About the Journal

Lao Science Journal (LSJ) aims to strengthen the role of research in these areas and provide a platform for the exchange of ideas between researchers and policymakers. Contributions should relate to science, technology, and innovation. The journal offers an opportunity for researchers, professionals, and graduate students to share innovative work.

All articles must be written in English. Submitted manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two independent experts in relevant fields. The journal strictly prohibits publishing articles that have been previously published or are under review elsewhere. Authors must adhere to the LSJ Author Guidelines and Publishing Ethics (only English language journal).

The views and opinions expressed in published papers are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the editors or the Center for Scientific Journal Promotion, National University of Laos.

Open Access Policy
The LSJ journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Article Processing Charge (APC)
Starting January 1, 2025, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 150 will be applied to all accepted articles submitted on or after this date. This charge is intended to cover costs associated with peer review, publishing, archival maintenance, and journal operations.
Once a manuscript has successfully passed the peer review process and received acceptance from the LSJ chief editor, the corresponding author will be issued an invoice for the APC. The payment must be completed within one week of receiving the invoice to ensure timely publication and avoid potential retraction of the manuscript.
Once a manuscript has passed peer review and been accepted for publication by the LSJ chief editor, the corresponding author will receive an invoice for the APC. The fee must be paid within one week of receiving the invoice to ensure timely publication and prevent any retraction of the manuscript.
It is important to note that the APC does not include language editing services. Authors are encouraged to seek their own editing services to ensure their manuscripts meet the journal's academic language standards. However, the journal can offer language editing services upon request at a rate of USD 10 per page, with additional fees applied for more extensive editing.
