Korean Anthropology Review

Call for articles translated from Korean

Korean Anthropology Review (KAR) seeks high-quality English translations of anthropological articles originally published in Korean-language academic journals with KCI or SCOPUS rankings. While authors are responsible for translation expenses, KAR will provide copyediting and proofreading services, as well as cover all printing and distribution costs.

We welcome translations of articles on any anthropological topic, including those unrelated to Korea, regardless of their original publication date, as long as the content remains relevant to contemporary anthropologists. Our primary criteria are intellectual rigor and the potential to expand scholarly understanding across linguistic and cultural boundaries

Please note that machine translations are unlikely to meet our quality standards, and submissions requiring revisions beyond minor copyediting cannot be accepted.

To ensure your translation aligns with KAR's objectives and to receive detailed guidelines on translation specifications, we encourage potential contributors to contact our Editorial Team at kanthroreview@snu.ac.kr. We are also prepared to recommend professional translators who can assist in preparing high-quality submissions that meet our scholarly standards.
