Chin-Tan Hakpo
The ''Chin-Tan Hakpo'' () is a biannual academic journal that covers Korean history. It was established in 1934 as the journal of the Chin-Tan Society, a society of Korean historians. It was the first Korean-language academic journal on Korean history. It provided a space for Korean scholars during the colonial period to publish their work in a Korean-language journal. Yi Pyong-do, a founder of the Chin-Tan Society, argued that Korea should be studied by Koreans, rather than just colonial Japanese scholars. In 1941, publishing was stopped by the Japanese colonial authorities on the basis on war-time paper shortages during World War II. Publishing was restarted after independence but stopped due to the outbreak of the Korean War. Publishing would restart on June 1955, after the end of the Korean War, with the issue of the 17th volume of the ''Chin-Tan Hakpo''. The journal is indexed in the Korea Citation Index.

The Royal Spanish Academy defines academy as scientific, literary or artistic society established with public authority and as a teaching establishment, public or private, of a professional, artistic, technical or simply practical nature. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, '' Akademos''.

In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
