North Korean Review Hits
Thomson Reuters has announced that the North Korean Review (NKR) will be included in the prestigious Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), only four years after the journal's 2005 inaugural issue.
NKR provides academics and policymakers with a more complex examination of North Korea's economics, politics and international relations than is otherwise available to them through mainstream sources, according to its founder Kim Suk.
The mission of the North Korean Review is to provide a forum for greater understanding of North Korean internal affairs and external relations with the United States and other countries.
NKR addresses these issues through the lens of focused research, analysis and dissemination of information, and plays a defining role in providing relevant information and analysis about the strategic role of North Korea in Northeast Asia.
Professor Kim Suk from the Institute for North Korean Studies at the University of Detroit, and Mercy and McFarland & Company, Inc. publishers founded the journal in April 2004.
