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 연구의 목적은 고령층을 위한 웹 사이트의 정보 구조를 조직화 체계와 레이블링 체계의 측면에서 평가하는데 있다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 고령자들이 비교적 많이 이용하는 국내 웹 사이트 한 곳(네이버)을 선정하고, 실험참가자들은 주어진 세 가지의 정보탐색 과제를 수행한 후, 사후 설문과 필요한 경우 추가적인 인터뷰를 통하여 총 74명의 실험 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터는 SPSS Ver.20으로 통계분석을 실시했다. 연구 결과를 요약하면, 실험대상으로 선정한 웹 사이트는 정보 구조의 조직화 측면에서 실험참가자들에게 긍정적인 평가를 받았는데, 특히 콘텐츠의 체계적인 주제별 분류와 시간순이나 연대순 브라우징에 대하여 긍정적이었다. 또한 실험참가자들은 단어 레이블보다 아이콘 레이블을 더 잘 이해하는 것으로 파악되었고, 이는 실험참가자 개인의 학습정도에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the organization system and the labeling system of information architecture of a website for the elderly. To achieve this aims, we selected a representative website, i.e., Naver, and the participants were conducted given three types of search tasks using their own information literacy skills and they were answered to the questionnaire and an additional interview, if necessary. A total of 74 valid data were collected through the experiment, and we analyzed the data using SPSS Ver. 20. It revealed that Naver received a positive evaluation in the organization system aspect, particularly its systematic subject categorization and chronological browsing mechanisms. Old adults were preferred the icon-based labeling than the text-based labeling system, and showed a significant difference among their academic backgrounds.
