1. Articles

 This journal publishes two types of articles: original research reports comprising a complete, detailed, self-contained description of a research effort, and critical review papers that provide an updating of an area of science or technology pertinent to the scope of this journal. All articles must contain an abstract. (See item 5.

2. Short Paper Submissions

 These are short paper submissions that must belong to the one of the following three cases: a case to report a brief item of research or technology that does not require extensive descriptive writing, or a case to rapidly disseminate important results, or a case to make a comment on an item previously published in the journal. The short paper should be no longer than 6 printed pages including figures and tables

3. Rapid Communications.

 The short paper submissions are generally intended for accelerated publication. Rapid communications are given priority in handling. A fast decision will be made for the short papers, and the next-issue-publication will be guaranteed if accepted.

4. Abstracts.

 An abstract must accompany each article. It should be adequate as an index and as a summary. It should give all subjects, major and minor, concerning which new information is presented. It should give the conclusions of the article and all numerical results of general interest. An abstract is usually reprinted verbatim in abstract journals. Therefore, a great care should be used in writing it.

5. Manuscripts.

 Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they have not been copyrighted, published, or accepted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts must be in English, typewritten, double-spaced on one side A4 size or US letter size white bond paper. Three copies must be submitted. Wide margins should be provided to permit editorial instructions to the printer. Authors should adopt a particular way of writing their names in the by-line and use the same name for all   publications. This practice makes indexes more useful and less confusing. Upon acceptance, a copy of the text portion of the manuscript on computer disk is requested. (See item 14 below

6. Style.

 Authors are expected to follow the conventional writing, notation, and illustration style prescribed in the Style Manual of the Acoustical Society of America. Authors should also study the form and style of printed material in this journal

7. Illustrations.

  All illustrations must accompany submitted manuscripts and, like the manuscripts, they must be in duplicate. Every illustration must be referred to in the main text in consecutive numerical order. A caption (legend) must accompany each illustration. Captions must be typed double-spaced on a sheet of paper at the end of the manuscript. Drawings should be planned with oversize lettering and wide-spaced coordinates to be reproduced satisfactorily within single-column width (85 mm). Principal letters on figures are reduced to approximately 1.5 mm or, if a Leroy lettering device is used, to #060, regardless of the overall size of the drawing. For the best results, draftsmen should be given a recent copy of the journal to familiarize themselves with the proportions to be followed.

  Line drawings are preferable to photographs and must be made with India ink on plain white paper or tracing cloth. Coordinate paper is not satisfactory, but if used must be blue-lined with all coordinates to be reproduced ruled in with India ink. High-quality glossy prints with sharp even lines and lettering may be submitted in place of original drawings when these are of exaggerated size and awkward to handle.

  Photographs of standard apparatus in a laboratory setup are not instructive and should not be included. Pictures should be glossy prints with a maximum black and white contrast. Do not write heavily on the backs of photographs or clip or staple them so as to mar the picture. Write on the back or margin of each illustration the figure number and the author's name.

   Authors must assume responsibility for the quality of computer-generated graphs or charts. It is necessary to exercise control over the computer-driven printer so that the lines of a graph are dark enough for reproduction.

  If the labeling on a computer-generated plot is of poor quality, have an

  illustrator superimpose acceptable hand drawn characters on the plot.

  Computer-generated plots made up of small horizontal and vertical line segments may be rejected if the segments are not short enough.

8. Mathematics.

  Mathematical expressions should be typewritten as completely as possible, with unavailable symbols being carefully inserted in ink. Special care should be given to make equations and formulas clear to the typesetter. Equations should be numbered in a consecutive numeri-cal order in a plain parenthesis ( ), and should be cited by the number in the plain parenthesis. Do not repeat mathematical derivations that are easily found elsewhere in the literature; merely cite the references.

9. References.

  References should be numbered consecutively and amanged

 as:

  (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1968), Chap.10, pp.662-678.

10. Tables.

  All but the simplest tabular material should be organized into separate tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals and typed on sheets at the top-left of the table, which makes the data in the table intelligible without reference to the text. Avoid complicated column headings. If necessary, use symbols which are explained in the caption. Type a double horizontal line below the caption, a single line below the headings, and another double line at the end of the table. Long tables should, if possible, be submitted in a form ready for direct photo-reproduction. Photo-reproducible tables (including captions) are typed single-spaced on an electric typewriter with Elite type or an equivalent proportional-spaced typeface, and have been designed to fit in one journal column (85 250 mm) or across two columns (175  250 mm).

11. Publication Charges .

  comprise the major source of income for this journal. Consequently, author's institutions or companies are asked and urged to pay a publication charge which entitles them to 30 reprints without covers. For more details, see the General Information for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea.

12. Correspondence.

  Send manuscripts and forward all the correspond-ences to the Editorial Board, The Acoustical Society of Korea, Room #304, 635-4 Yucksam-Dong, Kangnam-Ku, Seoul, 135-703, Korea; telephone: +82-2-556-3513; Fax: +82-2-569-9717.

If the paper is accepted for publication, the editor-in-chief will notify the author. Any alterations can be made at this time. Reference must be made to the author, journal, and scheduled date of issue.

13. Galley Proofs .
