The journal utilizes blind peer-review in evaluating manuscripts for publication. Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two referees, and decisions will be available in approximately one months. With respect to the revision and resubmission of manuscripts, it is the journal's policy to allow a couple of resubmission only, which should be received within 2 months from the time of receipt of the initial review letter. In general, a manuscript requiring more than a couple of revision or returned beyond 2 months will be handled as a new submission. The journal does not have article submission charges. Only when the articles are accepted for publication, domestic corresponding authors are charged for their original articles, brief communications and clinical case reports, which is 6,000 Won (Korean Currency) per page. Page charge is waived for international contributors (corresponding author from outside of Korea), and is reimbursed for domestic contributors.
