Abstract

It is necessary and required for an author to provide information for readers to evaluate the quality of his/her paper submitted to a journal for publication. In this article, factor analysis papers published in Korean academic journals of Psychology are reviewed to examine if proper information has been provided. It is uncovered that authors using factor analysis do not provide enough information for the reviewers and the readers of their research results. It is concluded that review practice should be tightened more than now in order for the articles to communicate and accumulate academic findings.
