<p class="MsoNormal">I thank you all for your recent input regarding the
KS list. As some of the postings have suggested, I would agree that it is a
time for us to get back to usual scholastic discussion. When sending a request
for posting, the following text is a reminder to all of us. You can also go to

is an international, English-language, nonpartisan, moderated electronic
discussion group on Korea. The list welcomes academic discussions on any aspect
of Korean Studies. It may also be used for posting announcements of
publications, job vacancies, and so forth. However, the KoreanStudies list
adheres to strict academic standards and limits frequent participation to
academics and other professionals in Asian studies. Presently, the list has
over 2,000 subscribers, many of whom are established Korea specialists. Only
messages with substantial Korean Studies content or with content that will be
of wide interest within the discipline will be posted. Please also note that a
scholarly discussion list such as this should not be used as a source for
people's e-mail addresses, except as a last resort; discussion is the primary
purpose. Therefore, requests for bibliographical information or e-mail
addresses should be sent to the list only after all other means of search have
been exhausted. All postings will be permanently stored online. While the
KoreanStudies discussion list is similar to an academic seminar, open only to
those with a serious academic commitment to Korean Studies, its Mailing List
Archives as well as the <b><a href="http://koreanstudies.com/ks/ksr/" target="_blank">Korean Studies Review</a></b> (an electronic review journal of
works pertaining to Korean Studies) are available to all. Postings from this
forum may be quoted but, with the exception of job and conference announcements,
are not to be reprinted in full elsewhere without the express permission of the
author. In any case, we ask that proper credit be given to the author and to
the KoreanStudies list, and that the date of posting be given. <br>
<br>
The primary purpose of KoreanStudies is to enable Korea scholars to communicate
current research and teaching interests; to discuss new articles, books,
papers, approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to test new ideas and share
comments and tips on teaching. Relevant academic job announcements, and
fellowship announcements may also be posted. Organizers of conferences and
symposia in Asian Studies are encouraged to post calls for papers and program
contents. Similarly, we encourage graduate students to post abstracts of their
doctoral dissertations. Reports on new archival or bibliographic sources, new
software, datasets or CD-ROMs are also welcome.<br>
<br>
We emphasize that KoreanStudies is a moderated list. Posts are to be solid,
thoughtful, and to the point. The list moderators will screen all incoming
messages to eliminate "spam" and other inappropriate commercial
solicitations, private e-mail, messages that do not fit adequately into
scholarly debate. The size of image attachments is limited to 2 MB per posting.
Chitchat is to be kept to a minimum, as is disproportionate quotation of other
messages. We also discourage discussion so heated that it may be construed as
personal, and we will not publish messages that pursue debate in an overly
aggressive fashion or contain ad hominem attacks. Although we realize that this
is a controversial position, we maintain it because we believe that a
professional tone is conducive to academic inquiry—as well as to the comfort of
the subscribers of the moderated list. The list moderators will not censor
ideas that are presented, but we will do our utmost to ensure that clearly
irrelevant, unprofessional and impolite materials do not appear on the list. <br>
<br>
We do not edit incoming messages. However, if a message is accepted but
substantial editing is required, the message will be returned to the author
with a request for rewriting. <br>
<br>
Please note that while the list moderators' decision about messages is final
and list moderation policy will not be discussed on the list itself, the
moderators are happy to respond to concerns privately. <br>
<br>
Joining the KoreanStudies list entails agreement with the principles outlined
above.</span></p>

If I my express my thoughts on this matter. I do not think that there was anything per se wrong, or unprofessional, about raising these matters - either the various matters raised by Don Baker or the matters raised by Jiyul Kim, Balasz Szalontai, and others
- on this list. So, I do not agree with many posters here. </p>

However, I strongly agree that these discussions have gone on much too long on the list, and that there is nothing more to be gained from continuing these discussions in this forum.</p>

of the same or similar points. As a non-historian, but one who is still very much concerned with research ethics and who reads each KS post from top-to-bottom, publishing a book review is the appropriate vehicle for "public discussion of academic deception."</span>
