Journal Web Page Comments: Production and hosting by Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute(KURDI) on behalf of Kasetsart University. Peer review under responsibility of Kasetsart University. The review process ordinarily is completed within 4-7 months. If the process is delayed beyond that point, the corresponding author will be notified.

Handbook comments: The journal had some of the most extensive pre and post-acceptance editing we have ever seen. Also, KJSS was and still is renowned for their highly structured submission process and documentation support. For a year or so they were also under the Elsevier umbrella, but then suddenly withdrew back to being an independent university journal. 

Also, even though APA Edition 7 has been out since October 2019, the very long KJSS style guide PDF specifically states they are using APA Edition 6 in April 2021. A little behind the times we would say. Finally, KJSS places a very strict 15 page limitation on author manuscripts, which is double-spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman. Using these constraints, it is nearly impossible to submit a paper other than a short RESEARCH BRIEF. Full RESEARCH ARTICLES (RA) including the expected theory development, associated references and tables exceeds these limitations significantly. Therefore, if you need to publish a full RA which meets your doctoral or faculty requirements, you need to find another journal.

It is also difficult to understand why on the journal's home page there is a prominent link button to Elsevier's front door. If you click on it and search for KJSS, an image for the journal comes up but clicking on the link gets the following response:
