Statement of Purpose
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics is a dynamic encyclopedia set up to provide up-to-date and integral information on Korean linguistics. Each entry provided in the Encyclopedia is maintained and kept current by an expert or group of experts in the field (the authors are given direct electronic access to a copy of their entry). Unlike static reference works that are fixed on the printed page or on CD-ROM and which often become outdated soon after they are published, this reference work is responsive to new research, for it changes asynchronously with the addition of new entries and the modification of existing entries. (You can, however, cite fixed editions which are made and archived on a quarterly basis.) Moreover, the entries and subsequent updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are put online. Whenever an author uploads a new entry or modifies an existing entry, the new material is stored off-line until it is approved by the Editorial Board member in charge of that entry.
(The Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics is modeled after the
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which can be found at http://plato.stanford.edu.)
Editorial Information
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Korean Linguistics is a dynamic reference
work and is a publishing project of the Center for the
Study of Language and Information (CSLI) at Stanford University. The
concept of a dynamic reference work was implemented in the design of
the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy by Edward N. Zalta.

All editorial decisions concerning the Encyclopedia, including decisions concerning its content, format and distribution, are made by the Editor/Associate Editor in consultation with the Board of Editors. The members of the Board of Editors are selected in consultation with the Encyclopedia's Advisory Board. The Advisory Board also advises the Editor on the basic policies governing the operation of the Encyclopedia. Contributions to the Encyclopedia are normally solicited by invitation from a member of the Board of Editors. However, qualified potential contributors may send an inquiry to an appropriate member of the Editorial Board containing an entry proposal and a description of their qualifications. Those persons who have published refereed works on the proposed entry are qualified to submit proposals. By `refereed works' we mean either articles in respected, refereed journals or books which have been published by respected publishing houses and which have undergone the usual peer review process prior to publication. Notes in newsletters, proceedings, unpublished dissertations, etc., do not count as such. However, if a member of our Board of Editors is familiar with the work of the potential contributor, the latter may be certified as qualified. The Board of Editors reserves the right to compare the qualifications of the person submitting the unsolicited request with those of other potential authors who might naturally come to mind for the entry in question.
Readers of the Encyclopedia are also encouraged to contact authors directly with comments, corrections, and other suggestions for improvements. It remains the responsibility of authors to maintain their entries and to keep them current.
Authors are expected: (1) to update their entries regularly, especially in response to important new research on the topic of the entry, and (2) to revise their entries in a timely way in light of any valid criticism they receive, whether it comes from the subject editors on our Editorial Board, other members of the profession, or interested readers. In connection with (1), authors should update the Bibliography and Other Internet Resources sections of their entries regularly, to keep pace with significant new publications, both in print and on the web. In connection with (2), the validity of criticism shall be determined by the Editor, typically in consultation with the relevant members of the Editorial Board. The length of time required for a "timely" revision will be negotiable and will both respect the author's current commitments and reflect the seriousness of the criticism. However, entries which require revision but which are not revised within the negotiated timetable may be retired from the active portion of the Encyclopedia and left in the Encyclopedia Archives until such time as the entry is revised so as to engage the valid criticisms in question.
