Key point
Shows which editions carry the historians' own judgments at all. Zero from Jeongjo onward means commentary can be cited only for Seonjo to Yeongjo.
- Formula
- Articles with ≥1 postScript / all articles
- How to read it
- First exceeds 2% under Seongjong and peaks at 3–8% under Jungjong, Myeongjong and Seonjo. From Jeongjo onward it is zero.
- Caveats
- Follows NIKH tagging; comments written as small-type notes may be untagged.
- External check
- Shown next to Cha Jang-seop's early-Joseon counts (one '史臣曰' = one comment). Two values on this site are kept apart: articles carrying a comment tag (Seongjong 658, Yeonsangun 40, Jungjong 1,213, Injong 50, Myeongjong 1,254) and the number of tags (665, 40, 1,346, 56, 1,455); the latter shares Cha's unit.
