Style Guide

General Instructions
1. Format: Please format documents double-spaced in Times New Roman 12 point font using Microsoft Word. Please leave generous margins, avoid righthand justification, and number pages consecutively.

2. Title Page: The title page of the manuscript should include the title of your paper, your name, affiliation, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and a one-paragraph abstract of no more than 100 words.

3. Headings: NKR uses three levels of headings. Major headings (heading level 1) should be left justified in bold. The first sentence after the heading should be indented. Secondary headings (heading level 2) should be left justified in italic. The first sentence after the heading should be indented. Tertiary headings (heading level 3) should be left justified in italic. The first sentence after the heading should begin on the same line.

4. Endnotes: Use full citation endnotes with no bibliography or reference list. Endnotes should be brief, used sparingly, and numbered consecutively throughout the text with subscript Arabic numbers. Please convert all footnotes to the endnote system.

5. Tables and Figures: Place each table or figure on a separate page at the end of the text. Indicate the position of the table or figure in the text (e.g., Insert Table 1 here). The page containing the table or figure should be placed after the page of first mention in the text. Authors are responsible for supplying high quality figures and any other kind of illustrative material. These may be sent camera-ready as hard copies ready to scan or provided with the e-mail submission. Please forward all materials to the editor.

6. Biographical Statement: On a separate page, provide a biographical statement of 75 words or fewer to be edited and published in NKR.

7. One File: Place all components of your paper in the following order in one file: title, abstract, text, endnotes, tables and figures, and biographical statement.

Content
All submissions must deal with some aspect of North Korea. Scholarship need not be tedious or pedantic. Authors are encouraged to create stimulating, controversial and enticing pieces.

Style
This is a scholarly journal. Therefore, develop paragraphs fully; use neither contractions nor first or second person pronouns; avoid repetition, jargon, sexist language and awkward syntactical constructions; do use a limited number of succinct headings and subheadings; and underline or italicize when required. Carefully honed, mellifluous prose is as important as substantive content. A good way to achieve these objectives is to show the manuscript to a colleague whose writing you respect. All accepted material is subject to editorial emendation.
