Journal Policy

Editorial Policy

Independent reviewers will evaluate academic and research articles for publication. The articles must include substantial supported theories, innovative work, substantial experimental results, useful and constructive discussions, and academic articles in the fields of engineering and technology. An electronic journal is available on the website (https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/lej/). The Editors have the right to request revisions to the submitted manuscript before it is finally accepted. The institute and the editorial board do not take responsibility for the views or content expressed by the authors of individual articles. Acknowledgment is required for any copying.

Open Access and Archiving Policies

This journal promotes the global exchange of ideas and knowledge by providing open access to its research content.

The Engineering and Technology Horizons journal's articles are available on Thailand's central electronic journal database, Thai Journal Online (ThaiJO). You can access all the published articles for free from the archives section on their website (https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/lej/issue/archive). The authors hold the copyright of their articles, and they are permitted to self-archive their articles in PDF format.

Publication Fee Policy

The Engineering and Technology Horizons journal is an open-access publication founded by the School of Engineering, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in Thailand. Its purpose is to publish high-quality academic and research articles on engineering and technology. The journal is open to anyone whose research work meets the editorial board's criteria, and there are no page charges for submissions. The School of Engineering fully covers the cost of publication.

Peer-Reviewed Policy

Manuscripts submitted to Engineering and Technology Horizons undergo editorial and peer review. Editors assess whether a manuscript is technically sound and scientifically valid before sending it for double-blind peer review. Authors can suggest peer reviewers in the ETH article submission form, but the Editor's decision is final. Authors should not recommend recent collaborators or colleagues from the same institution. If an Editor has competing interests, another member will oversee peer review. Authors should include copies of related papers with their submission.

AI Tool Policy

AI tools should not be credited with authorship because they cannot independently create a research design and lack accountability for the integrity, originality, and validity of published work. Therefore, AI should neither be listed as an author nor cited as one; authorship should be solely attributed to human contributions.

Authors are encouraged to use generative AI primarily to enhance readability and language. However, since AI can produce outputs that may be incorrect, incomplete, or biased, it is essential for authors to review and edit the results thoroughly.  Additionally, authors should include a statement in their manuscript disclosing the use of AI (an example of such a statement is provided below). This disclosure will be included in their published article.

Statement: This manuscript was prepared using (NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE) for the purpose of (REASON). It has been reviewed and edited as necessary by (AUTHOR(S)' NAME(S)). The authors take full responsibility for the content of this publication.

Note: If the authors only utilized AI for grammar checks, error corrections, or reference verification, disclosure is not required.
