All contributions in the journal are peer-reviewed.
Essays should be written in good English and not require further corrections. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. A length of approximately 10,000 words is preferred for an article, and approximately 1,500 words for a book-review. The author's name, mailing address, email address, as well as the title of the manuscript should appear on the cover sheet. An abstract of more than 150 words, a glossary with about 100 Romanized East Asian terms and references should be included in the paper. Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. An up-to-date curriculum vitae should also be included in the manuscript.

The SJEAS in general follows the Chicago Manual of style; however, the journal's own style predominates and therefore contributors are suggested to observe and follow the SJEAS's text convention closely. Manuscripts can be sent either as a MS word file or a HWP word file.



Citations

1.) The preferred style of reference is parenthetical citation by author and date.
     For example, (Smith 2000, 80).
2.) In parenthetical citations, the surname of the author (or authors' surnames connected by "and" if two
     authors, or the first author's surname followed by "et al." If more than two authors) and year of
     publication and page numbers should be given, e.g., (Barfield 1989), (Franke and Twichett 1994,
     35-39), (Kim et al. 1994, 118), or according to Kim (2001, 112).
3.) Where more than one reference is cited, they should be placed with the oldest date first, e.g., (Fletcher
     1968, 210; Barfield 1989; Mote 1999, 125). If more than one reference by the same author is cited, the
     name need not be repeated. For example, (Kim 1983, 1987a, 1987b, 1991; Yi 1995). If more than one
     author listed in the references has the same surname; the full name should be cited to avoid confusion.
     For example, (Kang Man'gil 2004).
4.) Footnotes should be kept to an absolute minimum and are reserved for and restricted to only those
     explications that cannot be readily fit into the narrative text. Footnotes may contain parenthetical
     citations to other published works, with the full bibliographic entries appearing in the bibliography.



Romanization

The SJEAS uses the following systems of Romanization.

Korean- The New Official Government System, (2000) is preferred;
               however, the McCune-Reischauer System is also accepted. Since two systems cannot be
               used concurrently, only one system should be used throughout an article.

Japanese- The transcription used in Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary
                   (3rd and later editions).

Chinese- The pinyin system as found in the Xiandai hanyu cidian published by the institute of the
                Chinese Academy of Science (Beijing Shangwuyin Shuguan, 1978).
