Yuksabipyungsa (역사비평사) is a South Korean academic publishing house whose identity is closely tied to its flagship quarterly journal, 『역사비평』 (Historical Criticism). The publisher operates an online community and information hub at yukbi.com, where it distributes journal issues, book releases, press materials, submission guidelines, and subscription information. Its catalog and journal content focus on Korean and East Asian history, historiography, political history, and critical social commentary. The journal 『역사비평』 is published quarterly, with issues identified by number and season (for example, issue 153, Winter 2025, and issue 156, Autumn 2026). The publisher maintains a formal online platform for article submissions and has announced changes to that submission platform, indicating an active, ongoing scholarly publishing operation. It also provides related services such as manuscript guidelines, regulations, and a document similarity-checking service for authors. Beyond the journal, Yuksabipyungsa publishes books on historical and political subjects. Its book list includes titles such as 『계엄, 내란 그리고 민주주의』 (Martial Law, Insurrection, and Democracy), which was promoted through a book talk event. The publisher's releases and authors have been covered by major South Korean media outlets including Hankyoreh, Segye, JoongAng, and Kyunghyang, reflecting its presence in public historical and political debate. The publisher's community-facing activities include press releases, notices, book purchase guidance, and regular subscription services. Its editorial scope spans modern Korean history, the post-liberation period, Confucian scholarship (including works on Toegye and Yulgok), and contemporary political analysis. Yuksabipyungsa thus functions as both a scholarly journal publisher and a general academic trade publisher in South Korea. Because the available evidence is limited to the official website and a Wikidata entry, some corporate details such as founding year, founder, ownership structure, and headquarters address are not confirmed here. The publisher is treated as a private South Korean academic publishing brand.
