1. General Information

Aims

The Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JKACAP) seeks to promote the well-being of children and families by publishing scholarly papers on sub-jects that cover mental disorders, health policy, legislation, advocacy, ethnic issues, culture (including gender issues), and service provision as they pertain to mental health for children and their families. The JKACAP aims to provide fast but professional knowledge to diverse and complex top-ics related to mental health in childhood and adolescence in which interest is rapidly growing.

Scope

Since 1990, the official publication of the KACAP has cov-ered the full range of mental health and neuroscience from infancy to adolescence. Given the characteristics that neuro-developmental disorders that are developed in childhood can lead to lifelong disabilities, this journal today is now dealing with the progress of these childhood disorders into early adulthood. Although published by the KACAP, the editorial committee is willing to create a journal that transcends in-terdisciplinary and interstate barriers. In particular, there is no journal on pediatric psychiatry that represents the Asian region, and we are trying to play a role in helping to fully re-flect the research and culture of Asian countries including members of the Asian Society of Child and Adolescent Psy-chiatry and Allied Professionals (ASCAPAP). The KACAP was established in 1983 and the journal has been published annually since 1990. Currently, it is issued quarterly (1st of January, April, July, and October). In the past both English and Korean manuscripts were published, but since 2018 only English papers have been published to ex-pand the readership. In Korea, candidates for the study of child and adolescent psychiatry should have completed a four-year residency in general psychiatry, followed by a two-year course in a full-time fellowship program in KACAP-certified train-ing hospitals. In order to become a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, qualifying examinations, including paper and oral tests, must be passed. The JKACAP was first established to share and validate clinical experiences and knowledge of members of this pro-fession through academic papers. However, the editorial com-mittee of the JKACAP neither stresses professionalism that might narrow the field of view, nor emphasizes expertise which could lead to only publishing topics with limited in-terests. To prevent these shortcomings, we welcome research findings for publication that actively expand interdisciplin-ary, cross-border, and cross-cultural exchanges.

Readership

The JKACAP reaches clinicians, other health professionals, researchers, policymakers, librarians, journalists, and others who are interested in mental and public health of children and adolescents throughout the world.

Clinicians in the field have access to focused, comprehen-sive, and in-depth information in clinical practice.

Psychiatry students can acquire educational material from review articles written by experts.

Researchers can gain up-to-date and significant knowl-edge in the field of psychiatry.

Policymakers are able to reflect on the implications of health policies in articles.

The public will be able to appreciate the advances which have been made in the field of psychiatry.

2. Research and Publication Ethics

1) Author��s Responsibilities and Qualifications

Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. One or more authors should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from inception to published articles. According to the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), authorship credit should be based on the following 4 criteria:

�� substantial contributions to conception or design of the work, or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; and

�� drafting of the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and

�� final approval of the version to be published; and

�� agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. Each author should be accountable for the parts of the work he or she has done. In addition, each author should be able to identify which coauthors are responsible for specific other parts of the work and should have confidence in the integrity of the contributions of any coauthors.

All those designated as authors should meet all 4 criteria for authorship, and all who meet the 4 criteria should be identified as authors. Those who do not meet all 4 criteria should be acknowledged. In addition, authors are required to identify their specific contributions to the work described in the manuscript. Requests by authors to designate equal contributions or shared authorship positions (e,g., co-first authorship) may be considered if justified and within reason. For reports of original data, authors�� specific contributions will be published in the Acknowledgment section. All other persons who have made substantial contributions to the work reported in this manuscript (e.g., data collection, analysis, or writing or editing assistance) but who do not fulfill the authorship criteria should be named with their specific contributions and affiliations in an Acknowledgment in the manuscript. Written permission to include the names of individuals in the Acknowledgment section must be obtained.

Corresponding author(s): The corresponding author(s) is(are) the one individual(s) who take(s) primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process, and typically ensures that all the journal��s administrative requirements, such as providing details of authorship, ethics committee approval, clinical trial registration documentation, and gathering conflict of interest forms and statements, are properly completed, although these duties may be delegated to one or more coauthors. The corresponding author(s) should be available throughout the submission and peer review process to respond to editorial queries in a timely way, and should be available after publication to respond to critiques of the work and cooperate with any requests from the journal for data or additional information should questions about the paper arise after publication. [http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html]

2) Redundant Publication and Secondary Publication

Redundant publication is prohibited in principle. However, if a Korean-language paper in this journal is intended to be published in a foreign journal in a foreign language or vice versa, secondary publication is permitted on the conditions that it is accepted by the editors of both journals and that the fact is specified in the title-page footnote of a secondly published paper that all or part of the paper has already been published in another journal.

3) Research Ethics

All of the manuscripts should be prepared based on strict observation of research and publication ethics guidelines recommended by the Council of Science Editors (http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/), International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, http://www.icmje.org/), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME, http://www.wame.org/), and the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE, http://www.kamje.or.kr/intro.php?body=eng_index).
Any study including human subjects or human data must be reviewed and approved by a responsible Institutional Review Board (IRB). Please refer to the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki (https://www.wma.net/policies-post/wma-declaration-of-helsinki-ethical-principles-for-medical-research-involving-human-subjects/) for all investigations involving human materials. Animal experiments also should be reviewed by an appropriate committee (IACUC) for the care and use of animals. Also studies with pathogens requiring a high degree of biosafety should pass review of a relevant committee (IBC).
The editor of J Korean Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry may request submission of copies of informed consents from human subjects in clinical studies or IRB approval documents. When J Korean Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry faces suspected cases of research and publication misconduct such as redundant (duplicate) publication, plagiarism, fraudulent or fabricated data, changes in authorship, an undisclosed conflict of interest, ethical problems with a submitted manuscript, a reviewer who has appropriated an author��s idea or data, complaints against editors, and so on, the resolution process will follow the flowchart provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (http://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts). The discussion and decision on the suspected cases are carried out by the Editorial Board.

4) Conflicts of Interest

The corresponding author(s) of an article is asked to inform the Editor of the authors�� potential conflicts of interest possibly influencing the research or interpretation of data. Such conflicts may include financial support or private connections to pharmaceutical companies, political pressure from interest groups, or academic problems. A potential conflict of interest should be disclosed in the cover letter even when the authors are confident that their judgments have not been influenced in preparing the manuscript. Disclosure form shall be same with ICMJE Uniform Disclosure Form for Potential Conflicts of Interest (http://www.icmje.org/coi_disclosure.pdf).
The Editor will decide whether the information on the conflict should be included in the published paper. Before publishing such information, the Editor will consult with the corresponding author. In particular, all sources of funding for a study should be explicitly stated. The J Korean Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry asks referees to let its Editor know of any conflict of interest before reviewing a particular manuscript.

3. Peer Review Process and Acceptance

If a manuscript is submitted, the editor-in-chief should first screen it according to the editorial policy. During screening, the information of the author can be revealed to the editorial board members. If the manuscript is acceptable, the editor-in-chief assigns a receipt number to the manuscript and notifies its author. The manuscript can be immediately rejected, if it does not meet the editorial policy at all.
The manuscript should be examined by two or more reviewers from the corresponding field. Usual checkpoints of the manuscript include relevance of the topic to the journal��s interests, creativity, importance of results, academic significances and effects in the relevant fields, clarity of the study and conformity to the medical ethics. A reviewer may recommend ��Accept,�� ��Minor revision,�� ��Major revision,�� or ��Reject.�� A reviewer should report their recommended decision to the editor-in-chief within a fixed deadline. The review process usually takes within 8 weeks after submission of manuscript. Revision is mostly performed on the basis of suggestions or recommendations of the reviewers. The author should specify his/her changes based on each suggestion or recommendation. When not following a suggestion or recommendation, he/she should produce any reasonable explanation for the non-compliance. If the corresponding author does not submit a revised manuscript without special notice within 2 months after the notification of the decision, it is deemed a withdrawal of the manuscript. If ��review again after revision�� is repeated three times, it is deemed ��rejection��. The decision process and the final decision should be made in accordance with the editorial policy and the decision table of J Korean Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry.

The journal uses a double-blind peer review process. Author identities are concealed from the reviewers throughout the review process. A reviewer should be anonymous (unless reviewers choose to reveal their names in the review process), and if the manuscript is related to his/her personal interests and considered inappropriate, it should be reported to the editor-in-chief. The existence of a manuscript under review is not revealed to anyone other than peer reviewers and editorial staff. Peer reviewers are required to maintain confidentiality about the manuscripts they review and must not divulge any information about a specific manuscript or its content to any third party without prior permission from the journal editors. After finishing the peer review process, the editor should notify the author of its result. A manuscript, of which publication is not accepted, will not be returned.

4. Manuscript Content and Form

To submit manuscripts to the journal, an author should write his/her manuscript in accordance with the Ethical Guideline for Academic Researches of The Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Good Publication Practice Guidelines for Medical Journals of the Publication Ethic Committee at the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE), and ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals (http://icmje.org/recommendations/). In principle, J Korean Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry will not consider submissions that are currently being considered by another journal, but it is possible to make the second publishing, only if the above-mentioned requirements are met and the editors of the both journals consent to the second publishing. A submitted manuscript should go through a prescribed screening and the editorial board determines the publishing or not and publishing sequence and date. The publication and edition of the manuscript should be performed in accordance with the Academic Research Ethics Regulations of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Good Publication Practice Guidelines for Medical Journals, and the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals.
