Important Announcement: Strategic Transition to an Elite Publication Model (2027)

2026-04-21

As the Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies (IJIS) continues to evolve as a premier destination for global scholarship, the Editorial Board is pleased to announce a major strategic shift in our publication model, effective for all publications targeted for Volume 9, Issue 1 (January 2027) and beyond.

Notice on Current Submissions: Please be advised that these changes apply to all manuscripts currently under consideration, in the peer-review pipeline, or awaiting production for the 2027 cycle. Acceptance into the journal will be governed by the new exclusivity caps and revised APC rates.

Key Strategic Changes

1. Significant Reduction in Publication Volume To ensure the highest level of editorial rigour and to maximise the visibility of every published work, we are reducing our publication volume by over 51%.

Issue-Level Cap: We are moving from a maximum of 90 articles per issue to a strict cap of 44 articles.
Annual Ceiling: Our total annual output is now capped at 88 elite articles per year (down from 180). This reduction ensures that only the most impactful research clears our selection process, directly supporting our trajectory back to a Q1 ranking.

2. Article Processing Charge (APC) Adjustment To support this more intensive editorial process, the APC is being adjusted. This move represents a 34% adjustment in USD, allowing for enhanced technical copyediting, metadata management, and permanent digital archiving.

New APC: £1,650 / $2,000 (net of all bank charges).
Transparency: This single fee remains our sole revenue source, ensuring the journal remains free of advertisements and institutional bias.

3. Enhanced Originality and AI Policy In line with global standards (COPE and Elsevier), we are moving to a model of Human Accountability.

We have replaced rigid AI detection scores with a Mandatory Disclosure policy.
Authors bear full legal and ethical responsibility for the accuracy of their content.
Our strict 20% similarity threshold for plagiarism remains in force to protect the integrity of the scholarly record.

Our Vision for the Future

These changes represent a bold investment in the prestige of your research. By choosing to publish with Ianna, you are joining an exclusive cohort of scholars in a journal that prioritises quality over quantity.

Dr Gever Verlumun Celestine Editor-in-Chief,

Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Top 2% Scientist Worldwide (Stanford/Elsevier)

OLDER JOURNAL INSTRUCTIONS:

An article processing charge of £1075 applies to accepted manuscripts. There is no submission fee. APC is the journal’s only source of revenue.

Thailand growth and tourism statistics

Tourism from Gulf countries, she said, fell to close to zero in March, as attacks from Iran closed regional airports. Those numbers have yet to fully rebound, and their wealthy visitors typically account ⁠for 7% of total tourism spending in Thailand.

Thailand is expected to record the slowest economic growth in ASEAN in 2026 after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its forecast to 1.5%, down from 1.6% projected in January. The downgrade, reported today, April 17, places Thailand behind its regional peers, including Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.

The IMF said Vietnam is expected to lead the region with 7.1% growth, followed by Indonesia at 5%, Malaysia at 4.7%, the Philippines at 4.1% and Singapore at 3.5%. Cambodia and Laos are each forecast to grow by around 4%, while Myanmar is projected at 3%.

The new Thailand economy forecast came as the IMF cut its 2026 global growth forecast to 3.1% from 3.3% earlier this year.

Ekniti said Thailand still faced long-running problems, especially weak investment. He said the government wanted to speed up spending on infrastructure, digital technology and AI, while changing regulations and improving workforce skills to support stronger long-term growth.

On energy and geopolitical risks, he presented a “4T” framework consisting of Target, Transition, Transformation and Together. The approach includes targeted support measures, a faster shift to clean energy, broader economic restructuring and cooperation across sectors.

Michelin Guide Thailand

According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, foreign tourists spent an additional 3.18 billion baht on food and dining during the eight-year Michelin Guide Thailand programme between 2018 and 2025.

The agency invested roughly 27 million baht per year, or 216.4 million baht over eight years, in bringing the guidebook to Thailand, generating a 14.7-fold return on the initial investment.

Last year, around 3.46 million foreign visitors dined at Michelin-listed restaurants in Thailand. About 468 restaurants were listed in the Michelin Guide in 2026.
