The brief history of the journal title was described incorrectly in the July and August issue of the year 2010 as follows:

'The Korean title of the JKMA from year 1948 was Chosun Uihak Hyophoei Hoibo. From, 1949 Korean title become Taehan Uihak Hyophoe Chi. Its Korean title was changed in 1996 as Taehan Uisa Hyophoe chi' (From July issue, 2010).

'The Korean title of the JKMA in its first year was Chosun Uihak Hyophoei Hoibo. From 1949, the Korean title became Taehan Uihak Hyophoei Chi' (From August issue, 2010).

They should be revised as follows:

'The Korean title of the JKMA in its first year was Choson Uihak Hyophoe Hoebo (朝韓醫學協會會報). From 1949, the Korean title became Taehan Uihak Hyophoe Hoebo (大韓醫學協會會報). Its Korean title was Taehan Uihak Hyophoe Chapchi (大韓醫學協會雜誌) from the revived issue of the year 1958 to the February issue of the year 1960. From the March issue of the year 1960, it was changed to Taehan Uihak Hyophoe Chi (대한의학협회지). It was changed again to Taehan Uisa Hyophoe Chi (대한의사협회지) from the July issue of the year 1995 and has been continued till now.'

We can see the same 'Volume 2 Number 1' issues of the year both 1949 and 1958. The background of such a duplicate bibliometric description may be searched later. We apologize to the readers and librarians for a careless description in the July and August issues of the year 2010.
