Manuscript preparation

Manuscripts should be typed in double-spaced with adequate margins. All manuscript must use SI (metric) units in the text, figures, or tables. Manuscripts should be organized in the following order: title, name(s) of author(s) and his/her (their) complete affiliation(s) including zip code(s), Abstract (not exceeding 200 words), Introduction, Main body of paper, Acknowledgements, References, Appendices, Table & Figure Captions, Tables and Figures.

• Title: The title of the paper should be concise and definitive.
• Author names and affiliations: Author name should consist of first name (or initial), middle initial, and last name. The author affiliation should consist of the following, as applicable, in the order noted:
  Company or college (with department name or company division), Postal address, City, state, zip code Country name (only for countries other than the U.S.), Telephone, fax, and e-mail
• Abstract: An abstract (200 words maximum) should open the paper or brief. The purposes of the abstract are:
  • 1. To give a clear indication of the objective, scope, and results so that readers may determine whether the full text will be of particular interest to them.
  • 2. To provide key words and phrases for indexing, abstracting, and retrieval purposes.
• Body: The original typescript should be submitted electronically in A4 size format, with a word count of 5000 (excluding figures), following the submission requirements described on the Journal's website. A final paper which would exceed of 5000 words or occupy more than 10 pages of the Journal may be returned for abridgement.
• Equations: All mathematical equations should be clearly printed/typed using well accepted explanation. Superscripts and subscripts should be typed clearly above or below the base line. Equation numbers should be given in Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right-hand margin. They should be cited in the text as, for example, Eq. (1), or Eqs. (1)-(3).
• Tables: All tables should be numbered consecutively and have a caption consisting of a table number and a brief title. This number should be used when referring to the table in text. Table references should be included within the text in numerical order according to their order of appearance. Tables should be inserted as part of the text as close as possible to its first reference ? with the exception of those tables included at the end of the paper as an appendix. A separate list of table numbers and their respective captions should be included at the end of the paper (for production purposes only).
• Figures: All figures (graphs, line drawings, photographs, etc.) should be numbered consecutively and have a caption consisting of the figure number and a brief title or description of the figure. This number should be used when referring to the figure in text. Figure references should be included within the text in numerical order according to their order of appearance. Figures should be referenced within the text as "Fig. 1." When the reference to a figure begins a sentence, the abbreviation "Fig." should be spelled out, e.g., "Figure 1." A separate list of figure numbers and their respective captions should be included at the end of the paper (for production purposes only).
• Reference: Within the text, references should be cited in numerical order according to their order of appearance. The numbered reference citation within text should be indicated with half-parenthesis in superscripts.

Example: It was shown by Moon1)that the fracture toughness decreases under these conditions. In the case of two citations, the numbers should be separated by a comma 1,2).In the case of more than two references, the numbers should be separated by a dash 3,4,5-7). All references should be listed at the end of the manuscripts, arranged in order. Reference to journal articles and papers in serial publications should include:

• Initials name of each author
• Full title of the cited article, title capitalization
• Abbreviation name of the journal
• Volume number (if any) (Do not include the abbreviation, "Vol.")
• Issue number (if any) in parentheses (Do not include the abbreviation, “No.”)
• Year of publication
• nclusive page numbers of the cited article (Do not include the abbreviation, “pp.”)
• Number of DOI (if any)
  The exemplary form of listed references is as follows:
  • (1)Journal : Author, Title, Journal, Volume(Number) (Year) Page. S. W. Kim and C. K. Chun, Trend of DED type Additive Manufacturing Technology for Titanium, J. Weld. Join. 35(4) (2017) 327-332.

  References, including those pending publications in well-known journals or pertaining to private communications, not readily available to referees and readers will not be acceptable if the understanding of any part of the submitted paper is dependent upon them. In the text the reference should be numbered in bracket in ascending order, e.g. 1),2), etc.

Publication type

• Review paper : Review articles undergo full peer review. A Review Article organizes, clarifies, and summarizes existing major works in science and engineering and provides comprehensive citations to a full spectrum of relevant literatures.
• Special issue : Special issue articles undergo full peer review. A special issue article reports results that are of significant and archival value to the engineering community; however, these works are more limited in scope and length than a research paper. A special issue may contain any of the following: 1. preliminary report of a result not yet fully developed or interpreted; and 2. commentary on a technical issue of potential interest to readers.
• Research paper : Research papers undergo full peer review. A research paper is a full-length, technically original research document that reports results of major and archival value to the specific community of engineers that comprise the journal audience.

Galley proofs will be provided as a pdf file to the author with reprint order and copyright transfer form. The author should return the corrected galley proofs within a week with the signed reprint order and copyright transfer form. Attention of the authors is directed to the instructions which accompany the proof, especially the requirement that all corrections, revisions, and additions be entered on the proofs and not on the manuscripts. Proofs should be carefully checked and returned to the Journal of Welding and Joining (JWJ) editorial office by online or e-mail if the changes are minimal. If the changes are extensive, proofs should be returned by fax only. Substantial changes in an article at this stage may be made at the author’s expense. The reprint request form must be returned with the proof. Neither the editor nor the JWJ office keeps any supply of reprints.

Peer review process

Submitted manuscripts will be sent to peer reviewers, unless they are either out of scope or below the quality threshold for the journal, or the presentation or written English is of an unacceptably low standard. A manuscript that meets this standard is sent to anonymous reviewers for peer review. Once the editorial office receives complete reviews, the associate editor and editor makes a decision and the corresponding author is informed of the editorial decision by e-mail. The editor selects referees results of the review will be classified as follows:

• Accepted: The manuscript will be forwarded to the publisher without further corrections.
• Minor revisions: The author should address the comments from the reviewers, which will be confirmed by the reviewers before being sent to the publisher.
• Major revisions: The author should address the comments from the reviewers and make the appropriate corrections for further review by the reviewers.
• Rejection: When majority of the reviewers recommends not to publish, the manuscript will be rejected by the editorial committee.
• Consultation: Review of the manuscript will be forwarded to further consultation to subcommittees and subspecialties.

Manuscripts reviewed that require revision should be revised and uploaded with a response to the reviewers’ comment at JWJ editorial manager within two months. Otherwise, the manuscript will be considered as a new manuscript when and if it is resubmitted. And disputes or ethical issues raised during or after the publication should follow the guidelines found at http://publicationethics.org/resources/international-standards-for-editors-and-authors
