Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

1. Manuscript Submission and Publication

• 1) Manuscripts published in East Asian Studies cover research related to the East Asian region and comparative studies between East Asia and other regions. Manuscripts must be of a clearly academic nature, including research articles, book reviews, research notes, and translations. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously submitted to or published in other academic journals.
• 2) The Institute publishes East Asian Studies twice a year, on January 31 and July 31. Manuscripts may be submitted year-round. In principle, manuscripts should be received at least two months before the publication date, although the Editor-in-Chief may extend this deadline.
• 3) Authors must submit a Manuscript Submission Form, a Research Ethics Pledge, and a Copyright Transfer Agreement.
• 4) Submitted manuscripts undergo a confidential review process and are classified as Accept, Accept after Revision, Resubmit after Revision, or Reject.
• 5) Manuscripts confirmed for publication after the review process must include the following:
  • (1) Title in Korean and English
  • (2) Author name in Korean and English (for multiple authors: First Author, Second Author, Corresponding Author)
  • (3) Affiliation, position, and contact information: institution name, department, position, email address
  • (4) Approximately 5 keywords in Korean and English
  • (5) Korean abstract (approximately 400 characters)
  • (6) English abstract (approximately 200 words)
  • (7) Author biography in Korean and English
• 6) Manuscripts must be prepared according to the following guidelines. Manuscripts that do not comply will be returned to the author for revision.

2. General Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

• 1) Manuscripts should be within 150 sheets of 200-character manuscript paper, including main text, footnotes, and references. Manuscripts exceeding the limit may be required to revise before review, or additional fees may apply after acceptance.
• 2) To maintain anonymity during review, authors should avoid any mention in the text or notes that could identify the author.
• 3) Section numbering follows the sequential format: I, 1, (1). Tables and figures are numbered as "<Table 1>..." and "<Figure 1>..." respectively.
• 4) Footnotes should be used sparingly and kept brief, only when supplementary explanation is necessary.
• 5) Citations in the text and footnotes should be indicated briefly in parentheses, with full bibliographic details included in the Reference List at the end of the manuscript. Detailed rules for citations and references follow Sections 3 and 4 below.
• 6) Acknowledgments or funding sources may be noted in a separate footnote to the upper right of the title, only for manuscripts confirmed for publication.
• 7) Author affiliation and position are indicated with asterisk (*) footnotes to the upper right of the author name. For multiple authors, use *, **, *** in order (First Author*, Second Author**, Corresponding Author***).

3. Citation Format

• 1) Citations should be placed in parentheses at appropriate locations in the text and footnotes, including the author's surname (or full name for Korean and Chinese names written in Korean), publication year, and page number if necessary.
• 2) Specific examples:
  • (1) When the author's name appears in the text, place the publication year in parentheses.
    e.g.: ...Hong (1996) argued...
    For foreign-language sources, include the romanized surname and publication year together in parentheses.
    e.g.: ...Moore (1966)...
  • (2) When the author's name does not appear in the text, include the surname and publication year in parentheses.
    e.g.: ...(Hong 1992)... or ...(Moore 1966)...
  • (3) Page numbers follow the publication year after a comma, with only the number indicated.
    e.g.: ...(Anderson 1979, 56)... or ...(Heo 1990, 12)...
  • (4) For works with two or more authors, list only one author's name followed by "et al."
    e.g.: ...(Shin et al. 1991, 35-36)...
  • (5) When citing multiple works at once, separate them with semicolons within a single set of parentheses.
    e.g.: ...(Cumings 1981, 72; Heo 1990, 35; Hong 1990, 18)...
  • (6) For unsigned newspaper or magazine articles, include the publication name, date (Year/Month/Day; Year/Month for monthlies), and page number in parentheses.
    e.g.: ...(JoongAng Ilbo 1993/04/08, 5)... or ...(Shin Dong-A 1993/02, 233)...
  • (7) For forthcoming manuscripts, use "forthcoming." For unpublished manuscripts, indicate the year of writing. If no year is available, use "n.d."
    e.g.: ...Tilly (forthcoming)...; ...Hong (unpublished)...; ...Jones (n.d.)...
  • (8) For institutional authors, provide identifiable information.
    e.g.: ...(Institute of Foreign Affairs and National Security 1992)...

4. Reference List Guidelines

• 1) The Reference List should include full bibliographic details of all works cited in the text and footnotes. Works not cited should not be included.
• 2) References are arranged in the following order: Korean-language sources, other East Asian-language sources (Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian, etc.), and Western-language sources in Roman script.
• 3) Korean author names are arranged alphabetically by surname in Korean order; other East Asian-language author names include romanized pronunciation in parentheses and are arranged in Korean alphabetical order; Roman-script author names are arranged in alphabetical order.
• 4) Entries are listed in the order: author name, publication year, title of article or book, place of publication and publisher, separated by periods.
  • Hong, Gildong and Jang, Gilsan. 1996. A Study of Joseon Outlaws. Seoul: Gaebyeoksa.
  • Bell, Daniel. 1973. The Coming of Post-Industrial Society: A Venture in Social Forecasting. New York: Basic Books.
• 5) Multiple works by the same author are arranged chronologically. If two or more works were published in the same year, they are distinguished by appending a, b, c after the year in the order they are cited.
• 6) Each reference should follow the specific formats shown in the examples below.

  - Article and essay titles are enclosed in double quotation marks (" "); book titles are italicized for Indo-European languages, or enclosed in double angle brackets (『 』) for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Classical Chinese.

  - Each reference entry uses a five-space hanging indent from the first line.
