Articles
The Journal of International Buddhist Studies (JIBS) is issued twice a year by the Buddhist Research Institute at Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University in June and December. The Journal includes scholarly articles within the expansive realm of Buddhist Studies. Its purpose is to encourage discussion and the exchange of ideas among Buddhist scholars and practitioners globally. JIBS functions as a medium for sharing innovative and significant research, enhancing academic rigor, and offering original contributions in the field of Buddhist Studies. A committee of experts in relevant disciplines will evaluate all submitted manuscripts. The editorial board retains the authority to suggest necessary revisions before granting final approval for publication. Contributions to JIBS should range from 5,000 to 8,000 words and adhere to international standards of academic excellence, providing new insights and information in Buddhist Studies.

Artificial Intelligence(AI) Policy:
Authors are required to declare in the cover letter accompanying their submission if AI was used in the preparation of their article. Generative AI that creates content is the primary editorial concern. Overreliance on AI or uncritical use of such information may result in submission rejection. If AI is used solely to edit or improve language usage issues, which may prove especially helpful for non-native English authors, this also must be declared in the cover letter. Any manipulation or generation of images or other media using AI similarly must be declared. JIBS reserves the right to use AI and anti-plagiarism detector software to insure high-level academic standards within shifting technological contexts. The remaining AI questions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis in the editorial process as necessary.
