2. Table titles must appear above the tables, while figure captions must appear below the figures.
3. When tables or figures are cited or adapted from other sources, the corresponding reference numbers must be provided.
4. Table titles and figure captions must follow the formatting requirements below.

Examples

• Figure 1. Structure of an Immersive Media-Based Learning Environment
• Table 1. General Characteristics of Research Participants

6. In-Text Citations

1. In-text citations must use reference numbers enclosed in square brackets [ ].
2. References must be numbered in the order in which they first appear in the main text, such as [1], [2], and [3]. The same reference number must be used for subsequent citations of the same source.

4. When an author's name is mentioned directly in the text, the corresponding reference number must be provided without indicating the publication year.

Citation Examples

• Immersive media can be used to promote learner immersion and interaction[1].
• Previous studies have reported the educational effectiveness of virtual reality-based learning environments[2]–[4].
• Sweller[2] suggested that cognitive load during problem solving may influence learning.

7. References

1. References must be numbered in the order in which they are first cited in the main text.
2. Each source must appear only once in the reference list, and the same reference number must be used whenever the source is cited again.

Author photographs and brief biographies must be provided at the end of the manuscript.

Each author biography must include the following information:

1. Author's name in Korean and English
2. Current institutional affiliation and position
3. Educational background, including degree completion years
4. Research interests

10. Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts for Peer Review

All information that could identify the authors must be removed from manuscripts submitted for peer review.

In particular, author names, institutional affiliations, and corresponding author information on the first page, as well as author photographs and biographies on the final page, must be removed. Any other information in the manuscript that could reveal the authors' identities must also be deleted before submission.
