The Korea Journal welcomes submissions of scholarly papers, book reviews or book notes that present new research and make a fresh contribution to the field of Korean Studies. Materials that have been previously published, accepted for publication, or  that are being considered for publication elsewhere will not be accepted.  

Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by three specialists in the contributor's field of study. Contributors will be informed of the results of the review within four months after submission. 

Please send one printed copy and an additional electronic copy on an IBM compatible floppy disk or as an e-mail attachment. Papers should be no longer than 7,000 words in English, including notes, tables, and figures. An abstract of 200 words or less and a curriculum vitae should also be submitted.

Papers must follow The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003). The Korea Journal uses the new Romanization System by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism (2000) for Korean terms; the pinyin system for Chinese; and the system used in the New Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Kenkyusha, 1990) for Japanese.

Additional guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts for submission to and publication in the Korea Journal are available upon request. Articles will be edited to conform to the Korea Journal style in matters of punctuation, capitalization, and the romanization of Korean names.

Minor changes may be made in the interest of clarity without consulting the authors.
