∎ Types of publications
Journals include research papers, reviews, technical notes, technical information, field reports, special features, and discussions associated with environmental engineering. The manuscripts must not be presented or published in other academic journals and publications before submitting to this journal. In general, the main article types are as follows:
If the affiliations of the authors are different, authors with different affiliations from the first author should be marked with a superscript numeral designation on the upper right of the researchers’ names. The primary author is the first author and the corresponding authors are marked with a symbol † on the upper right of the names. 2) The manuscript should be assigned in the following sequence: Cover page, extended abstract in English, extended abstract in Korean (for Korean manuscripts), introduction, methods (or materials and methods), results, discussion (or results and discussion), conclusions, acknowledgements, explanation of abbreviations, references, tables, and figures. 3) Extended abstract in Korean (may be omitted if an English paper is prepared) and English should provide the objectives, methods, results and discussion, and conclusions within one and half pages. However, abstracts in Korean and English may be omitted for special features, technical notes, technical information, and field reports. 4) The body of the article (introduction to conclusion) should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, as shown in the example below. e.g.) 1, 2, 3, ……, 1.1, 1.2, ……, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ……, (1), (2), (3), …… 5) The utilization of the SI system is recommended; yet, the C.G.S.system can also be used for a widely utilized concentration unit, such as mg/L. ∎ Authorship 1) An author should meet the following criteria for authorship:
Authors should declare competing interests. A competing interest (or ‘A conflict of interest’) may be a financial, commercial, legal, or professional relationship. ∎ Similarity check The Editorial Board may check the similarity of submitted manuscripts and reject those with high similarity. ∎ Manuscript format 1) Manuscripts can be written in either Korean or English. 2) Manuscripts should be written in A4 (210×297mm) using a word processor (.doc, .hwp). The number of pages in the manuscripts is not limited, but should be within a range of 8 pages (one-sided) of the printing pages (2 pages of a manuscript with font 11 and 200% space are approximately 1 page of printing page, without tables and figures). Manuscripts can be changed for authors' conveniences. 3) Technical note and technical report shall not exceed 4 printed pages including all tables and figures. ∎ Tables and figures preparation 1) Titles and footnotes of tables and figures should be written in English and include sufficient information without referring to the text. They should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (e.g.: Table 1, Table 2, Fig. 1, Fig. 2). All tables and figures should be placed on separate pages at the end. In addition, the locations of tables and figures should be notified in the text as well. 2) The first letter of the title in a table should be capitalized. Use end punctuation for table titles. e.g.) Table 1. Effect of temperature on BOD removal efficiency. 3) The first letter of the title in a figure should be capitalized. Use end punctuation for figure titles. e.g.) Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of experimental set-up used for biological wastewater treatment. ∎ Reference style 1) References should be indicated by number(s) in superscripts in line with the text. (e.g.: ...are in agreement in the results1,3). Kim and Lee5) ) References should be listed in the following format in general. Number, authors, article title, journal title, book title, edition, publisher name, place of publication, issue (volume), and pages (year of publication) 2) For journal articles, e.g.)
e.g.)
4) For Books, e.g.)
5) For chapters in a book, e.g.)
6) For chapters in a book, e.g.)
7) The abbreviations of the periodic prints should be based on the Chemical Abstract for English. ∎ Submission All submissions to this journal proceed electronically via the submission page of this journal (http://submission.kosenv.or.kr). ∎ Peer Review 1) Manuscripts are sent for external blind review to experts in the field. The Editorial Board performs manuscript reviews and decide whether or not to accept manuscripts, publication orders, and printing systems for manuscripts published in the journal. The Editorial Board can request revisions without making major changes to the content of the manuscripts, if necessary, based upon the specified regulations for manuscript reviews. 2) When the Editorial Board requests manuscript revision, authors must submit revised manuscript and reviewer comments form within provided period. If revised manuscript cannot be submitted within provided period, authors must request for extension to the Editorial Board. If the manuscript is not received in time without any request of date extension, review will no longer be proceeded. ∎ Copyright The Editorial Board possesses the copyright of all manuscripts published in the journals, and the corresponding author must submit consent prior to publication. ∎ Open access policy Journal of the Korean Society of Environmental Engineers is an open access journal.

There are no article processing charges for English articles. For Korean articles, the journal charges submission and printing fees; 1. The review charges of Korean research papers and review papers are 60,000 won. 2. Printing charges are 15,000 won per page for all Korean manuscripts. However, per each page starting from the 7th page, a fee of 30,000 won per page is charged. 3.

However, urgent review charges are not refundable when the delay is a result of making more than 2 revisions due to poor quality of formatting and content. ∎ Archiving policy Full text of Journal of the Korean Society of Environmental Engineers has been archived in ScienceCentral from the first issue of Volume 39, 2017.
