HOW TO SUBMIT MANUSCRIPTS

All authors of the submitted manuscript should be members of the KSFE for submission and consideration of manuscripts. Authors should submit their manuscript electronically by using online manuscript submission system available at http://www.foodengprog.kr. The “date of receipt” that appears in the published paper will be the date when Editorial Office received the manuscript.

FILE FORMATS

The format should be as a Microsoft Word document for the PC not MAC. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with 2.5 cm margins on all corners in A4-sized papers (210×297 mm). Font type of Times New Roman with 12 pt is required. Manuscript should have page numbers with line numbering except title page and pages containing tables, figure legends, and figures. Each figure should be labeled with a figure number.

ORGANIZATION AND STYLES OF MANUSCRIPTS

Manuscripts have three types; Research articles, Research notes, and Review articles

I. Research articles

Research articles are reports of original, scientifically sound research. Articles should be structured under the section headings Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References. The standard length of a published article should be six printed page long including tables and figures, which is approximately the equivalent of a Word document of 12 A4 pages of double-spaced 12 pt Times New Roman font.

The organization shown below should be followed (in the order given):

Title page

The title page should include:

A concise and informative title The name(s) of the author(s) The affiliation(s) of the author(s)

A brief running title (not to exceed 10 words)

The name, affiliation, city with zip code, country, telephone and fax numbers with country code, e-mail address of the corresponding author.

Place an asterisk after the name of the corresponding author. The name and affiliation address for each author except the corresponding author should be indicated by superscript Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, etc).

Abstract

Abstract must be both informative and concise. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. All non-standard abbreviations must be defined. The overall length should not exceed 200 words.

Key words

This must be provided with 3 to 5 key words which can be used for indexing purposes. Please avoid general terms and abbreviations.

Introduction

The Introduction presents the purpose of the studies reported and their relationship to earlier work in the field. It should not be a mini-review of the literature. Use only those references required to provide the most salient background to allow the readers to understand and evaluate the purpose and results of the present study without referring to previous publications on the topic.

Materials and Methods

The Materials and Methods section should be brief but include sufficient technical information to allow the experiments to be repeated by a qualified reader. Cite previously published procedures in References. Avoid describing routine or trivial matters. Suppliers of chemicals should only be given if these are not generally available or are in some way unusual or are crucial for success. Manufacturers of equipment are given with model name, manufacturer name, and country (for example; gas chromatography (14B, Shimadzu, Japan)).

Results

The Results section should include the rationale or design of the experiments as well as the results of the experiments. Results can be presented in figures, tables, and text.

Discussion

The Discussion section should focus on the significance of the results rather than a repetition of the Results section. The Results and Discussion sections may be combined into one section.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of financial support, technical assistance and so on are given in a separate paragraph.

References

References should be given in the text as Kim et al. (2009) or Boles & Shand (1998), or (Montero et al., 2000; Ardo, 2006); the first author with et al. is used for papers with three or more authors. Where necessary, papers are distinguished as Kim (2009a), (Ha et al., 2000a, b). When several references appear together in the text, cite them in chronological order, and alphabetically within years. The Reference list at the end of the paper, which should begin on a fresh page, is given in strict alphabetical order. Each reference should contain authors' names, with initials (in capitals), the year of publication, the title of the paper, the name of the journal in abbreviation, the volume and the page range. Titles of articles originally published in another language should be given in English translation. References to books should include the publisher and the town of publication, with editor(s) and volume and edition number where appropriate. Authors should refer to the most recent issue for the format of references. References to papers accepted for publication but not yet published should show the journal name and, if known, the probable year of publication, and state "(in press)". The following types of references are not valid for listing in the References section; unpublished data, personal communication, and manuscripts in preparation or submitted. Abbreviate journal names according to the ISI Journals database (available at http://apps.isiknowledge.com). References should take the following examples:

Figure legends

Figure legends should contain a brief description of the experiments so that the figure can be understood without reference to the body of the text. However, the legend should not repeat Materials and Methods or contain interpretive statements.

Figures

Figures should be provided separately from the main text. Use Arabic numerals to number all figures (e.g., Fig. 1, Fig. 2) according to their sequence in the text. The figure number must appear well outside the boundaries of the image itself. Multipart figures should be numbered in uppercase and bold font letters (A, B, C, etc) without parenthesis, both on the figure itself and in the figure legends. Note that figures may have to be reduced in size to fit the one-column (7.5 cm) or two-column (16 cm) space of the printed page, as determined by the journal designer. Blurred images will not be accepted.

The author(s) will be required to pay for reproduction of color photographs. Any figures submitted in color will be reviewed and processed with the understanding that the figure will be published in color.

Tables

Tables should be typewritten, together with their title, separately from the main text and in an appropriate font size to preferably fit each table on a separate page at the end of text after the References. Their lay-out should be suitable for printing as either single column (7.5 cm) or double column (16 cm) width. Avoid vertical rulings (lines) and keep horizontal rulings to a minimum. Each table must be numbered with Arabic numerals (e.g., Table 1, Table 2). Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc), not symbols. Each column in a table must have a heading, and abbreviations, when necessary, should be defined in the footnotes.

II. Research notes

Research notes are short reports for the presentation of brief observation that have insufficient material to fulfill the structure of a full-length article. They are intended for reporting preliminary studies or brief studies of a descriptive nature. Notes should be arranged in the same way as Full-length research articles and the standard length of a published Note should be two printed page long including tables and figures.

III. Review articles

Reviews articles provide an analysis of a scientific or applied field, which include all important findings and bring together reports from a number of sources. Review articles are normally invited by the Editors or the Editorial Board. Reviews should be structured under appropriate section such as Introduction, Main body, Conclusion, and References with no restriction in format. There is no length limitation for Reviews. Reviews are subjected to independent peer review, and the Editor-in-Chief may request changes, or decide not to proceed with publication.

UNITS, ABBREVIATIONS and NOMENCLATURE

Authors should consult a current issue for guidance. Always use Arabic numerals with units.

All abbreviations should be defined at their first use in the text only; do not repeat the definition of abbreviations thereafter. SI and metric units should be used whenever possible. Please always leave a space between the number and the unit except % and C; e.g. 100 mM not 100mM.

If you use %, always state if this is v/v, w/v, v/w or w/w. Abbreviations are never made plural.

Mixtures of solvents are given as chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) or methanol/water/acetic acid (60:35:5, by vol.). Followings are the example of unit style.
