Abstract

Although it has been a long subject of study why researchers prefer some cited documents to others, the existing relative researches have had a variety of perspectives on the nature and complexity of the citation behavior and not provided a complete answer to this question. In particular, Korea researchers mainly used statistical analysis of bibliographic information, which has limitations in revealing dynamic and complex cognitive aspects of the citation process. In this study, I investigate the citer perception of citing motives and bibliographic factors through survey and compared the responses according to the researchers’ characteristics. After extracting the 22 motivations and 21 factors through the literature analysis and configuring a 5-point Likert scale questions, I conducted a survey in the wat of an e-mail attachment. From the SPSS 22.0, the frequency analysis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed on the 354 valid samples. As a result, it is found that supporting is considered the most important citing motive and social connection, self-citation have little influence. In the case of bibliographic factors, the journal’s reputation was recognized the most influential factor and the number of pages and authors was the least. Significant differences in fields of study and research careers were showed in some parts. These results can substantiate earlier studies, determine whether the factors assumed influential in selecting references were intended, and suggest the search point to the specialty library or academic database.

본 연구는 학제성이 강한 HCI 연구 내에서 문헌정보학 분야 연구가 수행한 연구내용과 역할을 분석하고 향후 타 학문분야와의 협력 가능성 및 수행 가능한 연구주제를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구에서 사용된 데이터는 문헌정보학 분야의 대표적인 국내 학술지 및 한국HCI학회 학술대회의 발표논문집에서 추출한 키워드와 소속 정보이며, 이들을 활용하여 네트워크 분석과 빈도 분석을 하였다. 국내 HCI 분야에서는 정보통신, 컴퓨터공학, 기술산업 등이 활발한 교류를 보이고 있었으며, 문헌정보학은 연구 협력에 있어서 비교적 소극적이었다. 문헌정보학 연구의 HCI 분야 내 역할을 살펴본 결과, 타 분야와 협력이 필요한 전문적인 주제에 대해서는 그 관심도가 높지 않음을 발견했다. 그러나 문헌정보학 분야 학술지에 타 학문분야 연구자들이 HCI 관련 논문을 다수 게재했다는 점과 기술산업 분야와도 어느 정도 연결성을 가지고 있다는 점에서, 향후 문헌정보학 분야가 기술산업 등 타 분야와의 협력을 통한 공동연구를 적극적으로 수행한다면 학계 간의 연구주제 확장 및 발전에 기여할 수 있음을 발견하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze how the Library and Information Science (LIS) related research efforts in Korea contributed to the progress of the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) discipline to identify the potential collaboration research partners and topics. The following data was used for the network and frequency analysis: titles, keywords and affiliation information extracted from the Korean journals serving the LIS fields as well as the conference proceedings of the Korean HCI society. Information communication technology, computer engineering, and technology industry had been active in research collaborations but LIS field was comparatively not active. This study was able to determine that LIS researchers carried out important research but they had not much interests in the topics that required interdisciplinary collaboration. However, there were a number of papers, which were not authored by LIS discipline researchers, in the LIS related journals. In addition, there are a few ongoing interdisciplinary research projects which included LIS researchers. This reveals that it is possible for the LIS field could play an important role in the future if the researchers actively participate the collaborative projects.
