Abstract

Launched in 1964, the Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology (JKSR) has served as the official journal of the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR). However, with establishment of the Korean Journal of Radiology (KJR), an entirely English journal, in 2000 and listing of the KJR in the SCI(E), KJR has become the representative academic journal of the KSR. Therefore, the identity of JKSR needs to be restructured, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the status and the future direction of the JKSR. The survey was conducted in September 2018 with 10 questions through on-line and mobile, and 553 members gave responses. According to the survey results, about 75% of the respondents read more than one JKSR article a year, mostly through on-line. All types of papers, including original article, case report, and review article were being read. The most common reason for contributing articles to the JKSR was submission for the radiology board examination, and the most common reason for not contributing articles to the JKSR was non-recognition of the publication in JKSR as achievement in universities because JKSR is not indexed in SCI(E). Many respondents were hoping for dealing with continuous medical education and health policies in radiology as the future role of JKSR. Based on these surveys, we plan to reorganize JKSR in 2019, which we would like to introduce in this paper.
