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.

Abstract

Since information scientists have begun trying to quantify significant research trends in scientific publications, ‘-metrics’ research such as ‘bibliometrics’, ‘scientometrics’, ‘informetrics’, ‘webometrics’, and ‘citation analysis’ have been identified as crucial areas of information science. To illustrate the dynamic research activities in these areas, this study investigated the major contributors of ‘-metrics’ research for the last decade at three levels: nations, institutions, and documents. ‘-metrics’ literature of this study was obtained from the Science Citation Index for the years 2001-2011. In this analysis, we used Pathfinder network, PNNC algorithm, PageRank and several indicators based on h-index. In terms of international collaborations, USA and England were identified as major countries. At the institutional level, Katholieke University, Leuven and the University of Amsterdam in Europe and Indiana University and the Office of Naval Research in the USA have led co-research projects in informetrics areas. At the document level, Hirsch’s h-index paper and Ingwersen’s web impact factor paper were identified as the most influential work by two methods: PageRank and single paper h-index.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify topic areas of academic library research using two informetric methods; word clustering and Pathfinder network. For the data analysis, 139 articles published in major library and information science journals from 2005 to 2009 were collected from the Korean Science Citation Index database. The keywords that represent research topics were gathered from two sections: an abstract and titles in references. Results showed that reference titles usefully represent topics in detail, and combining abstracts and reference titles can produce an expanded topic map.

질의응답문서는 이용자가 입력한 질의, 질의설명, 답을 아는 다른 이용자가 제시한 응답으로 구성된 구조화된 문서로서, 최근 웹 문서처럼 검색이 일반적으로 일어나고 있는 정보원이다. 이 연구에서는 질의응답문서의 구조적 특성을 기반으로 질의를 재생성하여 질의응답문서의 검색효율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 질의재생성 실험에서 성능이 비교된 문서구조는 질의와 응답내용이다. 질의를 기반으로 질의를 재생성하는 방식에서는 질의응답검색 시스템에 입력되어 있는 유사질의를 활용하여 클러스터링하는 기법이 적용되었다. 응답정보를 기반으로 질의를 재생성하는 방식에서는 가장 유사한 기존 질의에 대해 응답된 내용에서 단락검색으로 적합한 문장들을 선정하여 활용하는 기법이 적용되었다. 실험 결과 응답정보를 활용하여 질의를 재생성하는 방식이 정확률은 유지하면서 더 다양한 검색결과를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

This study aims to suggest an effective way to enhance question-answer(QA) document retrieval performance by reconstructing queries based on the structural features in the QA documents. QA documents are a structured document which consists of three components: question from a questioner, short description on the question, answers chosen by the questioner. The study proposes the methods to reconstruct a new query using by two major structural parts, question and answer, and examines which component of a QA document could contribute to improve query performance. The major finding in this study is that to use answer document set is the most effective for reconstructing a new query. That is, queries reconstructed based on terms appeared on the answer document set provide the most relevant search results with reducing redundancy of retrieved documents.

구조적 초록은 학술 논문의 주제를 표현하는 역할을 하여 학술 논문을 처리하는데 중요한 요소로 인식되어왔다. 이 연구에서는 구조적 초록을 구성하는 세부 필드의 속성을 4개로 분석하고 초록의 구조를 활용하여 문서 클러스터링에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 고찰고자 하였다. 구조적 초록의 필드 속성을 문서 클러스터링에 적용한 결과 클러스터링 기법간의 편차가 있었으나 연구 목적이 제공하는 정보량에 비해 주제성이 커서 클러스터링 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 분석 결과 특정 필드에 특화되어 출현하는 필드 종속적인 단어가 발생하는 것으로 나타나 필드 종속적인 단어를 배제하고 집단내 평균연결 기법을 적용하였을 때는 클러스터링의 성능이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Abstract

Structured abstracts have been regarded as an essential information factor to represent topics of journal articles. This study aims to provide an unconventional view to utilize structured abstracts with the analysis on sub fields of a structured abstract in depth. In this study, a structured abstract was segmented into four fields, namely, purpose, design, findings, and values/implications. Each field was compared in the performance analysis of document clustering. In result, the purpose statement of an abstract affected on the performance of journal article clustering more than any other fields. Furthermore, certain types of keywords were identified to be excluded in the document clustering to improve clustering performance, especially by Within group average clustering method. These keywords had stronger relationship to a specific abstract field such as research design than the topic of an article.
