I. Content and Publication Type
The The published articles are academic research papers in either Korean or English, and their topics include the magnetic theory, magnetic materials and their properties, magnetic recording materials and technology, spin electronics, measurements and applications, and other relevant topics.The papers in the Journal of the Korean Magnetics Society are classified into three categories; academic research articles, academic review articles, and technical reviews.

II. Research and Publication Ethics

For the policies on the research and publication ethics not stated in this instructions, International standards for editors and authors (http://publicationethics.org/international-standards-editor-and-authors) can be applied.
