이 연구는 발행된 연도의 평균 인용빈도를 보여주는 지수인 학술지의 즉시성지수를 수집한 후 즉시성지수의 증감에 영향을 준 구체적인 요인을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 2008년 JCR에 수록된 생물학(biology) 분야의 학술지 71종에 관한 즉시성지수를 수집하였고, 즉시성지수 값에 직간접적으로 영향을 준 것으로 보이는 여러 항목에 관한 데이터를 수집하여 분석하였다. 단순상관관계분석, 요인분석, 회귀분석 등을 실시한 결과 즉시성지수 총분산의 67.64%가 외형, 수집가능성, 예정호 및 연령, 언어 등의 요인으로 설명되었다. 이 요인들을 독립변수로 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 통계적으로 유의하였다. 일반적으로 학술지의 즉시성지수에 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 기대되는 것은 학술지의 인지도이지만, 이 연구에서는 학술지의 면수와 같은 외형이 즉시성지수에 직접적인 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 오픈액세스 학술지가 일반 학술지에 비해 즉시성지수가 더 높았다. 또한 즉시성지수가 높은 학술지는 연간 발행횟수가 많고, PMC에 등재되는 사례가 흔하며, 발행국은 주로 미국과 영국이라는 것이 확인되었다.

Abstract

This paper examined what factors affect the immediacy index showing the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. Not only Seventy-one immediacy indexes for subject field biology on JCR 2008 edition were gathered, but also many characteristics of scholarly journals that may influence the indexes directly or indirectly were aggregated. Simple correlation coefficient analysis, factor analysis, and regression analysis were performed on the paper. Therefore factors such as physical volume, availability, forthcoming issue, age and language explaining 67.64% of total variance were identified. After regression analysis using these factors as independent variables, the results were statistically significant. The results showed physical volumes, the total pages of publication, have an influence upon immediacy indexes obviously, although it is expected that journal reputations may affect immediacy indexes. Generally open access journals had high immediacy indexes. High ranked journals on immediacy index were apt to be issued frequently, uploaded very often on PMC, and published in major countries including United States and United Kingdom.

Abstract

This study explores knowledge structures of science and technology disciplines using a cocitation analysis of journal subject categories with the publication data of a science & technology oriented university in Korea. References cited in the articles published by the faculty of the university were analyzed to produce MDS maps and network centralities. For the whole university research domain, six clusters were created including clusters of Biology related subjects, Medicine related subjects, Chemistry plus Engineering subjects, and multidisciplinary sciences plus other subjects of multidisciplinary nature. It was found that subjects of multidisciplinary nature and Biology related subjects function as central nodes in knowledge communication network in science and technology. Same analysis procedure was applied to two natural science disciplines and another two engineering disciplines to present knowledge structures of the departmental research domains.

Abstract

In this study, research topic areas in Korean and American medical schools were analyzed to detect each nation’s major research areas. CLINICAL NEUROLOGY was identified as the Korean researchers’ major subject area by the total number of journals and ‘RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE & MEDICAL IMAGING’ was the most major area by the total number of articles. On the other hand, American researchers’ top major subject area was the one same area according to all analysis, BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. In addition, Korean researchers showed publishing tendency related to journal preference in several subject areas.

Abstract

The domain of digital libraries is one of interdisciplinary fields since it contains various aspects of digital libraries. The main findings of digital library interdisciplinarity have been discussed in terms of contents, management and infrastructural technologies within the field of library and information science. The purpose of this study is to identify and widen the interdisciplinary structure of digital library domain by analyzing the collaborations from different disciplines. With 1,394 research articles of digital libraries from 1997 to 2010, the analysis of collaborations of authors from various disciplines was conducted. The results identified that three subject areas of authors such as Information science and library science, Computer science and Engineering were found as the centers to collaborate with various disciplines. In addition, sub-domains of digital library were recognized in terms of core digital library area, natural science area, medical related area and biology and medical area. The findings of this study depict the domain of digital libraries as a variety of subject areas since digital library domain is characterized with both research and practices.

이 연구는 국내 연구자의 학술지 논문 발표 자료를 활용하여 학문분야간 학술지 공유도를 산출하고, 이로부터 국내 학문분야의 구조를 나타내는 네트워크를 생성하였다. 생성된 패스파인더 네트워크는 ‘생물학’분야를 핵심으로 하는 생명과학 분야가 중앙을 차지하고 있었으며, 인문학과 의약학, 공학에 속한 학문끼리는 학문간 연계가 매우 강하게 나타났다. 가중 네트워크로부터 각 학문분야의 중심성과 학제성을 파악하기 위해서 엔트로피 공식과 가중 네트워크 중심성 척도를 적용한 결과 전역 중심 학문, 지역 중심 학문, 전역 연계 학문, 기타 일반 학문의 네 가지 유형을 식별할 수 있었다. 가중 네트워크를 이진 네트워크로 변환한 패스파인더 네트워크에서는 다수의 약한 링크가 모인 데이트 허브가 드러나지 않았으나, 가중 네트워크에서의 중심성 지수인 삼각매개중심성의 측정 범위를 지역에서부터 전역까지 달리하며 측정한 결과로부터 ‘인지과학’분야와 같은 학제성이 높은 데이트 허브를 식별할 수 있었다.

Abstract

The main purposes of this study are to construct a Korean science network from journal contributions data of Korean researchers, and to analyze the structure and characteristics of the network. First of all, the association matrix of 140 scholarly domains are calculated based on the number of contributions in common journals, and then the Pathfinder network algorithm is applied to those matrix. The resulting network has several hubs such as ‘Biology’, ‘Korean Language & Linguistics’, ‘Physics’, etc. The entropy formula and several centrality measures for the weighted networks are adopted to identify the centralities and interdisciplinarity of each scholarly domain. In particular, the date hubs, which have several weak links, are successively distinguished by local and global triangle betweenness centrality measures.

데이터 학술지와 데이터 논문이 오픈과학 패러다임에서 데이터 공유와 재이용이라는 학술활동이 등장하여 지속적으로 성장하고 있다. 본 논문은 영향력있는 다학제적 분야의 데이터 학술지인 Scientific Data에 게제된 총 713건의 논문을 대상으로 저자, 인용, 주제분야 측면을 분석하였다. 그 결과 저자의 주된 주제 영역은 생명공학, 물리학 등으로 나타났으며, 공저자 수는 평균 12명이다. 공저 형태를 네트워크로 살펴보면, 특정 연구자 그룹이 패쇄적으로 공저활동을 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 인용의 주제영역을 살펴보면, 데이터 논문 저자의 주제영역과 크게 다르지 않게 나타났으나, 방법론을 주로 다루는 학술지의 인용 비중이 높은 것은 데이터 논문의 특징으로 볼 수 있다. 데이터 논문 저자의 키워드를 사용하여 동시출현단어분석 네트워크로 살펴본 데이터 논문의 주제영역은 생물학이 중심이며, 구체적으로 해양생태, 암, 게놈, 데이터베이스, 기온 등의 세부 주제 영역을 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 다학제학문 분야를 다루는 데이터 학술지이지만, 데이터 학술지 출간에 관한 논의를 일찍부터 시작해온 생명공학 분야에 집중된 현상을 보여준다.

Abstract

Data journals and data papers have grown and considered an important scholarly practice in the paradigm of open science in the context of data sharing and data reuse. This study investigates a total of 713 data papers published in Scientific Data in terms of author, citation, and subject areas. The findings of the study show that the subject areas of core authors are found as the areas of Biotechnology and Physics. An average number of co-authors is 12 and the patterns of co-authorship are recognized as several closed sub-networks. In terms of citation status, the subject areas of cited publications are highly similar to the areas of data paper authors. However, the citation analysis indicates that there are considerable citations on the journals specialized on methodology. The network with authors’ keywords identifies more detailed areas such as marine ecology, cancer, genome, database, and temperature. This result indicates that biology oriented-subjects are primary areas in the journal although Scientific Data is categorized in multidisciplinary science in Web of Science database.
