										Research and publication ethics
If there is any conflict of interest, the authors should disclose it. If
medicine or medical equipment is involved, the authors should clarify
any commercial relationship with the manufacturer or research funds
from the manufacturer.
For human research, the study should follow the Declaration of Helsinki,
available at http://www.wma.net. For animal studies, the authors
should indicate how they minimized pain or discomfort to the animals
in keeping with The Institutional Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory
Animals.
Approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is required for clinical
research. Clinical trials should be registered with a primary national
clinical trial registration site, such as the Korea Clinical Research Information
Service (CRiS), available at http://cris.cdc.go.kr or other sites
accredited by the World Health Organization (WHO) or the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors and the registration
number should be cited in the Abstract.
Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to
conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation
of data, 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important
intellectual content, and 3) final approval of the version to be published
according to The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted
to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication.
Any papers that are forged, altered, plagiarized, redundant, or
dishonest cannot be published. The submitted manuscript will be
checked for plagiarism using CrossCheck (http://crossref.org/crosscheck.
html). Secondary publication is allowed only if its language is different,
the readers are different, and the two journal editors agree.
Regarding policies on research and publication ethics that are not
stated in these instructions, The Good Publication Practice Guidelines for
Medical Journals, available at http://kamje.or.kr/publishing_ethics.html,
or the guidelines on Good Publication, available at http://www.publicationethics.
org.uk/, can be applied.
