2. Name of journal
The official journal title is The Journal of the Korea Planning Association (JKPA). As the leading academic journal in urban and regional planning in South Korea, JKPA has embraced the multidisciplinary nature of this field.
3. Peer review process
The JKPA is an international journal for urban studies that employs a double-blind peer-review process. The JKPA does not invite author-suggested reviewers at any stage of the submission process to ensure that all articles are reviewed and evaluated fairly with minimal bias.
The JKPA has eight editorial sections, each with a section editor responsible for managing or reviewing submitted papers in the following areas: 1) urban planning and design, 2) transportation planning, 3) urban economics, 4) housing, community, and real estate development, 5) environmental modelling and spatial analysis, and 6) planning theory and history.
The detailed peer-review process of the JKPA is as follows:
a) The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the JKPA via the DBpiaONE online system (https://dbpiaone.com/jkpa);
b) The JKPA editorial office checks that the submitted paper adheres to the requirements of the journal’s author guidelines;
c) The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) first assesses the submitted paper, focusing on its scope, study areas, and themes, and then assigns the paper to one of the eight section editors;
d) Section editors and editorial members suggest appropriate reviewers, who can professionally and fairly assess the paper, to the EIC. Section editors can also propose rejecting the paper at this stage, depending on its scope, originality, novelty, and contribution;
e) The EIC selects the appropriate reviewers while considering their expertise and conflict of interest. Subsequently, the handling editor sends invitations to the selected reviewers;
f) Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest, and availability. They then accept or decline the invitation to review. If declining, they can also suggest alternative reviewers;
g) A total of three reviewers assess the paper. They provide a detailed point-by-point review and the reviewer’s recommendation (i.e., accept, minor revision, major revision, and reject the paper). The review period is suggested to be within three weeks;
h) The handling editor collects all the returned reviews and sends them to the EIC. If the reviews differ widely, the EIC invites an additional reviewer to consider an extra opinion before making a decision;
i) The EIC makes a decision based on all returned reviews and sends a decision email to the corresponding or submitting author, including the reviewers’ comments;
i-1) The paper is sent to production if accepted;
i-2) If the paper is rejected, the EIC provides overall comments, including the reviewers’ comments, to encourage the author to develop the paper;
i-3) If the paper sent back for major revision, the EIC provides overall comments, including the reviewers’ comments, to help the author improve and revise the paper. The JKPA proposes that the paper be revised within three months;
i-4) If minor revision is required, the follow-up review can be conducted by the EIC, or the paper may be sent back to the reviewer for a decision after the author revises it.
j) The author can raise their complaints and appeals against editorial decisions to the EIC within two weeks after the final decisions. The EIC should respond to the submitted complaints and appeals within two weeks after the issues are submitted.
