Cultural Context
In Korean academia, proper '인용' (citation) is crucial for academic integrity. Plagiarism is taken very seriously, and students and researchers are rigorously taught to cite sources correctly. The number of citations a paper receives (인용 횟수) is a key metric for evaluating its impact and the researcher's influence, similar to Western academic standards.
