Editorial Policy
The Journal of Bacteriology and Virology (JBV) publishes the manuscripts of review articles, research articles, rapid communications, and Letters to the Editor describing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other micro-organisms and their interactions with host and other related fields.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal must represent reports of original research results. Any results previously reported, submitted to other journal(s), incomplete results or preliminary data are not considered for publication.
All manuscripts are assigned to one of the editors, and then considered to be confidential for further review. Two external qualified reviewers entrusted by each editor review manuscripts. A decision is made as to whether or not they are acceptable for publication using this process based on scientific merit. At this time, the editorial board has the authority to ask for revisions or additional corrections for format, quality, originality, clarity, etc. if necessary.
Publication charges: Manuscripts less than six pages are currently charged 100,000 won, and 20,000 won for each additional page in excess of 6. Corresponding authors are required to pay an extra non-profit expense for color illustrations or special prints when required by authors. Reprints of the articles in multiples of 50 are available to the authors for a cost. Review papers are not subjected to page charge.
When the manuscript is accepted and scheduled for publication, corresponding authors must transfer copyrights to The Korean Society for Microbiology or The Korean Society for Virology by signing a copyright transfer agreement. The agreement letter signed by authors should be returned to the Editorial Board before publication.
These Instructions to Authors are effective from the Number 1 of Volume 31, of the JBV issued in the year of 2001.
Manuscript Preparation and Submission

The manuscript type should be a single and half spaced throughout the references, tables, footnotes, and figure legends sections with a minimal margin of 2.5 cm all around an A4 size paper. All pages of the manuscripts should be numbered in sequence starting from the title page as number 1
Start each section on a separate sheet and edit the manuscripts in the following order
(1) Cover letter: The manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter including title of the manuscript, name of the corresponding author, complete names of institutes, addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses of the corresponding authors and a short summary.
(2) Title Page: The title page should contain the title of the manuscript, names of the authors, corresponding authors indicated by asterisk, complete names of all institutes and their addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding authors with a short running title (less than 5 words).
(3) Abstract: The abstract should be written in English, contain no more than 250 words, and be presented succinctly and clearly for the purposes, methods and procedures, and significant results of the experiments. A list of less than five key words should also be included at the bottom of the abstract page.
(4) Introduction: The introduction should state a brief background, other works in the same field, and the purpose of the investigation. In order to report any personal designs for special experimental procedures, authors should justify their own techniques by elucidating related results or theoretical background. The introduction, however, does not need to include experimental results in detail.
(5) Materials and Methods: The materials and methods section should include sufficient technical information stated clearly to facilitate repeated experiments. For commonly used materials and methods, a simple reference of the original paper is sufficient. New methods should be described completely and sources, compositions, companies, and characteristics of unusual materials should be given in detail. The names of species, genotype, restriction enzymes, etc should be typed in italics.
(6) Results: The results section should include clear experimental results and short conclusions that come directly from acceptable rationales. Reserve extensive interpretation of the results or expecting results based on the hypothesis for the discussion section of the manuscript.
(7) Discussion: The discussion section should provide a reasonable interpretation based on the experimental results to the conclusions in relation to previously published works. Authors are encouraged to describe the comparative analyses between the results and possible conclusions based on their rationale of the present study. It should not contain extensive repetition of the results section or reiteration of the introduction.
(8) Acknowledgements: Acknowledgements should be placed between the text and reference sections of manuscripts. Acknowledge financial assistance and personal assistance in short paragraphs. The usual format for grant support is as follows: "This work was supported by Basic Research Grant GE-016-2 from Korea Academic Foundation."
(9) References: See section 7.
(10) Figure legend: See section 8.
(11) Figure: See section 9.
(12) Table: See section 10.
Submission: Submit one hard copy of manuscript and a diskette containing the whole text, figures and tables directly to one of the three Journal Departments (Bacteriology, Virology, Immunology) of the JBV. The Cover Letter should be accompanied with the submission. Once a manuscript is accepted, the author(s) will be requested to submit a final version of the manuscript on diskette or via electronic mail.
Abbreviations and Unit: All abbreviations used in the text repeatedly should be fully described when used at first, and introduced in parentheses. Abbreviations are not allowed in the title. It is possible to use international or standard symbols or units without any additional descriptions. (Example: μl, ml, μg, U, h, min, sec, ℃, Ci, cpm, etc). Isotope-labeled chemicals or compounds should be typed in the chemical formula (e.g., 14CO2, [14C]-urea, [methyl- 14C]-methionine).

References: Arrange the references in alphabetical order by first author and number consecutively. Put the references in Korean first and then follow with references in foreign languages. All references cited in the text should appear by serial number at parentheses ( ). Journal names in the reference section should be abbreviated in accordance with International Academic Regulation (refer to Medline format).

Figure Legend: In any cases of manuscripts, figure legend should be described in English on a separate sheet according to the order of figures. Figure legends should contain a single key sentence and descriptions in detail. Every symbol should be defined.
Figures: Place each figure on a separate page. Figures or photographs should be submitted at the highest quality. They should be well developed or printed on a high glossy photo paper for the best reproduction. When line drawing is necessary in figures, use standard symbols (○, ●, □ , ■, △, ▲) in preference. Tag each figure with its own order number (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ---). Attach the figures to the end of the original manuscript with special care for safe delivery.
Tables: Tables are numbered in the order of appearance in the text. Every table should have clear and succinct headings on the top. Explanatory footnotes should be placed below the table and are designated by superscript lowercase letters in italics (in italics) (a, b, c, d ---, listed in order of location when the table is read horizontally). Tables, very complex or hard to reproduce by hand typing, should be submitted in "camera-ready" form at the highest quality.
The corresponding author is responsible for the revision and correction of the manuscript to minimize any typographical or grammatical errors before submission. When asked by the editor or reviewer, authors are responsible for any comments or suggestions for further revises or corrections, and must report all changes to the editorial board according to the format.
Submit manuscripts directly to an Associate Editor (Bacteriology, Virology, and Immunology). The Associate Editor will entrust manuscripts to the editor, a member of the editorial board who will be quite acquainted with the work for the review processes. The editor will communicate with corresponding author if necessary.
