K-Heritage Review — Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

1. General Principles

• a. As a rule, manuscripts shall be written using the Hangul (HWP) word processor. Font size shall be 10 pt, line spacing 160%, letter spacing (자간) 0, and character width (장평) 100%; the page layout shall be set to “A4 Narrow,” and the typeface to “Batang or Myeongjo” (serif). English-language papers, however, may be written using MS-Word.
• b. The length of a paper shall not exceed 25 pages of A4, including the minimum drawings, photographs, tables, etc. necessary to develop the argument.
• c. A paper shall be organized in the following order: title, author name, table of contents, Korean abstract, keywords, main text, references, English references, Abstract (English), and Keywords (English).
• d. Loanwords and foreign words shall be transcribed in accordance with standard Korean transcription rules.
• e. Principal notations shall be standardized as follows:
  e.g., Book titles: 『 』; Article titles: 「 」; Works (of art): 〈 〉
• f. Figure captions, tables, and references shall follow SCOPUS publication conventions.
• g. When a paper has been written with the use of generative AI, the scope of use and the name of the tool must be specifically stated in the main text or in the acknowledgments. AI cannot, however, be an author of a paper, and all responsibility for AI-generated content rests with the author.

2. Title and Name

The title, name, and affiliation shall be stated at the beginning of the paper. For English, the standard Romanization rules shall be followed.

3. Table of Contents

• a. A table of contents shall be provided beneath the title.
• b. Chapters and sections shall be divided in the order I, 1, 1), (1), 가·나·다 (a, b, c).
• c. The Introduction (머리말) and Conclusion (맺음말) also count as chapters. Only chapters are listed in the table of contents.
  e.g., I. Introduction II. Statement of the Problem 1. Current State of Research 2. Statement of the Problem … IV. Conclusion

4. Quotations

• a. Except where unavoidable, translations shall be given; where necessary, the original text shall be provided alongside in a note.
• b. When a quotation is long, it shall be set in a separate paragraph, with the font size reduced by 1 point and one blank line above and below.

5. In-text Citations

• a. When listing site names, citation of the underlying excavation reports shall be omitted as far as possible.
• b. Citations shall be written in the same script as the original source, as follows:
  1. Single-author study
     e.g., (홍길동, 1998) (李夢龍, 1999: 213-215) (Flannery, 1976: 126) (홍길동, 1998a·b)
  2. Two-author study
     e.g., (이몽룡·성춘향, 1998: 11-16) (Renfrew and Bahn, 2004: 29)
  3. Study by three or more authors
     e.g., (이몽룡 외, 1998: 102) (Blanton et al., 1981: 223)
  4. Two or more studies: list authors in the order Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Western. Among authors using the same script, order Korean by Hangul (jamo) order, Chinese and Japanese by the Hangul order of the Sino-Korean reading, and Western alphabetically, separating entries with semicolons. For the same author, order by year.
     e.g., (이몽룡·성춘향, 1998; 홍길동, 1998: 213, 2000: 54; Flannery, 1976: 126; Renfrew and Bahn, 2004: 294)
• c. Citations shall be constructed as follows:
  1. According to 홍길동 (1998: 213)……, 홍길동 (1998: 213) is……, 홍길동 (1998: 213-215) is…….
  2. There is a view that …… (홍길동, 1998: 213).; It is also held that …… (홍길동, 1998: 213-215).
  3. Avoid redundant citation of the author, such as “According to 홍길동, …… (홍길동, 1998: 213).”

6. Notes

• a. In addition to in-text citation marks, footnotes may be added where necessary.
• b. Footnotes shall be marked with a serial number followed by a closing parenthesis (e.g., 1)) at the end of the relevant sentence or term, and kept as brief as possible. Citations within footnotes follow the same principles as the main text.
• c. Citations of websites and newspaper articles shall be given in footnotes.
  e.g., Korean National Commission for UNESCO, “The 48th World Heritage Committee to be Held in Busan,” UNESCO News, July 16, 2025, accessed April 11, 2026, https://unesco.or.kr/250716_02.
• d. When generative AI has been used in the writing process, a footnote must state: “This paper used [name of AI tool] for [area of use: e.g., proofreading the English abstract, organizing data, etc.].”

7. Figures and Tables

• a. Figures and tables shall not be placed within the main text but prepared as a separate document.
• b. Figures (photographs, drawings, plans, etc.) shall be given inclusive serial numbers in the form “(fig 1).”
• c. Tables shall be given separate serial numbers in the form “table 1.”
• d. They shall be referred to in the main text as (fig 1), (table 1).
• e. Figure captions shall be presented in the order: (fig 1), artist (if any), 〈title of work〉, year of production or period, material, dimensions, repository.
• f. Figures must be submitted in digital format. Each figure is recommended to be at least 300 dpi, jpeg type, and around 2–3 MB.
• g. When using a photograph from a published source such as an exhibition catalogue, the source shall be given in parentheses after the caption in the order (author, book title, plate number or page). Where the source is difficult to identify, follow the editorial committee’s recommendation.

8. References

• a. Only references cited in the main text shall be listed.
• b. References shall be ordered Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Western, without distinguishing between articles and books: Korean by the author’s Hangul order, Chinese and Japanese by the Hangul order of the Sino-Korean reading of the author’s name, and Western by the author’s alphabetical order.
• c. When there are several works by one author, order them by year of publication; works of the same year are distinguished alphabetically.
• d. Co-authored studies are placed after single-author studies under the same name.
• e. References shall be written in the same script as the original source, as follows:
