The Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute (KURDI) on behalf of Kasetsart University publishes two journals - Kasetsart Journal: Natural Science and Kasetsart Journal: Social Sciences - to disseminate scientific research results both within Thailand and internationally.
The first volume of the Kasetsart Journal was published in March 1961. In 1980, the Journal was expanded into two separate publications. Currently Kasetsart Journal: Natural Science is produced bimonthly issues a year and is issued in February, April, June, August, October and December.

Manuscript
Requirements |
Unless
otherwise stipulated, the style and format of manuscripts submitted to
Kasetsart Journal (Natural Science) should follow the “Scientific Style
and Format: The Council of Science Editors, Style Manual Comittee. 2006 “Scientific Style and Format”, 7th ed. Reston (VA). For convenience, refer
to articles in the latest issue of the journal or for more details, contact
the Kasetsart Journal editorial office.
Use

International , often referred to as “International Units”)
for measurements and units.
|
Manuscripts preparation
|
Manuscripts
on original research should include the following elements. |
Title page, as p. 1. Include:
- Full title (be concise)
- Name(s) of author(s) and author affiliation(s) with
complete address(es)
- Contact information for the corresponding author,
including full name, complete mailing address, telephone, fax and electronic mailing address.
- Previous address of author(s) if research was conducted
at a place different from current affiliation.
Abstract, as p. 2. Include:
- An abstract not exceeding 200 words; all acronyms
and abbreviations defined; no references cited.
- State what, where and how it was done, major results.
- Five key words.
|
Introduction. In two
pages or less, review pertinent work, cite key references, explain importance
of the research and state objectives of your work. |
Materials and Methods. Provide
sufficient detail so work can be repeated. Describe new methods in detail;
accepted methods briefly with references. Use subheadings as needed for
clarity.
Use
of trade names. Trade names are to be avoided in defining
products whenever possible. If naming a product trade name cannot be avoided,
the trade names of other like products also should be mentioned and first
use should be accompanied by the superscript symbol TM followed in parentheses
by the owner’s name. If a product trade name is used, it is imperative
that the product be described in sufficient details so the nature of the
product will be understood by professionally trained readers. Do not use
trade names in titles.
Use
of abbreviations and acronyms. At first text use, define in
parentheses. Do not use
abbreviations and acronyms in titles.
Statistical
analysis. If variation within a treatment (coefficient of
variation, the standard
deviation divided by the mean) is small (less than 10%) and difference
among treatment means is large (greater than 3 standard deviations), it
is not necessary to conduct a statistical analysis. If the data do not
meet these criteria, appropriate statistical analysis must be conducted
and reported.
|
Results. Present results concisely using figures and tables as needed. Do not present
the same information in figures and tables.
Discussion. Discuss principles and relationship, point out exception. Show agreement
with published research work. The significance of the work or conductions
should be presented in the end of discussion.
Conclusion. State conclusions (not a summary) briefly.
Acknowledgements. List sources of financial or material support and the names of individuals
whose contributions were significant but not deserving of authorship.
Acknowledgment of an employer’s permission to publish will not be printed.
Literature
Cited. List only those references cited in the text. Required
format of references is described below.
Appendix. This section is rarely needed in a research paper but can be added if
deemed necessary (e.g., complicated calculations, detailed nomenclature).
Tables. Number each table with Arabic numerals. Place a descriptive caption at
the top of each table. Print one table per page. Columns and their headings
are usually (but not always) used to display the dependent variable(s)
being presented in the table. Foot-notes should be identified by lower
case letters appearing as superscripts in the body of the table and preceding
the footnote below the table.
Figures (graphs, charts, line drawings, photographs). Supply one illustration
per page with the figure number indicated under the illustration. Figure
captions should be double-spaced and listed consecutively on page(s) separate
from figures: use Arabic numerals. Include one original set of illustrations
with an original manuscript, marked, “ORIGINAL.” Illustrations for other
copies of the manuscript may be photocopies, provided they are clear.
Exceptions are photomicrographs, gel electrophoretic patterns, etc.; furnish
four glossy photographs for each of these.
Authors
are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce previously copyrighted
illustrations. Proof or certification of permission to reproduce is required.
Lettering,
data lines and symbols must be sufficiently large so as to be clearly
visible when the figure is reduced to a size commonly used in the journal.
When a color presentation is deemed necessary, please note this in the
cover letter of the submission.
|
|
Literature cited format |
Manuscripts
should follow the name-year reference format of the Council of Science
Editors (formerly Council of Biology Editors). Cite only necessary publications.
Primary rather than secondary references should be cited, when possible.
It is acceptable to cite work that is “in press” (i.e., accepted but not
yet published) with the pertinent year and volume number of the reference.
Work that is “submitted”
but not yet accepted should not be cited.
|
In
text. Cite
publications in text with author name and year. Three or more authors
use “et al.” In parenthetical citations, separate author and
year with a comma. Use suffixes a, b and c to separate publications in
same year by the same author. Semi-colons separate citations of different
authors. Cite two or more publications of different authors in chronological
sequence, from earliest to latest. For example:
|
- The starch granules are normally elongated in the
milk stage (Brown, 1956).
- Smith et al. (1994) reported growth on
vinasse.
- ...and work (Dawson and Briggs, 1984,1987) has shown
that . . .
- ...and work (Dawson, 1984; Briggs, 1999) has shown
that . . .
|
In
Literature Cited section. List only those literature cited
in the text. References should be listed alphabetically by the first author’s
last name. Single author precedes same author with co-authors. Type references
flush left as separate paragraphs. Do not indent manually. Write the names
of book and journal in bold letters. Let the text wrap with first line hanging
indented. Use the following format. |
- Journal articles: Author(s). Year. Article title. Journal title, volume number: inclusive
pages.
Example: Citation in text: (Smith et al., 1999)
Smith, J.B., L.B. Jones and K.R. Rackly. 1999.
Maillard browning in apples. J. Food Sci. 64 : 512-518.
- Books: Author(s) or editor(s). Year. Title. Publisher name. Place of publication.

Editorial
review and processing |
Peer
Review. All
submitted manuscripts are screened by the Scientific Editor for importance,
substance, appropriateness for the journal, general scientific quality,
and amount of new information provided. Those failing to meet current
standards are rejected without further review. Those meetings these initial
standards are sent to expert referees for peer review. Referees identities
are not disclosed to the author. Author identities are also not disclosed
to the referees. Referee comments are reviewed by an Associate Editor
and he/she, often after allowing the author to make changes in response
to the referee’s comments, advises the Scientific Editor to either accept
or reject the manuscript. The Scientific Editor informs the author of
the final decision. The review process ordinarily is completed within
3 months. If the process is delayed beyond that point, authors will be
notified.
Rejected
manuscripts. Rejected manuscripts
may, in some instances, be appropriate for publication in other journals.
Rejected manuscripts including original illustrations and photographs
will be returned to authors.
Accepted manuscripts. The author(s) will be asked
to review a copyedited pageproof. The author(s) is responsible for all
statements appearing in the galley proofs. The author will be informed
of the estimated date of publication.
Inquiries regarding status of the manuscript.
