Abstract

Since the 1990s, informetrics has grown in popularity among information scientists. Today it is a general discipline that comprises all kinds of metrics, including bibliometrics and scientometrics. To illustrate the dynamic progress of this field, this study aims to identify the structure and infrastructure of the informetrics literature using statistical and profiling methods. Informetrics literature was obtained from the Web of Knowledge for the years 2001-2010. The selected articles contain least one of these keywords: ‘informetrics’, ‘bibliometrics’, ‘scientometrics’, ‘webometrics’, and ‘citation analysis.’ Noteworthy publication patterns of major countries were identified by a statistical method. Intellectual structure analysis shows major research areas, authors, and journals.

본 연구는 학문의 지적 구조를 분석하는 새로운 분석기법인 저자프로파일링분석과 전통적인 분석기법인 저자동시인용분석을 비교하여 분석함으로써 국내 연구환경에 맞는 지적 구조 분석 방법을 제안하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 인용색인을 이용하지 않고 학문의 지적 구조를 분석할 수 있는 텍스트마이닝을 이용한 저자프로파일링분석을 통하여 새로운 지적 구조 방법의 유용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 분석대상 학술지는 대한건축학회 논문집 - 계획계를 대상으로 하였다.

Abstract

This study compared Author Profiling Analysis(APA) to Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA). The former is a new analytic technique on the intellectual structure of a science whereas the latter is a traditional analytic technique. The purpose of this study was to propose appropriate methods to analyze intellectual structure of a science in the Korean research environment. In order to achieve the goal, this study adopted APA using Text Mining for analysis on the intellectual structure of a science rather than relying on citation index in order to determine a potential utility of the new analytic technique that can identify the intellectual structure.
