Integrating "Sustainability Relevance" into ALPS Publication Criteria

2026-09-05

The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls upon the global community to “recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.”

As an academic institution and a responsible member of the global community, the Association of Legal & Political Studies (ALPS) is deeply committed to advancing these UN goals and indicators. Consequently, we are officially establishing "Sustainability Relevance" as a core quality evaluation criterion for all our publications.

Moving forward, every article published across all ALPS journals must explicitly address issues related to sustainable development and contribute to a more sustainable future.

We strongly encourage all prospective authors to review the targets, indicators, and implementation progress of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at https://sdgs.un.org/goals before submission. Aligning your research with these frameworks will help ensure your manuscript meets our evaluation standards and supports the 2030 Agenda toward global realization.

Thai Arts and Culture Review (TACR) is an open-access, peer-reviewed electronic journal published biannually in Thai and English. The journal is published by the Association of Legal & Political Studies (Thailand) and White Tiger Legal, Business and Research Consultants Co., Ltd. (Thailand), in collaboration with the Institut Agama Islam Rawa Aopa Konawe Selatan (Indonesia). It offers a scholarly platform for rigorous, interdisciplinary research on arts and culture in their broadest sense, emphasizing their regional and global interconnectedness. TACR welcomes submissions that explore all facets of arts and culture, providing a forum for innovative, critical, and comprehensive scholarly work. The journal particularly invites articles on visual arts—from studio art to architecture and performing arts—as well as cultural practices, theories, policies, and other elements integral to cultural identity, including philosophy, religion, and language. It encourages works that engage with contemporary and traditional issues, addressing their social impacts, policy implications, and cultural dynamics within Thailand and the wider region. All manuscripts are subjected to a transparent, open peer-review process involving at least two expert reviewers to ensure high academic standards. TACR aims to foster critical dialogue, contribute to the preservation and revitalization of Thailand’s rich cultural heritage, and promote a deeper understanding of arts and culture in a globalized world.
