Manuscript Preparation

JCN accepts double column FULL papers without page limits that follow the standard of JCN (or similar IEEE) publication format. however, we strongly recommend keeping the page count under 20 pages in double columns for ease of readability. (The new rule for page limit takes effect for papers submitted after October 9, 2020).

Introductory discussion should be kept to a minimum and material published elsewhere should be referenced, not reproduced. Material not essential to the continuity of the text should be placed in Appendices.

Formulas must be numbered. Figures must be numbered and referred to in the text, with captions typed on separate sheets in the same format as the main text. Tables must be numbered and referred to in the text. Each table, with caption, must be typed on a separate sheet. References must be numbered in the order of occurrence and referred to in the text by bracketed numbers. The list of references must be typed on separate sheets, in the same format as the main text, and ordered consecutively. Each reference item should include the author(s), title, journal name, volume, number, pages, month, year, and publisher, as applicable.

Peer Review Process

JCN reviews all manuscripts received. A manuscript is first reviewed for its format and adherence to the aims and scope of the journal. If the manuscript meets these two criteria, it is dispatched to three investigators in the field with relevant knowledge. Assuming the manuscript is sent to reviewers, JCN waits to receive opinions from at least two reviewers. In addition, if deemed necessary, a review of statistics may be requested. The acceptance criteria for all papers are based on the quality and originality of the research and its scientific significance. Acceptance of the manuscript is decided based on the critiques and recommended decision of the reviewers. An initial decision will normally be made within 2-3 months of receipt of a manuscript, and the reviewers’ comments are sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. The corresponding author must indicate the alterations that have been made in response to the reviewers’ comments item by item. A final decision on acceptance/rejection for publication is forwarded to the corresponding author from the editor.

All manuscripts from editors, employees, or members of the editorial board are processed same to other unsolicited manuscripts. During the review process, submitters will not engage in the decision process. Editors will not handle their own manuscripts although they are commissioned ones.

The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual (https://pspb.ieee.org/images/files/files/opsmanual.pdf). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

The article processing charge (APC) is $1,300 per article (plus applicable local taxes) without page limits. (The new rule for APC and page limit takes effect for papers submitted after October 9, 2020)

For the papers submitted before October 8, 2020, the author will be requested to pay a mandatory page charge of $90 per printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. For papers in excess of six printed pages, a mandatory page charge of $150 per printed page will be requested for the printed pages beyond six pages. Detailed instructions will accompany the payment request.

Publishing and Manuscript Ethics Bylaw of KICS

Article 1 (Purpose): The purpose of these bylaws is to present principles for the roles and responsibilities of a researcher who submits a manuscript on his/her research results for publication to conference proceedings and academic journals which are published by the Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences (hereafter referred to as the Society) so that integrity of the concerned manuscript can be identified clearly.
Article 2 (Scope of Application): These bylaws shall be applied to the manuscripts to be submitted to or to be published in the academic journals published by the Society and to the manuscripts to be submitted to or to be presented at the academic conferences organized by the Society.
Article 3 (Definition of Terms): 1. Forgery: The act of forging research results.; 2. Falsification: The act of fabricating materials, equipment, processes, etc. of experiments or the act of changing or omitting research results in a false manner.; 3. Distortion: The act of drawing wrong conclusions by exaggerating or reducing a part of the relevant data.; 4. Plagiarism: The act of using - as is or in a changed form - all or part of another person’s research results without identifying the source or using all or part of the key concepts of another person’s research results without identifying the source.; 5. Self-plagiarism: The act of using - as is or in a changed form - all or part of one’s own research results already published, without identifying the source.; 6. Overlapping submission: The act of submitting substantial content overlapping with one’s own paper already submitted or published.
Article 4 (Authorship): 1. The author of a manuscript refers to the one who has contributed to the completion of the manuscript by planning and executing the research and analyzing the research results.; 2. The corresponding author refers to the one who takes charge of the entire process of submitting the manuscript, and he/she should obtain approval of all co-authors in such matters, such as inclusion of co-authors, submission of the manuscript and revision of the manuscript.
Article 5 (Submission of Manuscript): 1. The manuscript to be submitted to the Society’s academic journals or academic conferences should include new findings or views, new interpretations of existing studies or developmental understanding of existing studies.; 2. The research results in the manuscript to be submitted to the Society’s academic journals or academic conferences should not be forged, fabricated or distorted.; 3. In the case of quoting another person’s research results, the source should be identified without exemption.; 4. In the case of using figures, tables, sentences or major conclusions from one’s own research results already published, they should be identified as quotes without exemption. Also, all related or similar manuscripts in the course of submission, reviewing or publication (including those in other languages) should be identified.; 5. Submission to the Society’s academic journals is allowable in the following cases:; a) It is possible to develop in a meaningful way a manuscript already presented at an academic conference organized by the Society or other domestic or international academic societies, for submission to one of the Society's academic journals. However, the manuscript already presented at the academic conference should be quoted without fail, and any meaningful development made to the submitted manuscript should be identified. In case of only an abstract was presented at a previous academic conference, submission of the concerned manuscript to one of the Society's academic journals is also possible, if this fact should be announced without fail.; b) In the case of submitting a manuscript that includes translations of all or part of a paper by the same authors presented in other language at other journal or other academic conference, submission is allowed if there is a noticeable difference between the readers of the other journal and those of the Society’s academic journal or between the participants of the other academic conference and those of the Society’s academic conference. However, the paper in other language should be an already published one, and also should be quoted or identified at the time of submission. As for translating and using contents of the existing paper, the author should take charge of the process.
Article 6 (Handing of Ethics Violations): 1. In case questions of unethical act such as forgery, falsification, distortion, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and overlapping submission are raised against the manuscript presented at or published by the Society, the vice president in charge of academic affairs shall organize an investigating committee consisting of six members or less including the editor-in-chief in charge of the concerned paper and the concerned executive director, within two weeks. The vice president in charge of academic affairs shall become the chairman of the investigating committee (hereafter referred to as the Chairman).; 2. The Chairman shall send a letter of inquiry on unethical acts (with regard to the concerned manuscript) to all authors of the concerned manuscript, within two weeks from the organization of the investigating committee, and demand them to submit individually a written explanation within two weeks. Upon receiving the letters of explanation, the Chairman shall convene a meeting of the investigating committee to review the explanation by the authors of the concerned manuscript within two weeks. In case unethical acts are recognized at the meeting, the committee shall determine the contents of the unethical acts, and make a decision on disciplinary action by selecting one among “severe reprimand” and “reprimand” and “warning”, in accordance with the gravity of the unethical act.; 3. The Chairman shall report the investigating committee’s judgment and decision on the unethical acts (with regards to the concerned manuscript) to the president of the Society, who shall refer the case to the Society’s board of directors. After the board’s voting on the final decision regarding the unethical acts, the president of the Society shall take the following steps:; a) Warning - All authors of the concerned manuscript shall be notified of this fact and the already published manuscript shall be invalidated. A warning shall be given so that the authors should take caution in writing manuscripts in the future.; b) Reprimand - All authors of the concerned manuscript shall be notified of this fact and the already published manuscript shall be invalidated. Also, the fact of plagiarism and the resultant deletion shall be posted on the Society’s website for one month and announced in the concerned journal. Also, all the manuscripts of the authors found guilty of misconduct currently under review by the Society or waiting to be published in the Society’s publications shall be disqualified. In addition, all the authors found guilty of misconduct of the concerned manuscript shall be disqualified in submitting manuscripts to the Society for the coming 12 months.; c) Severe Reprimand - This fact shall be notified to all the authors of the concerned manuscript and to the department head of the affiliated institution of the authors found guilty of misconduct as well. Also, the already published manuscript shall be invalidated and the fact of plagiarism and the resultant deletion shall be posted on the Society’s website for 3 months and announced in the concerned journal. Also, all the manuscripts of the authors found guilty of misconduct currently under review by the Society or waiting to be published in the Society’s publications shall be disqualified.
