Brief History edit
In 1968, The KSA founded the `Daehan-machuigwa-hakhoiji' (the prototype of the KJA written in Korean). They conceived the idea of fostering sustainable research and education in this country through a society-driven journal.[citation needed]
The KJA has become an open access journal as a member of the Synapse[2] (A Digital Archive and Reference Linking Platform of Korean Medical Journals) since 2009. It then adopted a new line of editing policy including English-only submission.
