Submission Guidelines
(Adopted: 1988. 3. 31. Adopted: 2003. 12. 31; 2009. 6. 13; 2011. 8. 26)

Manuscripts

All manuscripts must be submitted online at our website (http://kosfas.or.kr). The author should be a qualified member of the Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, except in the cases of articles co-authored with KOSFAS members or invited articles. The manuscript must be prepared and submitted in Microsoft Word, double-spaced on A4 paper. Use Batangche font for Korean manuscripts and Times New Roman font for English ones, with a font size of 15 for the title (bold), 13 for the name and affiliation of the author (bold), and 11 for the main body (normal). All of the pages of the manuscript must be numbered in order.

Article Types

Article types accepted are: Reviews, Original Articles, Notes, and Short Communication. Prepare notes in the same format as original articles. Reviews are classified into invited and uninvited review articles, and the journal only publishes those uninvited articles that have been reviewed in the same process as original articles.

Organization of the Manuscript

The manuscript must include the title page, author name/affiliation, English abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results (and discussion), discussion, acknowledgements, refrences, and appendices.

Title Page

The title page should briefly describe the subject-matter of the manuscript. Subtitles or numbered series titles are not allowed, and the running title should be included. The title should have no more than 100 characters or 15 words and not exceed two lines in print. Capitalize the first letter of each word except prepositions and articles. A scientific name that comes after a common name in a Korean title should be placed in parentheses, but a scientific name that comes after a common name in an English title should be in italics without commas. Do not space before the opening parenthesis in a Korean title, but space before the opening parenthesis in an English title (the same applies to the main text.) Example) (Korean) 뱀장어((Anguilla japonica))의 영양학적 특성
Example) (English) Nutritional Characteristics of Eels Anguilla japonica

Author Names

In Korean manuscripts, multiple names must be joined by 「·」. In English manuscripts, surnames must follow first names, the initial letters of first name and surname must be capitalized. If more than three names are listed, they must be joined by commans (「,」), and the last author name must come after 「and」. Author names for contact information should be marked with 「*」 in the top right margin.

Example: (Korean) 홍길동·김말수·박재동*
Example: (English) Kil Dong Hong, Mal-Soo Kim and Jae Dong Park*

Abstract

The abstract should be a concise and clear summary giving purpose, methods, results, reflections and conclusions in no more than 200 words.

Keywords

Include no more than 5 keywords. Capitalize the initial letter of each word.

Tables and Figures

Explain Tables and Figures in English. Tables and Figures should be numbered as Fig. 1 and Table 5, etc. Include a title above each table and legends and footnotes below each figure. The figure legends and tables must be prepared on separate pages, and all figures and tables must be cited in the main text as Fig. 1., (Fig.

1), Table 1, (Table 1), etc. Include scientific names in the title of a table without commas. Experimental data should be presented as statistics along with standard deviation and significance.

(1) Tables (Table)

Prepare table legends in English (Times New Roman font) and descriptions in English (Helvetica or Arial font).
Tables should be numbered, e.g., Table 1. Tables should be cited as Table 1 or (Table 1) in the main text. Table legends should be prepared so that they are presented along with descriptions. The size of each table should be an actual size in print (8cm or 17cm width). Do not put footnotes below tables, but insert notes at the end of legends above the tables. Footnotes should be numbered with Arabic numerals typed above and indicated below tables as follows:

Example) 1The letters indicate..........

(2) Figures (Fig.)

Prepare figure legends in English (Times New Roman font) and descriptions in English (Arial or Helvetica font). Figures are numbered, e.g., Fig. 1. Figures are cited as Fig 1 or (Fig. 1) in the text. Table legends should be prepared so that they are presented along with descriptions. The size of each figure should be an actual size in print (the length of the X axis is 6.5cm if printed in half size, up to 15cm if printed in full size). Bundle Figures with the same axis descriptions together and arrange them vertically.

① Graphs
All graphs must appear in boxes. Insert symbols and illustrations of symbols at the end of legends. The border lines and markings of all graphs must have the same thickness. The markings should be directed inward. The descriptions of X and Y axes and the font of units must have the same size in all Figures.

② Hand drawing
Take into consideration the shape, size, and line thickness when the manuscript is printed. To prevent details from becoming blurry when printed at a reduced scale, adjust the line thickness. Include a scale bar and indicate the length of the scale bar in the description.

③ Photographs
: A photograph containing several pages should be arranged with individual photographs joined together. Include a scale bar and indicate the length of the scale bar in the description. Indicate that color photographs should be printed in color.

Units

Units of measurement must be presented using System International (SI) units. (See the table of abbreviations and symbols below.)Symbols such as℃, %, °, ', '', hyphens, and arithmetic symbols must be joined by numbers or letters, but other units should be separated.

Examples) Length: m, cm, mass: kg, g, Time: min, s, hr, Temperature: ℃, K, Volume: L, mL, Calorie: cal, Sodium: psu, Indicate: 5%, 15+2, Temperature-Time, 5 m, 10 mL

Biological Names


(1) Italicize scientific names (genus and species) when they first appear. After that, abbreviate the genus names.

Example) Korean: Salmon(Oncorhynchus keta), English: chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta, O. keta

(2) Indicate scientific names of living organisms that have been manufactured or used as food ingredients.

Example) Changranjeotgal: Product made with the guts of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma)

Chemical Names

For chemical names and symbols, follow the international standards and indicate details in the text or notes if necessary.

Indicating Foreign Language in the Manuscript

Use lower case letters for words different from the original language of the manuscript except those that require capital letters (unique nouns, etc.). Do not use both Korean and English for the same name in the same manuscript.

Citations such as Tables and Figures
