The Review of Korean Studies is a peer-reviewed, academic journal published in English by the Academy of Korean Studies. Its goal is to stimulate dialogue and exchange ideas, theories, and perspectives among Koreanists in both Asia and the West, by publishing cutting-edge articles in all subfields of Korean Studies. Especially, we welcome research articles on premodern Korean Studies which have been less discussed and introduced in the Korean Studies field.
Since its first publication in 1998, the journal has been biannually published in June and December. As of 2023, the journal has totally changed to an open access journal under a CC-BY-ND license in order to enhance dissemination of the research works published in the journal home and abroad.
The journal is indexed in Scopus, ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index in Web of Science Core Collection), KCI, MLA International Bibliography, and BAS (Bibliography of Asian Studies).
There is neither article processing charges nor submission fees for any submitted or accepted articles.
The copyrights of published articles in the journal are transferred to the publisher. The articles will be distributed under the CC-BY-ND license, which means that anyone may freely distribute, use, and reuse the published articles, provided that the authors and the journal as the source are acknowledge, whereas the work may not be altered, transformed, or serve as the basis for a derivative work.
