As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

Pulse publishes papers in English and Thai.
Length
Articles should be between 3,500 and 4,000 words excluding endnotes and bibliography, or 15 to 20 pages of text
Supporting Media
We stronlgy encourage authors to take advantage of Pulse’s online format by incorporating audio recordings, videos, and images in their papers.
When submitting your manuscript, you should upload pictures directly to the journal's server. Each picture must be uploaded seperatly and clearly labelled. For larger format files ( audio & video ), we recommend providing links to streamable locations such as Soundcloud, Vimeo or YouTube. (those links will be embedded within the text for the online version of the journal )
To ensure the proper placement of media within your paper, please name each file according to the order in which it appears. For example, "figure 1," "audio sample 1," etc. The manuscript should include captions that clearly indicate the proper placement of these files.
Note that tables, unlike other forms of media, should be embedded directly in your manuscript.
Please note that you must obtain written permission to use any media that does not belong to you, unless it is in the public domain. All media that is not yours must be properly attributed. Please see Copyright Hub for more information.
Captions
Captions for all tables, pictures, video and audio links must be provided.
For example: “Audio recording 1. A seven-note scale used in Thai classical music played by the author on the saw duang.”
Abstract
Papers must include an abstract of 150-300 words.
Language Use
Italicize transliterations of all foreign words (ex. saw duang)
In English papers, please write the names of specific music genres and instruments in both the local and English or Thai alphabet the first time. Thereafter, use the English or Thai transliteration only (For example: “The saw duang (ซอด้วง) is a two-stringed instrument with a clear, high sound. In a traditional Thai string ensemble the saw duang player leads.”)
Quotations
Quotations that are shorter than five lines should appear in double quotation marks within the main body of the text.
Quotations that are longer than five lines should be blocked and appear without quotation marks. The entire block quote should be indented 0.5 inches and be the same size as the main text.
