Summary

In South Korea, two peer-reviewed journals related to the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) [1-3]: 1) Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons for 43 years; 2) Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery are already existing for 40 years. Both have a long time traditions of publishing and editorial process of peer-review articles. And both journals have undergone the process of changing the language of publications – transition from the official state language to English. The purpose of that analytic paper is to highlight that transition, as each of the journals has a different type of language transition. The transitions` impact on OMS residency programs is also discussed.
