    ③ Reviewers shall conduct a detailed and comprehensive review of submitted papers based on the following criteria:

    • Appropriateness and originality of research topic

⑥ Review results must be notified to the submitting author within one week of review completion. ⑦ The Editor-in-Chief may request revisions to the manuscript based on review results, and authors who receive decisions of 'Minor Revision' or 'Major Revision' must submit revised manuscripts by the specified date.

  • Authors who receive a final decision of 'Accept' must submit their final manuscript within the deadline. Failure to submit the final manuscript by the deadline will be considered as withdrawal of publication.
  • Authors who receive a final decision of 'Minor Revision' must submit their revised manuscript along with a response letter addressing each reviewer comment, and may be subject to additional revisions as requested by the Editorial Committee.
  • Authors who receive a final decision of 'Major Revision' must submit their revised manuscript along with a response letter addressing each reviewer comment. Except in cases where reviewers decline, the manuscript will be re-reviewed by the same three original reviewers.
  • If the final decision after re-review is 'Major Revision', the Editorial Committee will make a final decision of 'Reject'.

⑧ The Editorial Committee may reject manuscripts that violate the Institute's journal publication guidelines, manuscript submission guidelines, or research ethics guidelines, and manuscripts showing a similarity rate of 15% or higher in plagiarism detection cannot be published in the journal.

⑨ Manuscripts that receive a decision of 'Reject' may be resubmitted for the next issue after incorporating the review feedback. ⑩ Even for manuscripts that receive a final decision of 'Accept', the Editorial Committee may request additional revisions based on reviewer comments, and may postpone publication to a subsequent issue if final manuscript submission is delayed or additional revisions are deemed necessary.

Article 8 (Appeals Against Review Results)

① If authors have objections to review results and decisions of non-acceptance, they may request a re-review from the Editorial Committee.

② If the Editor-in-Chief determines there are valid grounds for appeal, they shall appoint new reviewers who did not participate in the original review to conduct a re-review, and no further appeals may be made against this decision. No additional review fees will be charged for such re-reviews.

Article 10 (General Operations)

① For confirmed issues, online and offline publication materials must follow the management standards for serials with International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSN), updating issue publication information and assigning additional codes, and must be submitted to the National Library of Korea along with online and offline posting.

② Journal reprints are not provided separately; the final edited PDF file will be provided. ③ Expedited reviews such as shortening the manuscript review period or submissions that do not follow the journal's operational schedule are not permitted, and manuscripts that exceed the publication review schedule due to delayed reviews or re-reviews may be transferred to the next issue. If revision submission deadlines are not met, a decision of 'Reject' may be issued through internal re-review.
