The Review of Korean Studies is Going Biannual

 

The Review of Korean Studies (RKS) was founded in 1998 in order to advance
scholarly communication among Korean Studies scholars around the world. In
2004, the RKS switched to quarterly publication in order to accommodate the
burgeoning growth in the field and to allow publication in as broad a range
of scholarly topics as possible, spanning both traditional and contemporary
subjects.

After careful consideration over the past several months, the RKS Editorial
Board has decided to shift the journal from quarterly to biannual
publication, in order to allow greater selectivity in the articles accepted
for publication and to improve the journal’s comparative standing in the
field. 

Along with this change, several new sections are being added to expand our
coverage into an even wider range of fields in arts and humanities. We will
also be adding a feature titled “Korean Studies in Translation,” which is
intended to bring the best in contemporary Korean scholarship to an
international audience of scholars and students who may have less access to
Korean language materials. In addition, our existing feature “Materials
for Korean Studies,” which has heretofore been dedicated to introducing
major sources for different fields in Korean Studies, will be retitled
“Sources on Korean Studies” and will focus on publication of critical
primary sources and documents for the study of the history and culture of
Korea.

Each issue of the Review of Korean Studies will be published on the 1st of
June and December, respectively, with the same domestic price per volume of
10,000 Korean won. For international purchase and subscription, policies
have been revised as found the table below in consideration of delivery
costs and varied regional affordability. Subscribers who have already paid
for the year 2012 issues under our old policy will receive a free extension
of their subscriptions for the year 2013.

Because of this change in frequency of publication, our June issue will be
our next publication and we apologize to our subscribers who may have been
waiting for the March issue.
