Suggestions for Contributors
Korean Studies is a multidisciplinary journal and encourages the submission of manuscripts with appeal across disciplines and manuscripts with a strong comparative component as well as those treating specialized topics. Authors are encouraged to consult recent issues of the journal for examples of style and formatting.
Manuscripts submitted to Korean Studies should be original articles not previously published elsewhere and should not be under review for publication elsewhere.
Completed manuscripts, inquiries about material for possible publication, and correspondence to the editor should be sent to:
Hagen Koo
Department of Sociology
University of Hawaii at Manoa
Honolulu, HI 96822
E-Mail: hagenkoo@hawaii.edu
Telephone: (808) 956-8248
Inquiries, manuscripts, and images should be submitted electronically to the editor at hagenkoo@hawaii.edu. Electronic text files should be in Microsoft Word format; include a PDF file if using non-standard or non-roman characters such as han'gul or Sino-Korean characters. Low-resolution images and illustrations may be submitted for review purposes but must be replaced by images suitable for printing if accepted for publication. All images, tables, and figures must include titles or captions.
Any necessary permissions or fees for the use of illustrations or other material subject to copyright are the responsibility of the author.
If electronic submission is not possible, manuscripts may be mailed to Editor, Korean Studies, Center for Korean Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1881 East-West Road, Honolulu, HI 96822.
Article manuscripts, including notes and references, should be no more than approximately thirty-five pages in length and must include a 100-word abstract at the beginning of the text.
Korean Studies conducts double-blind peer reviews of all manuscripts. For this reason, authors’ names should be omitted from the manuscript, including running heads and footers.
Manuscripts must be double-spaced and prepared with 12-point type and one-inch margins for all components, including extracts, notes, and references. Letter-size (8.5 x 11 in.) paper is preferred, but A4 is acceptable.
Notes should be minimized to the extent possible and should appear at the end of the text, formatted as regular text rather than as embedded footnotes/endnotes.
For the romanization of Korean, use the McCune-Reischauer system. For Chinese, use Pinyin; for Japanese, use Hepburn. Specialized articles in linguistics may alternatively use the Yale romanization system.
Paper manuscript submissions are acceptable if electronic submission is not possible. In this case, please submit three copies of the manuscript.
The editor is responsible for the selection of manuscripts for Korean Studies and reserves the right to reject any material deemed inappropriate for publication.
