board will continue to conduct editorial screening, peer review, revision, and publication processes for manuscripts that have already been submitted through the journal's online system. Authors who submitted their manuscripts prior to this announcement will not be affected, and their manuscripts will proceed through the normal editorial process until completion.
The Journal will announce the reopening of manuscript submissions through the official journal website and the ThaiJO online submission system once the editorial process has been fully optimized.
The Editorial Board sincerely appreciates the continued trust and support of authors, reviewers, researchers, and academic communities. We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
