He has published numerous research papers in the academic area, particularly regarding the imaging-based diagnosis of colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases. Dr. Park also has extensive expertise in clinical research methodology and biostatistics. Most importantly, Dr. Park has vast experience as an editor or a peer reviewer for academic journals, which distinguishes him as an excellent candidate for the editor-in-chief for KJR among prolific scholars in the field of radiology. Dr. Park has served or has been serving as a deputy editor for KJR (2008–present), an associate editor for Radiology (2012–2017; Gastrointestinal Imaging section: 2019–present; Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics section), an assistant editor for the American Journal of Roentgenology (2014–2020), and a consultant to the editor for Radiology (2018).
