Analysis of the Theses in Studies in Modern British and American Poetry

The first issue of The Studies in Modern British and American Poetry was published in 1996, eight years after the establishment of The Modern British and American Poetry Society of Korea in 1988. The aim of this paper is to analyse the theses in the journal from the first volume to the seventeenth volume published on December 30, 2006. The first thing checked is the number of theses in a volume and who the authors are. The second thing checked is the poets who are the object of the study. The third thing is the citation of theses published before. Amazingly enough, it turns out that very few scholars cite the theses written by other Korean scholars. And very few scholars acknowledge the citation of the scholar’s own theses published in this journalThe scholars are thought to be hesitating to acknowledge the citation of documents published in Korea. This surmise seems to be proved by the fact that they do not cite the books published in Korea, even though the citation rate is somewhat higher than the citation of the theses published in Korea.
