RICKS is open to any student affiliated with a university. Two pieces are published every month, on the 15th. Submissions are accepted at any time through the submission form below.
What we publish
RICKS welcomes original book reviews, article reviews and commentaries that connect Korean scholarship with readers around the world. Every piece must relate to Korea, be written in English, and be between 400 and 600 words. Submissions should be carefully written, rigorous work that meets an academic standard.
Review (book or article)
- The work reviewed must be in Korean.
- The review should introduce the work to readers who cannot read Korean. It should bring together, in the author's own words, the aspects of the work considered most important, followed by a respectful personal comment.
- The page number of the reviewed work should be given in parentheses at the end of the claim, for example (p. 125) or (pp. 122-123).
Commentary
- A commentary should be a written series of remarks, explanations or opinions that analyse, describe or critique an event, a text or a situation.
- The topic must relate to Korea.
- Everything put forward must be backed by evidence: a source should be given for every fact, figure or quotation.
