Preparing the Manuscript

Manuscripts must be submitted online through the Journal of Sinology (JSINO) system via https://journal.mfu.ac.th/index.php/jsino.

The journal publishes articles in Thai, Chinese, and English, providing a platform for researchers in Chinese studies to share original and innovative scholarship. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer review by at least three experts in relevant disciplines. Manuscripts submitted to JSINO must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Once accepted, the journal retains full copyright for publication and distribution. Authors will receive proofs for final approval before publication. The journal does not charge submission, publication, or page fees.
