The “Journal of Ocean Engineering and Technology” (JOET) was launched in 1987 and is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year by “The Korean Society of Ocean Engineers (KSOE).” Its ISO abbreviation is “J. Ocean Eng. Technol.” JOET publishes original research articles, technical articles, and review articles on all aspects of ocean engineering, including experimental, theoretical, numerical, and field observations. All manuscripts undergo peer-review by two or more reviewers.

The scope of JOET encompasses the following research areas:

- Ships and offshore engineering:

Design of ships and offshore structures; Resistance and propulsion; Seakeeping and maneuvering; Experimental and computational fluid dynamics; Ocean wave mechanics; Fatigue strength; Plasticity; Optimization and reliability; Arctic technology and extreme mechanics; Noise, vibration, and acoustics; Concrete engineering; Thermodynamics and heat transfer; Hydraulics and pneumatics; Autonomous and unmanned ship; Greenship technology; Digital twin of ships and offshore structures; Marine materials

- Coastal engineering:

Coastal, port, and harbor structures; Waves transformation; Coastal and estuary hydrodynamics; Sediment transport and morphological change; Subsea geotechnics; Coastal groundwater management; Prevention or mitigation of coastal disaster; Coastal zone development and management; Shore protection technique; Coastal environmental process; Beach safety

- Ocean energy engineering:
