Journal Articles I've Written

If you have clicked into this section, you must be academically interested in my research.

I have so far authored 50 journal articles. I like working with other like-minded people, so I have written about one third of my journal articles with a dozen or so people (not all at the same time!).

Most of my journal articles were written originally in English, except for a couple that were written in Korean. A couple of them were written in English but then translated and published first in another language, one in French, one in Spanish, and one in Portuguese. Many articles have been reprinted in books, sometimes more than once. A few have been translated and published in Spanish and Portuguese-language journals and books.

Below is the list of my journal articles.
