I. General Principles

1. Manuscripts that may be submitted to The Korean Journal for the History of Science (hereinafter "the journal") include research articles, review essays, research notes, discussions, source materials, book reviews, reports, and introductions in the history of science.
2. Submitted manuscripts must not have been published in any other academic journal or book, whether in Korea or abroad.
3. The principal authors of a submitted manuscript (the first author and the corresponding author) must be members of The Korean History of Science Society. Non-member authors enter the review process only after their membership has been confirmed.
4. Authors wishing to publish in the journal must follow the journal's manuscript preparation guidelines and, as a rule, submit to The Korean History of Science Society a file prepared in Hangul (HWP) for Korean manuscripts and in MS Word for English manuscripts. Submitted manuscripts are not returned under any circumstances.
5. Authors must provide an English translation of the title, their name in Roman letters, an English abstract of no more than 200 words, and, below the abstract, keywords in English.
6. As a rule, a regular article should not exceed 150 pages of 200-character manuscript paper (30,000 characters). For material exceeding this limit, an additional publication fee of 5,000 KRW per manuscript page is charged.
7. A publication fee is charged for each published article: 200,000 KRW for a general article and 400,000 KRW for an article supported by research funding. The same applies to non-regular articles. However, the fee for a student author without research funding is 100,000 KRW.
8. Copyright in all articles published in the journal belongs to The Korean History of Science Society. To this end, authors must complete and submit to the Society a copyright transfer agreement and a research ethics pledge through the online submission system.

II. Text

1. As a rule, manuscripts should be written in Korean wherever possible.
2. Where Chinese characters are necessary, they should be given in the form '과학사학회(科學史學會)' wherever possible. For proper nouns, this form is used only at first occurrence; thereafter Hangul alone is used unless doing so would cause confusion.
3. Double quotation marks are used for emphasis. As a rule, single quotation marks are not used except for a quotation within a passage already enclosed in double quotation marks.
4. In Korean-language issues, the original-language form of a proper noun may be given in parentheses where necessary. In English-language issues, Korean expressions are as a rule translated into English, and transliteration is not used; where necessary the Korean original may be given alongside without parentheses. For Korean proper nouns, the official English name takes precedence. Where no official English name exists, personal names follow the current Romanization system and other proper nouns are translated into English. The same applies to bibliographic details such as the titles and publishers of Korean-language publications, and footnotes follow the same rule.

   Example 1) 마리 퀴리(Marie Curie)

   Example 2) 카이저 빌헬름 화학연구소(Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften)

   Example 3) Agriculture and Fishery Development Corporation 농어촌개발공사

   Example 4) "from a catching fishery to a raising fishery 잡는 어업에서 기르는 어업으로"

   Example 5) The Korean Journal for the History of Science 한국과학사학회지

5. When an abbreviation is used, the full term is spelled out at its first occurrence with the abbreviation given in parentheses. Where the language of the text differs from that of the original expression, the original may be given in the parentheses as well. At subsequent occurrences the abbreviation alone is used.

   Example 1) Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI)

   Example 2) 미국 광산국 (United States Bureau of Mines, USBM)

   Example 3) World Air Sports Federation (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, FAI)

III. Footnotes

1. As a rule, all notes are given as footnotes, and no separate reference list is provided.
2. All titles and articles are cited according to the general examples below; special cases such as edited volumes, translations, and classical Chinese texts follow the examples prescribed separately in the items below. Information on the place of publication is also given; however, for Korean books published in Seoul this may be omitted at the author's convenience. Expressions such as 쪽 or p. are not used when giving page numbers. The general format for titles and articles is as follows.

   ◎ General order of elements

   East Asian works: Author, "Article Title", 『Book Title』 (Place of publication: Publisher, Year), pages.

   Western works: Author, "Subject," Book's Title (Location: Publisher, Year), pages.

   (1) Monographs

   Example 1) 全相運, 『韓國科學技術史』 (정음사, 1998).

   Example 2) G. E. R. Lloyd, Early Greek Science: Thales to Aristotle (New York: W. W. Norton, 1970).

   (2) Chapters in a monograph

   Example 1) 박성래, "자연 현상의 기록에서 정치가 보인다", 『한국사에도 과학이 있는가』 (교보문고, 1998), 147-158.

   Example 2) Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch, "A New Window on the Universe: The Non-detection of Gravitational Radiation," The Golem: What Everyone Should Know about Science (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993), 91-107.

   (3) Periodicals

   Example 1) 朴星來, "대원군시대의 과학기술", 『한국과학사학회지』 2:1 (1980), 3-15.

   Example 2) Richard Westfall, "Science and Patronage: Galileo and the Telescope," Isis 76:1 (1985), 11-30.

   (4) Theses and dissertations

   Example 1) 송성수, "한국 철강산업의 기술능력 발전과정: 1960～1990년대의 포항제철" (서울대학교 박사학위논문, 2002).

   Example 2) Seong-Rae Park, "Portents and Politics in Early Yi Korea, 1392∼1519" (Ph.D. dissertation, University of Hawaii, 1977).

3. For works in East Asian languages, article titles are placed within " " and book titles within 『 』. Cited articles and footnotes end with a period.

   Example 1) 全相運, 『韓國科學技術史』 (과학세계사, 1966).

   Example 2) 朴星來, "대원군시대의 과학기술", 『한국과학사학회지』 2:1 (1980), 3-15.

4. For works in Western languages, article titles are placed within " " and book titles are set in italics. The article title and the book title are separated by a comma.

   Example 1) G. E. R. Lloyd, Early Greek Science: Thales to Aristotle (New York: W. W. Norton, 1970).

   Example 2) Charles C. Gillispie, "The Natural History of Industry," Isis 48:4 (1957), 398-407.

5. Where the same work is cited more than once, full bibliographic details are given only at the first citation. For subsequent citations, a work cited in the immediately preceding note is indicated by '같은 책', '같은 논문', or '같은 글' (ibid. for Western works). A work cited earlier but not immediately above is indicated by the author's name followed by '앞 책', '앞 논문', or '앞 글' (or op. cit.).

   (Citing the same work as in the immediately preceding footnote)

   Example 1) (Western-language work) ibid., 473.

   Example 2) (East Asian-language work) 같은 논문, 38.

   (Citing elsewhere a work already cited at least once)

   Example 1) (Western-language work) Lloyd, op. cit., 473.

   Example 2) (East Asian-language work) 박성래, 앞 논문, 38.

   However, where several different works by the same author are cited, or where the citation is far removed from the note in which the work was first mentioned, then instead of '앞 책', '앞 논문', or '앞 글' (or op. cit.), the minimum bibliographic detail needed to identify the work (the title or an identifiable part of it) is given in order to avoid confusion, and, if judged necessary, the number of the note in which it was first mentioned is given in parentheses. Bibliographic details not needed for identification may be omitted.

   Example 1) (Western-language work) Lloyd, Early Greek Science, 18-21. / Lloyd, Early Greek Science (note 3), 18-21.

   Example 2) (East Asian-language work) 박성래, "대원군시대의 과학기술", 14. / 박성래, "대원군시대의 과학기술" (각주 2), 246.

6. Where the cited work is an edited volume, '편' (or ed. / eds.) is added after the editor's name.

   (1) Edited volumes

   Example) 국사편찬위원회 편, 『근현대 과학 기술과 삶의 변화』 (두산동아, 2005).

   (2) Chapters in an edited volume

   ① East Asian works

   Example 1) 박진희, "철도로 보는 근대의 풍경", 국사편찬위원회 편, 『근현대 과학 기술과 삶의 변화』 (두산동아, 2005), 29-49.

   Example 2) 신동원, "동아시아 전통과학사론의 비판적 검토", 이중원·홍성욱·임종태 편, 『인문학으로 과학읽기』 (실천문학사, 2004), 243-269.

   ② Western works

   Example) P. Rossi, "Hermeticism, Rationality and the Scientific Revolution," M. L. R. Bonelli and W. R. Shea, eds., Reason, Experiment and Mysticism in the Scientific Revolution (New York: Science History Publications, 1975), 247-273.

7. When citing a classical Chinese text (漢籍本), the largest category of the work is enclosed in 『 』 and subdivisions in " "; where these are further subdivided, an interpunct (·) is used. Bibliographic details follow the general format above and specify the edition. However, for common classics (經書) or historical sources (史料) used without distinguishing editions, only the title and chapter name need be recorded. When quoting the original text of a particular passage from such a work, the bibliographic details are followed by a colon ( : ) and then the original text. As a rule, punctuation within the quoted text uses periods ( . ) and commas ( , ).

   (1) When the edition is specified

   Example 1) 康廣仁, "報易一盡", 『戊戌六君子集』 X期(上海, 近代史資料集刊, 1992), 32.

   Example 2) 魏源, "外藩·乾隆戡定回疆記", 『聖武記』 卷4(北京, 中華書局, 1984), 34-45.

   (3) When quoting a passage

   Example 1) 『승정원일기』정조 13년 7월 13일 丁酉: 又命書榻敎曰, 內贍寺提調鄭昌順, 觀象監提調鄭好仁相換, 以看山大臣狀啓.

   Example 2) 홍대용, "여소음서", 『간정후편』권2, 269: 記文拜領, 比前尤高健, 拙作藉以不朽矣. 復以一儀, 改爲激水之制, 受水等語, 允合實際尤妙.

8. For translated works, the bibliographic details of the translation are given. The author may also give the details of the original work if needed.

   (1) General format

   Example) 찰스 길리스피, 이필렬 옮김, 『객관성의 칼날: 과학사상의 역사에 관한 에세이』 (새물결, 1999).

   (2) Where the details of the original work are given, they may be placed within [ ].

   Example) 제임스 E. 매클렐란 3세·해럴드 도른, 전대호 옮김, 『과학과 기술로 본 세계사 강의』 (모티브북, 2006) [James E. McClellan III and Harold Dorn, Science and Technology in World History: An Introduction (Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999)].

9. Where several works are cited in succession, they are separated by semicolons ( ; ).

    Example 2) "Autos for Free Rides Popular at the Shows" The New York Times, 1906. 1. 16.

12. Internet sources are cited according to the following principles.

    (1) The title of the web page or document is placed within double quotation marks (" "), followed by the stable URL and, in parentheses, the date of access. The access date is written with the year, month, and day appended directly rather than separated by periods ( . ). In English-language issues, the form Month DD, YYYY is used.

    Example 1) "천문의기 동영상 보기", http://ruby.kisti.re.kr/~anastro/pulldown/pulldown_frame.htm (2006년 5월 5일 접속).

    Example 2) Dong-hee Oh, "The 30-Year Wheel of Samsung Semiconductor…A History of Korean, U.S., and Japanese Technology 삼성 반도체 30년의 수레바퀴… 한·미·일 기술사", Money Today, 2013. 4. 13. https://news.mt.co.kr/mtview.php?no=2013031315265347798 (accessed on August 29, 2025).

    (2) Where the author judges it necessary, the name or address of the site to which the web page belongs may be appended.

15. For oral history material collected directly by the author, the place of collection, the name of the interviewee, the session number, and the date of collection are given. Where unavoidable, some of this information may be omitted.

    Example 1) 서울과학기술대학교, 최형섭과의 1차 인터뷰, 2025. 11. 1.

    Example 2) Interview with Choi.

16. For periodicals published only online without a print edition, the URL is given; where there is no volume or issue number, it may be omitted.

IV. Quotations

1. As a rule, all quotations are translated except where the argument makes this impossible.
2. Quotations run into the text without a line break are enclosed in double quotation marks (" ").
3. A quotation within a quotation enclosed in double quotation marks is enclosed in single quotation marks (' ').
4. Passages emphasized or altered by the author of the article are marked with emphasis dots, or set in italics for Roman script and in gothic type for Hangul.
5. A long quotation set off from the text on its own lines is separated by a blank line and set one point smaller than the body text. A blank line is left before and after it, and the left margin is indented by one space.
6. All quotations of every kind must give the source together with page numbers. In the case of an indirect citation, both the original source and the work in which it was found must be given in as much detail as possible.

V. Miscellaneous

1. Tables and figures are prepared separately, numbered in separate series, and their sources are given in order below the table or figure.
2. For manuscripts exceeding the prescribed length, additional printing costs may be charged to the author. Where the publication of figures or photographs requires special printing, the cost is borne by the author.
