Journal of Migration and Social-Integration

 
03 January, 2018

The JMSI is an official journal of Migration and Social-Integration Research Center at KonKuk University, published bi-annually in February and August. The editors and editorial board welcome submissions year-round for publication.

• Submission

1. 1. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to msrc@konkuk.ac.kr. For the manuscript, Microsoft Word format is highly recommended.
2. 2. The submission should include two separate files. A Title Page should contain the details of the Authors (name, affiliation, E-mail etc.). A Blinded Manuscript should include the reminder of the manuscript (abstract, running text, references, acknowledgments, and all tables, figures, and appendices) without author’s information.
3. 3. The manuscripts are considered for publication only on the understanding that they have not been published previously, that they are not currently under review elsewhere in English.
4. 4. After a submission is accepted, the manuscripts will be under the review process. The review process usually takes at least 4-5 weeks, or longer if needed.

• General Format

1. 1. Manuscripts should be approximately 25 pages (6000-7000 words) in length in total, including tables, figures, and references (no more than 30 pages). A manuscript should include an abstract of no more than 300 words and 4-5 key words. It should be double-spaced, Times New Roman style, and 12 point font on A4 size paper with margins 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all sides. Because the review process is anonymous, the author’s name and all information that enable the reviewers to identify the authors should appear only on a separate title page, and be removed from the manuscripts.
2. 2. A separate title page should include the title of the manuscript, names and institutional affiliations (degree, position, department, and institution) of all the authors, e-mail addresses of all the authors’, the corresponding author’s complete mailing address and telephone number. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this title page.
3. 3. Regarding spelling, American English is preferred (e.g., color, not colour; center, not centre; realize, not realize; program, not programme, etc.).
4. 4. Punctuation should follow American English usage: double quotation marks are used in all instances except quotations within quotations, where single quotation marks are used; commas and periods at the end of a quoted section are placed inside the final set of quotation marks; in lists of three or more items in a series, a comma should be used after each item except the final one (e.g., “The relevance, usefulness, and ethicality of this ‘hands-on’ approach has been questioned.”).

• Citation and References

1. 1. Footnotes are recommended for citations. Citation sources should be properly presented following notes and bibliography style of Chicago-style source citations.
2. 2. Full references list should be presented in the reference list to all works cited in the text, including citations in footnotes. References not cited in the text should be removed from the list.
3. 3. List the references in alphabetical order of the authors’ last (family) name. Use only the initials of the authors’ first (and middle) names.
4. 4. Titles of articles or books should be capitalize only the first character of the title and subtitle. Only journal titles should be capitalized for every first significant word of the title.
5. 5. Journal titles and volume numbers (except for issue numbers), and book titles should be italicized.
