Manuscript Editing for The Journal of International Buddhist Studies College Articles
The Journal of International Buddhist Studies College advances scholarly research and academic dialogue in Buddhism, religious studies, and related disciplines. It covers traditional Buddhist scholarship and its application in economics, social administration, environmental studies, and education. Manuscripts may treat Buddhism as philosophy, way of life, social system, and source of ethical and mental development. The International Buddhist Studies College of Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University publishes it in English, three times a year, from Wang Noi in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand.
Research articles run 5,000 to 8,000 words and academic articles 4,000 to 6,000, excluding references. Citations are author-date in the text, with URLs in references where available. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. The abstract runs 200 to 250 words, followed by keywords. Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, and other terms are italicized, with diacritics where appropriate. Headings are numbered 1, 1.1, and 1.1.1, and block quotations over 40 words are indented. Files go in as .docx, with a separate author file giving affiliation, email, and a biography of 100 to 150 words. After editorial screening, review is double-blind, normally with two reviewers. A publication fee applies after acceptance. Submissions go through the journal's ThaiJO site.
