Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources
 | This page in a nutshell: A dynamic list of reliable Korean sources. See talk page for consensus results and questions. |
| WikiProject Korea |

|
This is a list of Korea-related sources and community verdicts on whether they are reliable. Sources deemed unreliable on here should generally not be used.
See also Wikipedia:Reliable sources for site-wide guidelines and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for a site-wide list.
Search engine
[edit]- Reliable Korean Sources Search Engine – a Google Programmable Search Engine that helps limit search results to those published by well-established reliable sources from Korea and about Korea.
Aggregators
[edit]
News aggregators
[edit]If you use articles republished by news aggregators like Naver News and Daum News, you should specify in the ref both the original newspaper that published the article and the news aggregator, like so: {{Cite news |newspaper=[[Pressian]] |via=[[Naver News]] |url=...
While news aggregators aren't necessarily inherently reliable or unreliable, some of the sources they republish may be unreliable per our standards. For example, Naver News's source list includes OhmyNews. Especially for contentious topics, you should scrutinize the underlying source.
Newspaper archives
[edit]There are a number of newspaper archives of Korean and Japanese newspapers that are available for free. Consider these to be news aggregators and cite them in the style given above.
- Naver News Library – 1920 to 1999 issues of The Dong-A Ilbo, The Chosun Ilbo, Kyunghyang Shinmun, The Hankyoreh, The Korea Economic Daily. You can link directly to individual articles or images.
- Korean Newspaper Archive (about) – 1883 to 1966 issues of various historic newspapers published in Korea.
Note that many pre-1977 images in these newspapers are copyright free.
Dictionary aggregators
[edit]Similar to above, references to dictionary aggregators like Naver Dictionary should mention the underlying dictionary being cited. {{Cite encyclopedia |dictionary=[[Standard Korean Language Dictionary]] |via=[[Naver Dictionary]] |url=...
Note that some works indexed by Naver Dictionary are unreliable, such as Wiktionary, Urban Dictionary, and Open Dictionary PRO, as they take user-submitted contributions.
Scholarly literature
[edit]There are a number of South Korean academic journal repositories, including:
- DBpia
- Korea Citation Index (KCI)
- Koreanstudies Information Service System (KISS)
- National Assembly Library
- Research Information Sharing Service (RISS)
- AccessON (Open Access)
These platforms can help find articles that Google Scholar does not index. Some articles are paywalled in third-party services, but can be accessed for free on the journal's website. Many journals provide English-language abstracts, but they are often written by people who do not have a good grasp of English, and should be avoided.
Books
[edit]- Digital Library of Korean Literature has mostly fiction and some nonfiction books in both English and Korean available for free; may need to register account.
- Library of the Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch lists books in Korean and English.
In English
[edit]- See the Romanizations in books list. While the page primarily documents romanization systems in use in books, it also serves as a list of reliable Korean studies books.
- University Press Library Open has many Korea-related books available for free
- National Institute of Korean History has published a few books in English, available for free
- London Korea Links Korea Book Database relatively comprehensive list of Korea-related books
If you have access to Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, you can access numerous Korea-related books for free on:
In Korean
[edit]- Academy of Korean Studies free book pdfs
- Seoul Historiography Institute free books
- Korea Heritage Service free book pdfs
Legend
[edit]This legend is based off of WP:RS/P#Legend; see there for further details. We avoid classifying sources as deprecated and blacklisted ourselves, as we feel those decisions are better handled at the site-level, but we will still display if those sources have received those labels at a site-level.

2024 |
Korean-language history and current affairs magazine, sister to The Chosun Ilbo. Two users have agreed that, while the site is generally high or even academic quality (especially for its coverage of Korean history, and has broke a number of major investigative journalism stories), it is probably biased right-wing for its reporting on current affairs.

|
|
2025
2025 2025 |
Government-commissioned records meticulously kept by the Joseon dynasty from 1392 to 1865. Much effort was made to make them independent from politicization. The records have been digitized and translated to modern Korean by the National Institute of Korean History.
A notable portion of users think that these should be treated as WP:PRIMARY sources, due to questions of the rigor of pre-modern historiography, independence from events documented, and the proximity of these sources in time to the events documented. However, there has been pushback/skepticism to these arguments. |
