how to write a research paper in my country

It's almost similar to American style because many Korean scholars have studied in the US. For example, as in America, it is very important to represent where sources are from, when scholars and students write their research papers. However, we do not apply American formats like APA style for the reference. We have our own formats for writing. I recognize that our formats have been made based upon American writing formats for research papers. So, although I feel little uncomfortable in using American writing formats, I think the style is largely not different from one of my country.
