• 4. Technical information: Technical information should provide new and practical information related to the areas of expertise in environmental engineering.
• 5. Field reports: Field reports should provide technically valuable data based on field experiences relevant to the investigation reports of realms of expertise in environmental engineering fields as well as on the design and maintenance of environmental facilities.
• 6. Special features: The Editorial Board selects topics and authors regarding proper assignments in the area of expertise related to environmental engineering and ultimately, requests such manuscripts.
• 7. Discussion: Discussion includes opinions, questions, and responses to the questions associated with the previous published papers of this journal. However, papers for discussion are limited to the ones that are published within the past 2 years.

Article 3. (Contributor requirement) Corresponding authors who submit manuscripts in the journal should be members of the Society with the exception of field reports, special features, and discussions.

Article 4. (Authorship)

1. An author should meet the following criteria for authorship:

• • Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
• • Drafting 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.

2. All authors should have agreed to their individual contributions before submitting the manuscript. Authorship statements should be formatted with the names of authors first and CRediT (the Contributor Roles Taxonomy from CASRAI roles) following: Conceptualization; Data curation; Data analysis; Funding acquisition; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Writing - original draft; Writing - review and editing.

Article 5. (Conflict of interest) Authors should declare competing interests. A competing interest (or ‘A conflict of interest’) may be a financial, commercial, legal, or professional relationship.

Article 6. (Similarity check) The Editorial Board may check the similarity of submitted manuscripts and reject those with high similarity.

Article 7. (Review)

• 1. The Editorial Board, which consists of members of the conference, should perform manuscript reviews and decided whether or not to accept manuscripts, publication orders, and printing systems for manuscripts published in the journal. The Editorial Board can request revisions without making major changes to the content of the manuscripts, if necessary, based upon the specified regulations for manuscript reviews.
• 2. When editorior board requests manuscript revision, authors must submit revised manuscript and reviewer comments form within provided period. If revised manuscript cannot be submitted within provided period, authors must request for extension to the editorior board. If the manuscript is not received in time without any request of a date extension, the author may be notified of the rejection after confirming the authors' intention to revise the manuscript.

Article 8. (Language and length of manuscripts)

• 1. Manuscripts can be written in either Korean or English. Less than 5 terms of the keywords should be added under the abstracts in Korean and English, respectively. Although Korean is recommended for Korean manuscripts, Chinese characters or English are allowed to be utilized for complicated words or for words that would be hard to express in Korean, such as names, names of locations, names of journals, nomenclature, and names of substances.
• 2. Manuscripts should be written in A4 (210×297mm) using a word processor (.doc, .hwp). The number of pages in the manuscripts is not limited, but should be within a range of 8 pages (one-sided) of the printing pages (2 pages of a manuscript with any Korean myongjo-font type, font 11, and 200% space are approximately 1 page of printing page, without tables and figures). Manuscripts can be changed for the sake of authors' convience.

Article 9. (Manuscript format)

• 1. The cover of all manuscripts (the first page) should include the title, full names of researchers, institutional affiliations of researchers, positions and ORCID (Open Researchers and Contributors ID) in both Korean and English, regardless of the language used in the text. If the affiliations of the authors are different, authors with different affiliations from the first author should be marked with a superscript numeral designation on the upper right of the researchers’ names. The primary author is the first author and the corresponding authors are marked with a symbol† on the upper right of the names.
• 2. The manuscript should be assigned in the following sequence: Cover page, abstract in English, abstract in Korean (not required for international authors), introduction, methods (or materials and methods), results, discussion (or results and discussion), conclusions, acknowledgements, explanation of abbreviations, references, tables, and figures.
• 3. Extended abstract in Korean (may be omitted if an English paper is prepared) and English should provide the objectives, methods, results and discussion, and conclusions within one and half pages. However, abstracts in Korean and English may be omitted for special features, technical notes, technical information, and field reports.
• 4. Text (introduction to conclusion) should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order to separate the text concisely, as shown in the example below.
  e.g.) 1, 2, 3, ……, 1.1, 1.2, ……, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ……, (1), (2), (3), ……
• 5. Academic words are recommended for utilization within the text. Proper nouns and quantities should be expressed in native languages and Arabic numerals, respectively. In general, the utilization of the SI system is recommended; yet, the C.G.S.system can also be used for a widely utilized concentration unit, such as mg/L.

Article 10. (Tables and figures preparation)

• 1. Titles and footnotes of tables and figures should be written in English and include sufficient information without referring to the text. They should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (e.g.: Table1, Table 2, Fig. 1, Fig. 2). All tables and figures should be included in separate papers from the text. In addition, the locations of tables and figures should be notified in the text as well.
• 2. The first letter of the title in a table should be capitalized and the rest of them should be written in the same manners as the other sentences, with punctuations.
  e.g.) Table 1. Effect of temperature on BOD removal efficiency.
• 3. The first letter of the title in a figure should be capitalized and the rest of them should be written in the same manners as the other sentences with punctuations.
  e.g.) Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of experimental set-up used for biological wastewater treatment.

Article 11. (Reference Styles)

References must be numbered consecutively in order of first appearance in the text and should be given in a separate double-spaced list. Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:

• • Negotiation research spans many disciplines [1].
• • This result was later contradicted by the following research [2, 3, 4].
• • This effect has been widely studied [3-6, 9].

The list of references should only include works that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. List all authors if there are six or fewer authors. A DOI is guaranteed never to change, thus use of DOI is highly encouraged. An example of the correct citation format for an article in EER is as follows:
