Guidelines for Authors

 (Guidelines for Authors (In Brief))

▢ Manuscript Submission

   Authors must submit their manuscript (in MS Word format) via the online submission system (http://kyobo5.medone.co.kr).

▢ Blind Review Policy

   This journal follows a double-blind peer-review policy. Submitted manuscripts are sent to two reviewers—qualified experts in the relevant field selected by the Editor-in-Chief—who evaluate the manuscript based on journal guidelines and the characteristics of high-quality research papers. In the case of manuscripts requiring revisions, the same reviewers will re-evaluate the manuscript to ensure that the quality of the revised version is at an acceptable level.

Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

Authors must strictly adhere to these preparation guidelines before submitting their manuscript.

1. Language

The language used in the manuscript must be English. (Use American English, e.g., “color” instead of “colour”).

2. Manuscript Length

The length of the manuscript must not exceed 30 pages (Times New Roman, 12-point font), excluding tables, figures, references, and appendices (if any). Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the page only (Letter size recommended) with 1-inch margins, and the body text (including footnotes and references) should be double-spaced. Authors are encouraged to be as concise as possible without compromising clarity.

3. Title Page

The title page must include the following: (i) A concise and informative title, (ii) author names, (iii) author affiliations and addresses, and (iv) the corresponding author's email address, telephone number, and fax number.

4. Abstract

Provide an abstract between 200 and 250 words. The abstract should not contain undefined abbreviations or unspecified citations. The content of the abstract must include the Purpose, Design/Methodology/Approach, Findings, and Research Implications.

5. Keywords

Provide between 4 and 6 keywords that can be used for indexing purposes.

6. Acknowledgement

Authors may use an acknowledgement section on the manuscript title page.

7. Subdivision of the Article

Divide the article into clearly defined and numbered sections; section numbers must be marked with Roman numerals (e.g., I, II). Subsections should be numbered using a decimal system (e.g., 1., 1.1., 1.1.1., 1.1.2., 1.2., …, 2., 2.1.). The abstract is not included in the section numbering.

8. Table and Figure

Tables and figures should be placed within the text, not at the end of the manuscript. Please note that while the online version may include color figures, the printed version (booklet) will be published in black and white. However, color printing may be available in extreme cases upon the author’s request.

9. References

Authors must follow the latest version of the KITRI style when preparing references. For more information on the KITRI style, please visit www.jnabea.org.

▢ Citations in the text

All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and vice versa.

▢ Manuscript Review Timeframe

   Submitted manuscripts are initially reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief within 2 weeks of submission.

   The Editor-in-Chief will contact the corresponding author regarding whether the paper will proceed to the blind review stage or be rejected (desk reject) for being unsuitable for publication in the journal.

   Generally, the blind peer-review process takes approximately 2–3 weeks.

   The Journal of East Asian Health (JEAH) will not process any submitted manuscript that does not fully meet the requirements of the submission guidelines.

   Contributors whose papers are accepted for publication will receive one complimentary copy of the journal issue in which their paper appears.
