Call for Papers: 
Articles and Proposals for Thematic Issues 
 
The Review of Korean Studies (RKS) 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. RKS was first published in 1998 and became a quarterly journal registered with the Korea Research Foundation in January 2004. RKS is widely recognized by scholars as one of the leading English-language journals in the Korean Studies field. 
 
RKS is currently soliciting articles from potential authors in any field of Korean Studies for publication in future issues of the journal. Articles must conform to the RKS Guidelines for Contributors and successfully complete the peer-review process. In addition, we also welcome proposals from guest editors to organize thematic articles for publication in 2012. Theme issues will typically include 3-5 research articles and a short introduction to the theme by the guest editor. 
 
1. Prospective Publication Dates and Peer Review
