Small contributions to research or writing (translation) are properly appreciated in footnotes, preferences, and private affairs.

(3) Duplicate publication or publication of research works;

(4) Citation and reference marking

A. When quoting published academic data, he/she shall endeavor to accurately describe it, and shall clearly state the source unless it belongs to common sense.

B. If you quote someone else's writing or borrow (reference) other people's ideas, you must state whether they are cited or referenced in footnotes, which allow the reader to know where they are the result of prior research and where they are original ideas, arguments, or interpretations.

(5) Modification of the thesis

2) Ethical regulations to be followed by editorial members

A. Editorial members shall be fully responsible for determining whether to publish the contributed papers and shall respect the author's personality and independence as a scholar.

B. Editor-in-chief shall treat papers contributed for publication of academic journals solely based on the quality level and contribution regulations of the paper, regardless of the author's gender, age, or agency, as well as any preconceptions or personal acquaintance.

C. The editorial member shall request the evaluation of the contributed papers to the judges with professional knowledge and fair judgment in the relevant field. When requesting an examination, he/she shall endeavor to ensure that an objective evaluation is made as much as possible by avoiding judges who are too close to the author or too hostile. Provided, That where the evaluation of the same paper differs significantly among the judges, he/she may be consulted by a third-party expert in the relevant field.

The Examiner shall faithfully evaluate the paper requested by the Editorial Committee of the Journal (Council) within the period prescribed by the Examination Regulations and notify the Editorial Committee (Council) of the results of the evaluation. If it is deemed that he is not the right person to evaluate the content of the paper, the editorial member (Council) shall be notified without delay.

B. The reviewer should evaluate the paper fairly based on objective standards, regardless of personal academic beliefs or personal relationships with the author. The paper should not be eliminated without sufficient evidence, or the paper should not be eliminated because it conflicts with the reviewer's own point of view or interpretation, nor should the paper be evaluated without reading it properly.

C. The examiner shall respect the character and independence of the author as a professional intellectual. In the evaluation opinion, you should clarify your judgment on the paper, but explain in detail why you think it is necessary to supplement it. Use polite and gentle expressions as much as possible, and refrain from disparaging or insulting the author.

D. Judges shall keep confidential information about the papers subject to examination.
