Call for Papers: 

Articles, Proposals for Thematic Issues, 
and Primary Sources on Korean Studies

 

The Review of Korean Studies (RKS) is a peer-reviewed, academic journal
published in English by The Academy of Korean Studies biannually. Since its
first publication in 1998, the RKS has been striving to stimulate dialogue
and promote the exchange of ideas, theories, and perspectives among
Koreanists in both Asia and the West, by publishing cutting-edge articles
in all subfields of Korean Studies. 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 the following sections of the journal for
December 2013 and future issues of the journal. 

The paper should be an unpublished original work of the author(s) and not
under consideration for publication elsewhere. Book reviews, extended
review articles, reports on significant academic events and other issues
relevant to Korean studies may also be submitted.
