Sixty Four Pictures of KACA’s dinner meeting.

We hope everything is well with you and your family.

This is to remind you about KACA membership drive for 2010. For those who renew their membership and made contributions, KACA is deeply grateful for your support and generosity. For others, please renew your current membership or become a new member of KACA. Your dues are very important to continue to strengthen our programs, and to develop new and innovative projects to serve our members.

Here is our new membership information. If you have any questions regarding our new membership, please contact me at kwak@umich.edu.

The annual student membership fee ($10) remains the same, but there are now four categories for faculty members: regular ($20), silver ($40), gold ($70), and platinum (at least $100). Silver, gold, and platinum members will be recognized as such in all KACA publications. All of the additional income generated from these new membership categories will be maintained separately from KACA’s general operating account and used to support graduate student members in various venues, including scholarship, paper awards, and program support. Platinum members may contribute their membership dues to the graduate student program fund or to a special fund of their choice. Some popular choices may include a young scholars award fund, KACA graduate representative scholarship, and a research award in honor of someone you designate. These special funds will normally be spent during the membership year during which the funds are created.

We hope all of you are doing well and enjoying hot weather.
KACA has again created a board (www.kacanet.org/talk) to provide members with assistance connecting those who have reserved hotel rooms during the 2010 AEJMC convention/conference in Denver and those who are looking for a room to share.
If you are a room-holder or a room-seeker who would like to share a room but hasn’t found your roommate yet, post your request on the board (www.kacanet.org/talk) and contact those who show his/her interest in sharing the room with you.
To post your request or reply to any request, you need to register as a member. Registering is hassle free. It is simple and easy, and takes less than one minute. Click the word, “Register,” placed in the upper left-hand corner of the website and create your user id for the board.
We hope to see you all in Denver.

(*** Please remember that the message board (www.kacanet.org/talk) is created as a members-operated board, which means you need to contact (or be contacted) and find your roommate. KACA will not be involved in a roommate matching process.)

Established in 1977, Korean Studies is an annual peer-reviewed journal that seeks to further scholarship on Korea by providing a forum for discourse on a variety of scholarly topics through interdisciplinary and multicultural articles, book reviews, and essays in the humanities and social sciences.

All scholarly articles on Korea and the Korean community abroad are welcome, including topics of interest to the specialist and nonspecialist alike. The journal is invaluable for Korea specialists as well as those whose interests touch on Korea, the Korean community abroad, or Asian, ethnic, and comparative studies.

Guidelines for Submission of Manuscripts

Korean Studies is a multidisciplinary journal and encourages the submission of manuscripts with appeal across disciplines and a strong comparative component as well as manuscripts treating specialized topics. Authors are encouraged to consult recent issues of the journal for examples of style and formatting.

Manuscripts submitted to Korean Studies should be original articles not previously published elsewhere and should not be under review for publication by other journals.

Completed manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication should be sent by e-mail to:

Min-Sun Kim
Editor, Korean Studies
Center for Korean Studies

University of Hawaii at Manoa
1881 East-West Road
Honolulu, HI 96822
E-mail: kmin@hawaii.edu
Manuscript Formatting Criteria

File Formats. Electronic text files should be in Microsoft Word format; include a PDF file if using non-standard or non-roman characters such as han’gul or Sino-Korean characters. Low-resolution images and illustrations may be submitted for review purposes but must be replaced by images suitable for printing if accepted for publication. All images, tables, and figures must include titles or captions.

Permissions. Any necessary permissions or fees for the use of illustrations or other material subject to copyright are the responsibility of the author.

Length. Article manuscripts, including notes and references, should be no more than approximately thirty-five pages in length and generally no shorter than twenty pages.

Typing. Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout, prepared with Times or New Times Roman 12-point font and one-inch margins for all components, including extracts, notes, and references. Tables and illustrations should be prepared separately. Any necessary explanations or credits should appear in the illustration legends or as notes to the table. Notes to tables and illustrations should not be included in the numbering of the end notes to the text.

Transliteration. For the romanization of Korean, use the McCune-Reischauer system. For Chinese, use Pinyin; for Japanese, use Hepburn. Specialized articles in linguistics may alternatively use the Yale romanization system.

End Notes. Notes should be minimized to the extent possible and should appear at the end of the text, formatted as regular text rather than as embedded footnotes/endnotes.

Style. Korean Studies follows the Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition).

Title Page. Include title of manuscript, name, and institutional affiliation of each author, address for correspondence, and date of submission. The first page of the manuscript should not include the author’s name and should instead show only the title of the paper. Also, to ensure anonymity, the name of the author should not appear in the headers or footers of the manuscript.

Abstract. Include an abstract of approximately one hundred words at the beginning of the text.

Error! Filename not specified.
