Instructions for Authors<br />

A proper introductory e-mail page containing the title <strong>of</strong> the submitted article and certifying<br />

its originality should be sent to the editor (Duang Buddhasukh, e-mail : duang@mju.ac.th). The<br />

manuscript proper together with a list <strong>of</strong> suggested referees should be attached in separate files. The<br />

list should contain at least 5 referees with appropriate expertise. Three referees should be non-native<br />

from 3 different countries. Each referee's academic/pr<strong>of</strong>essional position, scientific expertise,<br />

affiliation and e-mail address must be given. The referees should not be affiliated to the same<br />

university/institution as any <strong>of</strong> the authors, nor should any two referees come from the same<br />

university/institution. The editorial team, however, retain the sole right to decide whether or not the<br />

suggested referees are approached.<br />

Failure to conform to the above instructions will result in non-consideration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

submission.<br />

Please also ensure that English and style is properly edited before submission. UK style <strong>of</strong><br />

spelling should be used. Authors who would like to consult a pr<strong>of</strong>essional service can visit<br />

www.pro<strong>of</strong>-reading-service.com, www.editage.com, www.enago.com, www.bioedit.co.uk<br />

(bioscience and medical papers), www.bioscienceeditingsolutions.com, www.scribendi.com,<br />

www.letpub.com, www.papersconsulting.com or www.sticklerediting.com.<br />

Important : Manuscript with substandard English and style will not be considered.<br />

Warning : Plagiarism (including self-plagiarism) may be checked for at the last stage <strong>of</strong> processing<br />

and, if detected, will result in a rejection and blacklisting.<br />

Manuscript Preparation<br />

Manuscripts must be prepared in English using a word processor. MS Word for Macintosh or<br />

Windows, and .doc or .rtf files are preferred. Manuscripts may be prepared with other s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

provided that the full document (with figures, schemes and tables inserted into the text) is exported to<br />

a MS Word format for submission. Times or Times New Roman font is preferred. The font size<br />

should be 12 pt and the line spacing 'at least 17 pt'. A4 paper size is used and margins must be 1.5 cm<br />

on top, 2.0 cm at the bottom and 2.0 cm on both left and right sides <strong>of</strong> the paper. Although our final<br />

output is in .pdf format, authors are asked NOT to send manuscripts in this format as editing them is<br />

much more complicated. Under the above settings, a manuscript submitted should not be longer than<br />

15 pages for a full paper or 20 pages for a review paper.<br />

A template file may be downloaded from the <strong>Maejo</strong> Int. J. Sci. Technol. homepage.<br />

(DOWNLOAD HERE)<br />

Authors' full mailing addresses, homepage addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail<br />

addresses homepages can be included in the title page and these will be published in the manuscripts<br />

and the Table <strong>of</strong> Contents. The corresponding author should be clearly identified. It is the<br />

corresponding author's responsibility to ensure that all co-authors are aware <strong>of</strong> and approve <strong>of</strong> the<br />

contents <strong>of</strong> a submitted manuscript.<br />

A brief (200 word maximum) Abstract should be provided. The use in the Abstract <strong>of</strong><br />

numbers to identify compounds should be avoided unless these compounds are also identified by<br />

names.<br />

A list <strong>of</strong> three to five keywords must be given and placed after the Abstract. Keywords may<br />

be single words or very short phrases.
