About the Journal

The KJEB (official abbreviation: Korean J. Environ. Biol.; Korean name: 환경생물) is the official journal of the Korean Society of Environmental Biology (KOSEB). The KJEB was launched in 1983 and published once a year until 1985. Thanks to KOSEB’s continuous growth, the KJEB has gradually developed, with publications twice a year from 1986 to 1997 and four times a year from 1998 to the present. The KJEB is issued regularly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and has been listed on the Korea Citation Index (KCI) of the National Research Foundation of Korea since 2018. The KJEB publishes papers in Korean and English. Korean papers provide titles, contributions to environmental biology, abstracts, tables, and figures in English so that foreign readers can understand the research results. Papers published in KJEB are freely accessible online to anyone from the journal’s homepage, regardless of KOSEB membership, to facilitate the dissemination and sharing of research findings.
