Resolution of graphics files must be at least 300 dpi for halftones, 600 dpi for lettering, and 1200 dpi for line art.

A paper copy of a manuscript may be submitted under some circumstances when electronic submission is not available.

(3) Title
The title should be both brief and descriptive. Introductory words, such as “On,” “Observations on,” “Some,” and “Study of” are to be avoided.

(4) Authors' Names and Affiliations
Authors' first and last names should be provided in the following order: given name, middle name or initial, family name. Corresponding author should be marked by ‘*’ and his/her e-mail address, phone number and fax number be provided. Membership of authors in the Society should be indicated in a footnote.

The affiliations of the authors at the time the work was performed should be presented with the institution and department names (if applicable) presented in full, with the city, state/ prefecture/province, postal code, and country. Do not include local address information, such as street name, on the manuscript; however, this information should be included in the online submission form or cover letter.

If authors' current or permanent affiliations are different from the above, this should be explained in a footnote.

(5) Abstract
An abstract not exceeding 200 words must be provided with each paper. Preferably, the abstract will be of the informative type, presenting a condensed version of the information in the paper. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research (unless given in the title), new or unusual techniques used in the experimental procedure, and significant results.
Five or less key words of the manuscript must be provided following the abstract section.

(6) Text Sections
The text of each paper should be divided into three or more sections. Typical section titles are as follows:

The background and context of a paper should be presented in an Introduction, and the main points of the paper should be reiterated in the Conclusions or Summary section.

Sections can be divided into two or more subsections. The titles of subsections should be brief, and the subsections should reflect an organized breakdown of the section subject. Subsection titles should be as brief as clarity permits and should be parallel in structure.

All text should be formatted double-spaced.

(7) Acknowledgment and Support
If the author wishes to acknowledge support, a brief Acknowledgment section may be presented immediately preceding the Reference section.

(8) Manufacturers
Manufacturer-specific information regarding materials or equipment used in the work should be included in parentheses following the generic name for the material or equipment, for example, “. . . microscope (Model 123, Wabash Instruments, Center City, IN).”

(9) References
A Reference section should follow the text. References should be listed in the order in which they appear in the paper. Complete information is essential. References to periodical papers must include (as applicable) the authors' names, periodical title, volume number, page, and year of publication. Book references should include (as applicable) authors' names, book title, page, publisher's name and location, and year of publication. Papers from proceedings should include the location and date of the relevant meeting, as well as the name and location of the publisher and the year of publication.
Formats of typical references are as follows:

All references should be typed double-spaced.

(10) Tables
Tables should be presented on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. The title should be as concise as possible, similar to a section title; explanatory information should be presented as table footnotes. Column headings also should be concise, but understandable. Units of measurements, where applicable, should be presented as SI units in parentheses.

(11) Figure Captions
Captions of all figures should be grouped in a single list after the Reference section. The captions should be formatted double-spaced. This grouping of captions is in addition to the presentation of each individual caption with its appropriate figure.

(12) Figures
Each figure submitted must be clearly identified with a figure number and caption. It is best to prepare and submit graphics in the final size that they will appear on the journal page.

Spelling in figures should be checked carefully, because figures are not normally corrected or redrawn before publication. As in text, only SI units of measurement should be used.

For online submissions, figure files must be clearly identified with a figure number. Resolution of graphics files must be at least 300 dpi for halftones (photographs and micrographs), 600 dpi for lettering, and 1200 dpi for line art. Figures embedded in text are acceptable for review purposes only. Multipanel figures (figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) should be assembled into one piece and be submitted as one file. File compression is recommended in order to reduce loading times and error messages when submitting digital files.

For mail submissions, photographs and line drawings nominally smaller than 8 1/2 in. x 11 in. must be mounted on paper similar in size to that of the manuscript. If figures are embedded in the text, separate originals are required. One set of original micrographs should be sent as glossy, high-contrast, black and white originals.

III. Style

(1) General
Authors are expected to follow generally accepted rules of grammar and punctuation. Abbreviations may be used, but they must be defined the first time they are used.

Terminology should be used consistently. Either a formula or a chemical name can be used for a substance, but it should be used throughout the paper.

(2) SI Units
The Society insists on the use of metric units of measurement, specifically SI units, in the Journal. English or other non-metric units may appear in a paper, but they should appear only in parentheses following the SI units, e.g., 32 mm (1.25 in.).

(3) Mathematical Expressions
All mathematical expressions should be presented in a clear and unambiguous manner. Every symbol must be defined, and care should be taken to avoid multiple meanings for the same symbol.
Very large and very small numbers should be expressed in scientific notation, e.g., 3.62 x l09 and 3.62 x 10-9.

IV. Submission, Review, and Publishing

(1) General Submission Guidelines
Authors are asked to submit manuscripts electronically to KIDS: kids2@k-ids.or.kr.
Contact information for the author, including an E-mail address, fax number, and telephone number, must be provided with all submissions.

(2) Submit Manuscript by MAIL
All submissions should be sent to kids2@k-ids.or.kr

(3) Review
The review system assigns a manuscript number, forwards the manuscript to the Journal staff, and sends an E-mail letter to the paper's author acknowledging receipt of the manuscript. The Journal staff electronically forwards the manuscript electronic file (PDF) to the Journal Editor. For articles, the Journal Editor compiles a short list of reviewer candidates, from which two are selected, and forwards the manuscript PDF file to each of them. The Editor selects the reviewers primarily from the editorial board members of KIDS or may invite experts in the area of interests. The reviewers send their comments to the Editor. The Journal Editor then decides whether the article will be accepted as is, rejected, accepted with minor or major revisions, or recommended to other journals. The Journal Editor's decision is sent to the author, with the reviewers' comments. The identities of the reviewers are not revealed to the authors.

(4) Publishing
Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication are requested to submit electronic files for the final (revised) version text and graphics to KIDS.

The Journal staff edits the manuscript and prepares it for composition. When composed page proofs are available, the Journal staff proofreads and forwards them to the author for final review and to answer any editorial questions that may have resulted from editing the manuscript. The author should return the corrected page proofs to the Journal staff within three working days, if possible, to avoid delaying the publishing date for the paper.

.
(5) Charge for publication
The publication of paper will be made without a pay for publication. Authors will receive 20 free offprints. Authors should pay an additional fee according to the rules set by the KIDS when more offprints are requested or it is necessary to use high quality papers for publication.

(6) Copyright
It is the policy of the KIDS to own the copyrights to all the material it publishes. A copyright transfer form will be provided and must be completed before publication is scheduled. Authors and employers retain full right to the use of their own material
