Manuscript Submission

The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Permissions

Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate fromthe authors.

The cost of article publishing charges will be covered by the KSPE and so there are no publication fees for authors. An author’s personal copy of the article (in a PDF file) will be provided free of charge as well. Offprints of individual journal articles can be ordered upon request, at the author's expense. Please contact the Editorial Office for more information: ijpem.st@kspe.or.kr

After Acceptance

Copyright Transfer

Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.

Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs.

After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.

Online First

Authors will be fully accountable for all matters pertaining to the submitted manuscript. They shall comply with the regulation of Research and Publication Ethics of the KSPE. If they violate the regulation, Editor-in-Chief shall disapprove or cancel the publication of the article and take disciplinary action as according to the regulations. For the policies on the research and publication ethics not stated in this instruction, International standards for editors and authors (http://publicationethics.org/international-standards-editors-and-authors) can be applied.
