Evaluation Process of Articles

4. Contributed articles must be blindly evaluated (the authors' names are kept secret to the evaluators, and the evaluator's names are kept secret to the authors) by 2 evaluators. After the 1st round of evaluation, the chief area editor must submit their opinions on whether or not to publish to the chief editor. The chief editor must give the chief area editor's recommendations and the evaluation results to the authors, and can request revisions to the article based on the evaluators' results. If the evaluation results are tied among those in favor and those not in favor of publishing, the chief editor can consult the chief area editor and a third party to make a final decision on publishing.
5. Evaluators commissioned by the chief editor to evaluate an article must finish their evaluation within 21 days from the date of commission, and must return the results to the chief editor over the Internet in accordance with the manner designated by the Editorial Board. If a selected evaluator cannot evaluate an article because of unavoidable circumstances, he/she must immediately notify the chief editor.
6. Writers that receive a revision request from the chief editor must revise and resubmit their article to the Editorial Board within 3 months of receiving the request. The writer must submit the revised article along with a revision outline. If the writer does not submit a revised article within the deadline without prior notification of his/her circumstances, the article will be considered withdrawn from the evaluation process.
7. An article must be revised by the authors, and the revised article must be reevaluated by the same evaluators from the 1st round. Evaluators commissioned with evaluating the revised article must finish the evaluation within 14 days of the commission and return the results to the chief editor over the Internet.
