----------------------- CDMH Journal’s Guideline -----------------------

F

Journal scope
               The International Journal of Child Development and Mental Health, which is published twice a year, encourages Thai and International scholars, health providers, researchers, and child and mental health development specialists to publish scholarly articles which include original review articles, case studies, case reports, invited review articles, preliminary reports, miscellany and systemic reviews on child development and mental health.

Objective
               The main aim of the CDMH Journal is to publish scholarly articles which include original and review articles, case studies, case reports, and systemic reviews. Scholars from disciplines serving child development or mental health are encouraged to submit their papers for review by medical experts in its field for consideration for publication based off the article’s content and adherence to professional standards and best practice.

Peer Review Process
               Submitted articles must undergo a preliminary review by the Editorial Team before submission for scrupulous consideration. If the article is declined, the author may opt to revise its content based on the initial comments provided. Accepted articles for review are evaluated by the Editorial Team based on their content, methodology, and data analysis procedures. All accepted manuscripts must be peer-reviewed by at least 3 external reviewers prior to publishing. Comments and recommendations are forwarded to the author for compliance. Likewise, the author is advised to follow the APA format in citing references.

Publication Frequency
               The CDMH Journal is published bi-annually on June and December (ISSN Print 2286-7281, ISSN Online 2586-887X) by Rajanagarindra Institute of Child Development, Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. This is an Open Access Journal, and all articles are immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download upon publication.

Ethics policy
               Regarding Ethics on Writing Articles: All authors must submit original, non-plagiarized research articles. Thus, proper use of citations or quotations is strictly observed by the Editorial Board. Regarding Plagiarism: The authors will ensure that they have written their articles based on their own research or data. If the authors have used the work, text, or information of another researcher, it should be quoted or cited appropriately.

               The CDMH Journal analyzes each submission for plagiarism using the CopyCatch system provided by ThaiJo. In cases of the use of human or animal subjects, appropriate approval from the respective institution’s ethics board must be secured, the researcher shall state that the procedures performed in their research involving humans or animals were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institution or research committee and clearly documented in the paper to the publisher. Likewise, the use of graphics and photographs that will breach subject anonymity/ confidentiality must be accompanied by ethics document approval and/or informed consent. Regarding Informed Consent: To be included in the research or study, informed consent must be obtained from all individual participants or by parental/legal guardians or by animal owners. Use of patient images or case details requires prior approval and/or informed consent before they can be published.  

Manuscript Submission      
               Details of the submission and review process can be found at https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/cdmh. The editor and editorial board oversee manuscript reviews. Once a manuscript is submitted, an editor is assigned to make the peer reviewer assignments following the double-blind peer review process by at least three experts. The entire process typically takes about 3 months and revisions are frequently needed. Corresponding authors who require assistance in submitting their manuscripts should contact the Editorial Office via the website, https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/cdmh or e-mail, cdmhjournalricd2015@gmail.com

               Abstracts and manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the instructions provided, including formatting of tables, figures, references and metrics. The editor is responsible for obtaining reviews and deciding on the disposition of all manuscripts (acceptance, rejection, or requests for revision). *[Reminder: It is important that all articles have never been previously published elsewhere or submitted to other medical journals at the time of submission, must not be copyrighted by any other journal; and please inform the editor if you received NIH funding support and/or plan to submit your article into PubMed (PMC)]

  1. Fast Track – Approx. 5-8 weeks from submission date to online publication

APA reference 7th edition:
APA referencing style is an author-date referencing system published by the American Psychological Association. This form of writing research papers is used mainly in the social sciences, like psychology, anthropology, sociology, as well as education and other fields.

There are two components in the APA referencing style: in-text citations and their corresponding reference list entries. With anything that you have read, used and referred to in your academic writing, you must:

  • acknowledge in text (i.e. in the work / assignment/ essay you are writing)
  • include in your reference list (i.e. the list at the end of your work of all the sources you refer to)

This guide has been modified to reflect updates to the APA referencing style published in the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2020).

  • Multiple authors - in text citations for three or more authors should include the name of the first author only, followed by et al. Reference list entries for works by up to and including 20 authors should include all authors’ names. For works by more than 20 authors, include the names of the first 19 authors followed by an ellipsis (...) and then the final author's name.
  • Place of publication is no longer included in references.
  • Include the issue number in parentheses immediately after the volume number, for all journals that have an issue number.
  • DOIs are now given in the following format: https://doi.org/xxxxx
  • It is not necessary to include the words "Retrieved from" before a URL.
  • Database names and URLs for items in academic research databases should not be included in references, except for databases such as Cochrane, ERIC and Factiva that include works of limited circulation - for these items include the name of the database and the URL for the specific work.
  • For electronic works that do not have a DOI or a directly linking URL, the reference should be the same as the reference for a printed version of the work.

See all examples for details on how to construct references for specific resources such as books, journals and web pages.
