Abstract

"Background : To analyze orthographic and regulatory mistakes in manuscripts contributed to the Journal of Korean Neurological Association (KNA), and thus to improve the quality of the articles. Methods : Twenty-one original contri-butions written in Korean were reviewed and analyzed. They reached me from January to July in 2002 and were at the final editing stage just before being publicated. I analyzed their mistakes according to the Hangul orthographic guide-lines and the contribution regulations of KNA. Results : Among the total of 4,586 errors, 3,268 (71.3%) were ortho-graphic and 1,318 (28.7%) regulatory. Orthographic mistakes were mainly in the use of parentheses, selection of terms, and misspelling in the decreasing order. Violations of the contribution regulations were found mainly in tables, refer-ences, and figures rather than the body of the articles. Conclusions : Editorial Committee should make more efforts in the education of Hangul orthography for KNA members. And KNA members should pay particular attention to the mis-takes in the orthographic and regulatory aspects to enhance the completeness of the articles.Key Words : Original contributions, Hangul orthography, Contribution regulations"
