Thammasat University Announcement · 24 September 2026

The Graduate Program, Faculty of Economics, Thammasat University, shares the University's announcement warning students to beware of individuals and groups that offer to arrange publication of academic work for a fee or act as intermediaries.

What has been found?

The University has found services on social media, particularly the Facebook group "Academic Journal Publication Group," arranging publication for a fee or as intermediaries, including securing publication venues and letters of acceptance for use in graduation applications.

It has happened before

Students hired outside parties and submitted counterfeit letters of acceptance, not issued by the editors or journals, as evidence for graduation.

The University Council revoked the approval of their degrees and took disciplinary action.

Risks of hiring others

Fraud Counterfeit documents Graduation affected Disciplinary action Legal liability

The University requests that students

1 Carry out publication or dissemination of their work themselves
2 Verify the authenticity of the publication venue
3 Verify all evidence of acceptance at every stage
