The Yonsei Journal of International Studies (YJIS) seeks to foster scholarly discussion on pressing issues in the field of International Studies. We welcome submissions from scholars at all academic and professional levels. Please refer to our prior issues to see the range of topics we have published.
Review Process
- All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial desk review by the editorial board.
- Manuscripts that pass this stage will be evaluated through a double-blind peer review by two anonymous reviewers.
- Review outcomes fall into one of four categories:
-
- Accept
- Publish with revision
- Revise and resubmit
- Reject
- Submissions that receive a “publish with revision” and “revise and resubmit” decision will be returned to the author for revision, then undergo a second review process after the author’s re-submission to determine the final publication outcome.
- In cases of conflicting recommendations, the editorial board will make the final decision.
Submission Requirements
- Manuscripts must be original, unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere.
- Authors must also submit the following along with their manuscript:
- A similarity report (e.g., Turnitin, PlagiarismChecker, or equivalent)
- An AI usage disclosure statement (see “AI Usage Policy” tab for reference)
- Author’s biography
- Please refer to the “Manuscript Formatting” tab for detailed information on formatting guidelines for submissions. Manuscripts that do not meet our submission criteria will not be considered for review.
Rights and Permissions

- The Editor-in-Chief retains final authority over publication decisions.
- Editors may make stylistic and formatting adjustments to align with the journal’s standards.
- Published articles may not be republished elsewhere without written permission.
