Defense Research Institute Academic Journal "Advanced Defense Research"

Selected as a Registered Site by the National Research Foundation of Korea

Four Years After its Founding

Kwangwoon University Defense Project Research Institute, a humanities and social research institute designated by the National Research Foundation of Korea (Director, Department of International Trade/Department of Defense Prof. Sang-ryeol Shim) was working on the journal “Journal of Advances in Military Studies: JAMS”, which has been published three times a year since its inception in August 2018. The journal was selected as a ‘registered journal’ as a result of the 2022 academic evaluation by the National Research Foundation of Korea.

『Advanced Defense Research』 became the first academic journal in the school to receive very high ratings in the evaluation of this journal in terms of online accessibility of papers, the relevance of research topics and scope of journals, and strictness of review. It is an exceptional case that a journal published by a university-affiliated research institute was selected as a candidate site for inclusion after two years of publication. It was subsequently promoted to a site (it took four years).

Behind these achievements, there are many people including the editorial chair (Professor Jeong Seok-jae, Faculty of Business Administration/Defense Business Department), editorial staff (full-time researchers Jeong-su Kim, Dr. E-hwa Joo), and experts in the domestic and foreign defense and defense industries are composed. They were reviewing all theses very strictly and were working hard on journal management. Based on the results of the registration of DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), the only overseas open-access journal among domestic military science journals (February 27, 2019), it is expected to develop into an excellent academic journal that leads the sharing and dissemination of information with domestic and overseas educational institutions.
