The manuscript should be submitted in Microsoft Word. Because the final version should be between 11 and 25 pages in length including figures, tables, pictures, and references, the manuscript should not exceed 7,500 words or 40,000 characters. | ||||||||
The first page should include: | ||||||||
1. A title that adequately represents the subject matter and theme of the submission and specifies the appropriate geographical 2. The name(s) of the author(s), current academic or other affiliation(s), email address(es), and, in the case of multiple authors, an 3.

All figures and, separately, all tables should be consecutively numbered in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) in order of appearance and referenced in the text. | ||||||||
The title of a figure is placed at the bottom of the figure, while the title of a table is placed at the top of the table. Authors are strongly encouraged to use colors in figures, tables, and photos to enhance legibility and clarity. | ||||||||
The reference for issues of style and presentation for this journal is the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017). Except in titles or quotations that may observe the original author’s choices, the spelling of English-language words and other presentation issues in which British and U.S. styles may differ (for example, the use of double- vs. single-quotation marks) should follow standard American practice. | ||||||||
For references and citations the journal uses the author-date format alternative as specified in the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (2017). An exception from standard Chicago Manual presentation is for Korean authors with standard three-syllable names. Due to the nature of written Korean and the limited number of common Korean family names, house style for the journal allows full names within parenthetical citations; e.g., a proper citation within a Korean-language article, or its translation, to an article by Park Jung-hwan would be (Park Jung-hwan 2018) rather than (Park 2018). | ||||||||
All references and citations are to be presented in the Korean Hangeul alphabet or the Roman alphabet. For English-language submissions, sources in other scripts (for example, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Greek, Arabic, or Hebrew) should be transliterated. For Korean-language submissions, house style allows that, at the author(s)’ discretion, sources in other scripts may be presented in the original format. | ||||||||
The list of references following the text is presented in one section (English-language submissions) or one or two sections (Korean-language submissions). | ||||||||
1. For Korean-language submissions, the first section presents Korean-language sources, including translations from other
languages, in 2. For submissions originally written in English, all sources are grouped in one list of references and alphabetized by author.
Titles of works |
||||||||
For the list of references in an English-language submission and, if needed, the list of non-Korean language sources, author names should be given as recorded on the title page of the source; initials for first names are permitted only if the source being referenced does not include any other information, and the full name of the author is not available from other sources. | ||||||||
For guidance on citations and references, see the complete print or online editions of the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (2017); the instructions at https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html; or, for quick reference for common types of bibliographical entry and special issues of journal house style, the following examples:
|
||||||||
Korean-language citations and references follow the same format with these exceptions: | ||||||||
1. Following Asian practice, all names, including all those specified in multiple author or editor entries, are listed with their family names 2. Because there is no difference between capital and lower-case letters in Hangeul, capitalization is irrelevant. 3. Brackets are used instead of italics for the titles of books or journals. |
||||||||
Within twenty-four (24) hours of the submission of a proposed article for SHSS the chief editor or an individual designated by the chief editor will examine it with regard to the guidelines for submission as outlined above in accordance with the following checklist: | ||||||||
