All work should be original and not have been previously published in any journal, book, or peer reviewed compilation.  Those intending to write a review should first contact one of the editors.  Letters to the Editor, book reviews and meeting/course announcements are also accepted subject to editorial review.

Manuscript preparation

1. All manuscripts must be prepared in English.

2. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, typed double-spaced throughout and on one side of the paper only.  Paper size should be 210 mm x 297 mm (A4) or 8 1/2 in x 11 in (Letter) with margins of at least 25 mm on all sides.

3. The content should be ordered as follows: title, author name(s), affiliations and addresses including the e-mail address of the corresponding author, abstract (not exceeding 20 typewritten lines), keywords, text, acknowledgments, list of symbols, references, appendices, figure captions, tables.  The abstract should be a summary of the whole paper, not the conclusions alone.  The text should be reasonably subdivided into sections and subsections.

4. References should be cited in the text, using author(s), and the year of publication; for example, prior work by Kim (1994), by Boger and Walters (1997), and by Roh and co-workers (1995).  Both authors are cited when there are two and the phrases “and co-workers” or “et al.” are employed to cite a publication having more than two authors.  The references are compiled at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order of the first author and arranged as follows:

Kim, C., 1994, “Collapse of spherical bubbles in Maxwell fluids,” J. Non-Newt. Fluid Mech. 55, 37-58. Boger, D.V. and K. Walters, 1993, Rheological Phenomena in Focus, Elsevier, Amsterdam.

5. Mathematical and chemical symbols, equations and formulae should be typed.  All equations must be numbered sequentially in Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right-hand side of the page.

6. Authors are required to use the International System of Units (SI Unit) and their standard abbreviations where possible.

7. Illustrations must be original drawings or sharp black and white prints.  Details of notation such as subscripts and superscripts, as well as labels and numbers on figure axes, must be legible after reproduction  in A4 sheet.  Computer graphics files must be submitted after the paper is accepted in the case of halftone art, shaded figures and figures in gray scale.  Graphics must be submitted as BMP, PCX, PostScript, TIF or GIF. All figures must be numbered consecutively and referred to in the text. Captions for all figures must be compiled on a separate sheet.  If figures are taken from copyrighted material, it is understood that the author has obtained permission from the copyright holder for their reproduction. Color illustrations can be reproduced at the author's expense. The author should contact one of the editorial offices for details.

Referees

Every paper is subject to peer-review. Authors may suggest suitable referees for their paper, although the editors reserve the right not to approach them.

Queries

Queries regarding accepted papers should be addressed to the editor to which the paper was submitted. All other queries (proofs or offprints) should be addressed to the Korean editorial office, or to Chongyoup Kim, The Korean Society of Rheology (E-mail: cykim@grtrkr.korea.ac.kr).

Offprints and reprints

The corresponding author will receive 10 offprints of the paper and one copy of the journal free of charge.  Extra copies of offprints, minimum 10, can be ordered by submitting a form (which is available upon request) to the Korean editorial office.
