Basic Medicine (Korean: 기초의학; MR: Kichʻo ŭihak) is a North Korean quarterly general medical journal established in 1969 and published by the Science and Encyclopedia Publishing House.[1][2] The journal covers "the basic structure and functions of the human body."[2] According to North Korea's Chosun Encyclopedia, the journal's main readership comprises medical researchers, professionals, and educators.[3]Basic Medicine is one of ten North Korean medical journals available in South Korea.[4]
Each issue of Basic Medicine begins with a quotation from the ruling Kim family, a table of contents, and two to three unsigned editorials that reflect the government's positions.[1][2] The following section, titled "Research Results", consists of articles filed under "General Remarks and Data", "Original Idea", "News", and "Legal Commentary".[2] Articles for the journal include the names of the authors, but fail to include any other biographical information like institutional affiliation.[2] The journal's rear cover includes various publication information, though the journal has sometimes omitted this information.[2] Like other North Korean scientific journals, the journal does not mention any submission guidelines, an ethical code, a peer-review process (though it does indicate that there is an editorial committee), or a subscription model.[2][5]
Research
Research published in Basic Medicine has covered diseases, the human body, and diagnostic technologies.[2][6] In addition to domestic authors, research published in the journal cites both Chinese and Western authors, including from the British Journal of Cancer and Human Pathology.[2]North Korean propaganda is a consistent feature of the journal and the journal is subject to widespread publication bias.[2][5] The journal also lacks in-line citations and articles rarely cite more than six references.[5] Research published in Basic Medicine in 2013 suggested that malaria prevention efforts in the country were hurt by the rise of drug-resistant mosquitos.[7]
