KCS Publications uses CrossCheck’s iThenticate software to detect instances of similarity in submitted manuscripts. Your manuscript may be screened for similarity to published material.
Authors are required to submit manuscript materials electronically using KCSnet Editorial System (KES) available at https://journal.kcsnet.or.kr/main/j_myjournal/login.htm?qpage=login.
Manuscripts should be prepared with one of the following Templates ( Communication / Article / Account / Review ). It is strongly recommended that all figures and schemes are assembled in a Microsoft Power Point 2003 (or a later version) file.

These data can be obtained free of charge via http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/conts/retrieving. html or from CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK, email: deposit@ccdc.cam.ac.uk (or FIZ, D-76344, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany, e-mail: crysdata@fizkarlsruhe.de).
BKCS publishes four types of articles: Highlights, Communications, Articles and Notes.
Highlights are short instructive descriptions of recently achieved important results dealt by a third person. The length of highlight should not exceed two printed pages including short descriptions with essential formula, schemes of figures.
Communications report preliminary results whose immediate availability to the scientific community is deemed important and whose topic is timely enough to justify rapid publication. The length of a Communication should not exceed 2 printed pages. A Communication is not preceded by an abstract.
Articles should cover the subject matter thoroughly and clearly. They should be concise, avoiding unnecessary historical references. Articles should include an abstract briefly stating the objectives of the study or research, significant results, and major conclusions. The abstract should not exceed 150 words.
Notes are shorter reports in full on significant work of a more limited scope. The length of a Note should not exceed 4 printed pages. Notes are not preceded by abstracts.
Accounts are written by scientists personally responsible for a larger extent of the research described and are directed to a broad range of scientists who wish to keep abreast of the current research. Most accounts are submitted after invitation by the Editor-in-Chief, but unsolicited manuscripts are also considered. Length of manuscript is guided in the range of 6-10 print pages.
Comments include significant remarks on the work of others. The length of a Comment should not exceed 1200 words. Comments are not preceded by abstracts. The editors generally permit the authors of the work being discussed to reply.
Author(s) should make the necessary corrections with respect to comments given by reviewers and upload the revised manuscript via the KCSnet Editorial System within a specified time limit provided by the Associate Editor. Manuscripts being not returned within two months after the revision decision will be considered withdrawn. Please include with the revised manuscript a cover letter that explains which changes were made, and write your responses to the reviewers’ comments point-by-point so that the editor can decide whether the responses are appropriate.
Please be sure that you retain a copy of your revised manuscript for your record.
PDF files of galley proofs and instructions for reviewing the proofs will be sent directly to the corresponding author(s). The corresponding authors should download the proof, make appropriate corrections on the proof, and return it with the other required forms as soon as possible to BKCSproofs@wiley-vch.de. Substantial changes in an article after it has been set in type are made at the author’s expense.
The filled reprint form must be returned with the proof, and if a price quotation is required by the author’s organization, such a request should accompany the proof. Reprint shipments may take a month or more after publication.
When your manuscript is decided to be published, we will request you to pay for the page charges. Publication of your paper will be postponed until the charges are fully paid.
Details on the publication fee waiver for foreign authors can be found in the following attachments.
The Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society will be co-published with Wiley-VCH from 2015 towards. The online version of the Journal will thus be available on Wiley Online Library, Wiley(-VCH)'s global online platform.
