Call for MANUSCRIPTS
On October 12, 2009, Thomson Reuters announced the selection of North Korean Review (NKR) for inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Many fine journals have been in existence for decades but have yet to be chosen for indexing in the prestigious SSCI. NKR made it in just five short years. Library Journal recommends that most public and university libraries subscribe to NKR in order to provide relevant information and analysis about the strategic role of North Korea in Northeast Asia. The mission of NKR, the only English-language journal in the world that focuses on North Korea, is to provide a forum for greater understanding of North Korean internal affairs and external relations with the United States and other countries. NKR addresses these issues in a new and unique way, through the lens of focused research, analysis, and dissemination of information. North Korean Review provides academic subscribers and policymakers with a more complex look at North Korea’s culture, history, economics, politics, religion, and international relations than is otherwise available to them through mainstream sources. And now, NKR is indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index making it even more important to subscribe and contribute to this cutting edge journal. For the articles in the fields of economics and management, send them to Suk H. Kim at ink@udmercy.edu. And for the works in the fields of political science, international relations and sociology, send them to Mikyoung Kim at mkkim@peace.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp. Questions?
