Manuscript Preparation

1. Article Size: Articles should be typed in Microsoft Word on A4 size paper, single-sided, approximately 25 lines per page in portrait orientation. Use the TH Sarabun New font size 16, and include page numbers at the top right of the paper (except the first page). The article length should not exceed 15 pages. For page setup and margins, set the top, bottom, left, and right margins to 2.54 cm, with the header at 1.25 cm and the footer at 1.25 cm.
2. Title, Author’s Name, and Affiliation: The title in both Thai and English should be centered using TH Sarabun New font size 18, bold. The author (s), name (s), and affiliation(s) should be written in both Thai and English, using TH Sarabun New font size 16, bold, without specifying the title (Mr., Ms., etc.). The affiliation should detail the department, faculty, institution, or organizational affiliation, including an email address for contact. In cases of multiple authors, indicate who the Corresponding Author is.
3. Abstract: The abstract title should be in TH Sarabun New font size 18, bold, and aligned to the left. The abstract text and keywords should use TH Sarabun New font size 16, regular. For Thai articles, write the abstract in both Thai and English. For English articles, write the abstract in English (an additional Thai abstract is optional). The combined Thai and English abstracts should not exceed one A4 page, formatted in one column, with an approximate length of 250 words. The abstract should include up to 5 keywords in Thai and the term "Keywords" followed by up to 5 keywords in English for that article.
4. Content: Use TH Sarabun New font size 18, bold, and left-aligned for headings. The main text under each heading should be in TH Sarabun New font size 16, regular.
5. Illustrations and Tables: Ensure that images are clear. Actual photographs should be attached if the submission includes photographs. If images are sourced from elsewhere, proper academic citations are required. Use the term "Figure" for images and "Table" for tables.
6. References: Follow the APA citation style with the following conditions:

           6.1 No more than 20 references should be cited, and they should generally be no more than 15 years old, except for concepts or theories over 10 years old that are still relevant and in use, which can be cited.

           6.2 For in-text citations, use the author-year system, citing only the surname in English, such as Yaempoklarng (2012) or (Yaempoklarng, 2012). For two authors, include both surnames, e.g., Klinkul and Sartnonnut (2009) or (Klinkul and Sartnonnut, 2009). For more than two authors, cite the first author's surname followed by "et al.", e.g., Hair et al. (1998) or (Hair et al., 1998).

           6.3 References should be printed in one column and sorted alphabetically by the English alphabet. References in Thai must be translated entirely into English, maintaining the original Thai references as well. Each English translation should be listed first, followed by the original Thai citation, and "in Thai" should be appended to the end of the English translations derived from Thai sources. When sorting references, those translated from Thai to English should be alphabetized by English letters. For references with up to six authors, list all names; if there are more than six authors, list the first six, followed by "et al."
