Abstract

There have been little comprehensive research for studying impact of foreign journals on Korean scientists. The main reason for this is because there was no extensive citation index database of domestic journals for analysis. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) built the Korea Science Citation Database (KSCD), and have provided Korea Science Citation Index (KSCI) and Korea Journal Citation Reports (KJCR) services. In this article, citing behavior of Korean scientists on foreign journals was examined by using KSCD that covers Korean core journals. This research covers (1) analysis of foreign document types cited, (2) analysis of citation counts of foreign journals by subject and the ratio of citing different disciplines, (3) analysis of language and country of foreign documents cited, (4) analysis of publishers of journals and whether or not journals are listed on global citation index services and (5) analysis for current situation of subscribing to foreign electronic journals in Korea. The results of this research would be useful for establishing strategies for licensing foreign electronic journals and for information services. From this research, immediacy citation rate (average 1.46%), peak-time (average 3.9 years) and half-life (average 8 years) of cited foreign journals were identified. It was also found that Korean scientistis tend to cite journals covered in SCI(E) or SCOPUS, and 90% of cited foreign journals have been licensed by institutions in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 국내에서 구축되고 있는 참고문헌 데이터베이스의 현황을 분석하여 문제점을 밝히고, 이들 문제점을 토대로 정보원으로서의 기능과 평가도구로서의 기능을 적절하게 수행할 수 있는 참고문헌 데이터베이스를 구축하기 위한 활성화 방안을 제언하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 국내에서 구축되는 참고문헌 데이터베이스 가운데 전문연구정보센터에서 구축하는 참고문헌 DB, 한국과학기술정보연구원의 KSCI, 학술진흥재단의 KCI, 대한의학회의 KoMCI를 연구대상으로 분석하였다. 이를 근거로 국내 참고문헌 데이터베이스 구축 사업을 위한 방안을 도출하여 제시하였다. 이들 자료는 참고문헌DB 구축을 위한 제도 및 정책, 기술적 방향을 제시하는데 근거자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyzes the present conditions of reference databases which is constructed from Korea. The object which is used in analysis concludes on KSCI(Korean Science Citation Index) of KISTI, KCI(Korean Citation Index) of KRF, KoMCI(Korean Medical Citation Index) of Korean Academy of Medical Sciences, and reference database of KOSEF. And then, this paper proposes the activation plan for reference database construction based on this analysis result. The proposed plan will be able to apply with fundamental data of the system, policy and technical direction for reference database construction.

본 연구에서는 한국과학기술정보연구원에서 구축중인 한국과학기술인용색인을 바탕으로 국내 주요 과학기술계 학술지에 수록된 연구 논문을 중심으로 연구자들의 인용현황을 분석하였다. 또한 기계공학 분야를 실험 대상으로 선정하여 현재 SCI의 기계공학 분야의 인용 순위와 비교한 결과 SCI의 JCR과는 실질적인 차이가 있음을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 국내 연구자에게 분야별 필수적인 연구 정보원의 제공과 국내 기관별, 분야별 과학기술 수준을 파악하고 평가하기 위한 도구로서 활용이 가능한 한국인용색인데이터베이스의 효율적인 구축방안 및 서비스모델을 제안한다.

Abstract

In this study we analyze the present situation of cited and citing references among researchers, based on Korean Science Citation Index developed by Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information. There are some differences on the rank of frequently cited journals between JCR of ISI and KSCI, especially in the field of mechanical engineering. The purpose of this study is to find an efficient way of constructing KSCI database and to propose a service model which can be available as a tool to evaluate research activities and to provide researcher with basic information resources.

Abstract

A large and reliable citation database is necessary to identify and analyze citation behavior of Korean researchers in science and technology. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) built the Korea Science Citation Database (KSCD), and have provided Korea Science Citation Index (KSCI) and Korea Journal Citation Reports (KJCR) services. In this article, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was examined by using the KSCD that covers 459 Korean core journals. This research dealt with (1) statistical numeric information of journals in KSCD, (2) analysis of document types cited, (3) ratio of domestic to international documents cited and ratio of citing different disciplines, (4) analysis on immediacy index, peak time, and half-life of cited documents, and (5) analysis on impact of journals based on KJCR citation indicators. From this research, we could find the immediacy citation rate (average 2.36%), peak-time (average 1.7 years) and half-life (average 5.2 years) of cited journals in Korea. We also found that the average journal self-citation rate is more than 50% in every field. In sum, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was comprehensively identified from this research.
