As a result, for the internationalization of academic journals in the social science field, the composition of EBM that can promote the convergence of theory and practice, consideration of the regional aspect for the efficiency of EBM work, the composition of the EBM considering the efficiency of English-based academic communication, participation of researchers in EBM who can connect academics and the field should be considered.
