Basic Medicine (Korean: 기초의학; MR: Kich'o ŭihak) is a North Korean quarterly general medical journal established in 1969 and published by the Science and Encyclopedia Publishing House (과학백과사전출판사). The journal is subject to widespread publication bias and does not meet international standards; it lacks peer review, in-line citations, and an ethical code. Basic Medicine is produced primarily for domestic distribution, although it is one of ten North Korean medical journals available in South Korea.
