§1. Only members of the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences may submit articles. 

§2. However, membership is completely open to anyone who registers with the Institute, and may be postponed until after a submission
      has been accepted for publication. 

§3. In the case of co-authored submissions, at least one author should register for membership with the Institute of Humanities and Social
      Sciences, if not already a member. 

§4. Special issues of the journal are exempt from the above qualifications. 

§5. An author, whether writing singly or as a co-author, can submit at most only two articles within twelve (12) months.

1. Prior publication of a submission, whether in its entirety or in significant portions. 

2. Commercially supported papers without direct acknowledgment and a statement of authorial independence.

3. Manuscripts without original research and/or analysis. 

4. Manuscript size or style inconsistent with journal standards.

§1. Any of the editors may select peer reviewers based on background and areas of expertise.

§2. Every submission should be sent to two peer reviewers. 

§3. A submitting author or co-author cannot be a reviewer of his or her own submission. 

§4. If a submitting author or co-author is a member of the editorial board of the journal, he or she is barred from participation in the
      selection of reviewers or any other aspect of the review process.

Term-1, The reviewer should make a decision on a submission within 14days of receiving it

Term-2, There are four possible decisons that each reviewer must submit to the editor-in-cheif who selected him or her

§1. The editorial board must normally initiate contact with the author(s) within one day of receipt of the second reviewer’s decision with
      the results of both reviewers’ decisions, the reasons for their decision if it is anything other than acceptance as submitted, and
      guidelines from the editorial board as to how to respond in the case of differences between the reviewers. The single exception would
      be a situation in which only one of the reviewers opted for “rejection” and the editorial board has determined that there is room for
      argument as to the possibility of publication of the submission after revision (see Article 5 §4 subsection 4 above). In this instance, the
      author(s) will be given a choice between submitting the manuscript to a different journal or waiting on the results of a third reviewer’s
      evaluation. 

§2. Revisions based on the reviewer-provided documentation should be sent to the editorial board, which shall determine whether the
      changes adequately address reviewer concerns. If the authorial revisions are deemed by the editorial board to have been insufficient,
      the submission is returned to the author(s) for additional changes.

§3. If the decision by both reviewers was reconsideration of a manuscript after major revisions, the manuscript can be resubmitted only
      once. If only one of the reviewers chose the “reconsideration after major revisions” option, the editorial board can allow more than one
      resubmission based on its determination of the significance of the issues raised. 

§4. If a submission has been rejected, the editorial board has the option of declining to send out for review a future submission by the
      same author(s) if in their judgment it is only a revision rather than a thorough receonceptualization of the previous submission. 

§5. At any point in the editorial process after initial submission the editorial board can request or, in minor instances, initiate changes in
      spelling, punctuation, citation and bibliographical format, alphabetization, etc., to conform to established standards and house style.
      Prompt attention by the author(s) to editorial requests is necessary in order to avoid publication delays or postponement. 

§6. In the case of submissions originally in Korean, the submission of a second version translated into English is required prior to
      simultaneous publication of both versions in SHSS. However, submission of this English translation can await notice of acceptance of
      the original Korean text as submitted or with minor revisions, and can accompany any changes in the Korean text created in reaction to 

      reviewer comments. For publication in the forthcoming issue the final Korean text and English translation must be submitted within
      thirty (30) days of the scheduled publication date. In that period the co-editor in charge of English submissions will review the English
      translation, initiate minor changes for grammatical or stylistic purposes, and query the author(s) regarding any major issues.

§1. Regular issues are published four times a year.

§2. Regular issues are published on February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30. 

§3. To accommodate the review process a submission originally in Korean must be received within sixty (60) days of a regular issue
      publication date for it to be considered for that issue. A submission originally in English must be received within forty-five (45) days of
      the publication date. In either case, if there are requested revisions, publication may be postponed. It is therefore strongly
      recommended that manuscripts in Korean or English be submitted prior to the respective issue deadlines. 

§4. Publication of special issues can be determined by the editorial board or through a request by outside parties. 

§5. Special issues will have the same review process as regular issues of the journal, except that at the editorial board’s discretion certain
       steps in the regular procedures can be altered or omitted as deemed appropriate. 

§6. The editorial board can invite guest editors for special issues.

§1. Submission of the same paper to other journals or publication venues during the review process is forbidden.

§2. The default languages of this journal are Korean and English. The author(s) of an article submitted in Korean must provide an English
      translation of the full text, including references, prior to publication. Native Korean speakers offering a submission in English are
      expected to provide a separate translation of the title, abstract, and keywords into Korean; the Korean translations for non-native and
      foreign scholars will be provided by SHSS staff. 

§3. The editorial board at its discretion may authorize publication of an article written in another language, with titles, abstracts, and
      keywords translated into both Korean and English. Titles of works in the article’s list of references in Chinese, Japanese, French, or
      German need not be translated.

§1. To cover editorial, review, and publication costs the author or chief author of a co-authored submission should, upon acknowledgment
      of its receipt and acceptability for outside review, forward 150,000 won or its equivalent in other currencies to the journal, except in
      cases in which the author(s) acknowledge financial support from outside their academic institution or other workplace for their
      research. In the latter circumstance the author or chief author of a co-authored paper should forward 250,000 won or its equivalent.

§2. Authors or chief authors residing outside the Republic of Korea may deduct any charges for international money transfers from the
      publication fees. 

§3. The special issue review and publication fees are the same as for regular issues. 

§4. Review and publication fees should be sent to the Honam University Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences account at the Korean
      Post Office Bank, account number 503912-02-1275232.

§1. All submissions will be reviewed by the editorial board for consistency with the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines and SHSS house
      style. English texts must be reviewed for readability in English prior to publication.

§2. Every problem in the review and publication process shall be addressed by the editorial board, which retains full authority over the
      publication of the journal.
