이 연구에서는 우리나라 토목공학분야 연구자들이 참조하는 정보원의 유형을 인용분석을 통해 조사하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 1)주요 인용정보원은 학술지(55.7%)와 단행본(15.6%)과 회의자료(10.2%) 순이었다. 2)출판 후 10년 이내(26.1%)의 문헌을 가장 많이 인용하였다. 3)핵심학술지는 국내학술지였으며, 상위권 핵심학술지 선호도에서도 국내와 국외문헌의 의존도가 유사하였다. 4)최신자료의 경우 국내문헌을, 출판 이후 경과시간이 오래된 자료의 경우 국외문헌을 선호하였다. 5)국내외 모든 핵심학술지들이 영향력 지수와 즉시성 지수의 값이 동시에 높게 나타나지 않았다.

Abstract

This study analyzes types of primary sources cited by South Korean civil engineers. The results are as follows: 1) primary sources by preference are academic journal (55.7%), book (15.6%), seminar contents (10.2%). 2) documents published within last 10 years (26.1%) are cited most often. 3) domestic journal is the primary academic journal cited, and the finding is similar in preference of top-ranked primary reference (domestic and foreign combined). 4) In terms of time, domestic sources are preferred for up-to-date publications, and foreign sources for relatively non-recent publications. 5) The indices of influence and extemporaneity for both domestic and foreign sources do not show high numbers simultaneously.

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.

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.

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.

이 연구에서는 자관의 학술지 상호인용 및 동시인용 분석을 통하여 단순 피인용빈도 이상의 학술지 인용 패턴 분석을 시도 하였다. 이 연구를 통해 학술지의 중요도 파악에 있어서 자관 인용 네트워크의 구조적 분석이 인용빈도 이상의 자관 인용 패턴에 대한 설명을 하고 있는지와, Web of Science에서 제공하는 JIF 이외의 일반적 인용 지수 서비스들을 고려해야 할 필요성이 있는지를 살펴보았다. Y대학교 생명시스템대학 생명공학과 전·현직 교수진이 2006년과 2007년에 발표한 학술논문의 인용 네트워크 분석 및 Web of Science 이외의 일반적 인용 지수들간의 관계를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자관의 상호인용 네트워크를 통해 자관의 연구 분야를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 자관의 동시인용 네트워크 지수들은 자관 인용 네트워크의 구조적 속성을 반영하는 인용 패턴의 설명이 가능하며 이는 피인용빈도와 유사하면서도 추가적인 설명력을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 셋째, 일반적 인용지수로는 JIF 외에도 합산지향지수, h-index와 같은 다양한 일반적 인용 지수들의 설명력이 다양하므로 이를 이용하여 다각적으로 고려하는 것이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 학술지 평가에서 인용 색인 데이터베이스의 수록범위보다는 지수의 유형에 따른 설명력 차이가 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 자관의 인용 네트워크 분석은 정보서비스의 여러 분야에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Abstract

In this study, we testify that network structural attributes of a citation network can explain other aspects of journal citation behaviors and the importances of journals. And we also testify various citation impact indicators of journals including JIF and h-index to verify the difference among them especially focused on their ability to explain an institution's local features of citation behaviors. An institutional citation network is derived using the articles published in 2006-2007 by biotechnology faculties of Y University. And various journal citation impact indicators including JIF, SJR, h-index, EigenFactor, JII are gathered from different service sites such as Web of Science, SCImago, EigenFactor.com, Journal-Ranking.com. As a results, we can explain the institution's 5 research domains with inter-citation network. And we find that the co-citation network structural features can show explanations on the patterns of institutional journal citation behavior different from the simple cited frequency of the institution or patterns based on general citation indicators. Also We find that journal ranks with various citation indicators have differences and it implies that total-based indices, average-based indices, and hybrid index(h-index) explain different aspects of journal citation pattern. We also reveal that the coverage of citation DB doesn't be a matter in the journal ranking. Analyzing the citation networks derived from an institution's research outputs can be a useful and effective method in developing several library services.
