Cited-by Linking 서비스는 CrossRef에서 제공하는 주요 서비스 중 하나로 해당 논문이 DOI를 통하여 얼마나 인용되었는지 누적하여 집계된 데이터이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 KISTI의 학술정보통합관리시스템에서 월단위로 구축․관리하는 Cited-by Linking 데이터를 분석하여 자연과학과 공학 분야의 인용 패턴을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 전체 기탁된 21만 건 중 자연과학과 공학 분야 총 170,999건(315종)을 분석 대상으로 하고, 2016년 3월까지 누적된 Cited-by Linking 데이터를 수집하였다. 연구의 분석 결과, 첫째, 글로벌하게 인용될 가능성에서 사용 언어는 영향을 미치고 있으며, 둘째, SCIE 및 SCOPUS 등재 여부 역시 인용가능성에 상당 부분 기여하고 있음을 확인하였다. 셋째, 자연과학 분야는 거의 동일한 주제 분야에서 인용을 받고 있으며, 상대적으로 공학 분야는 타주제 분야에서 더 인용 받고 있음을 파악하였다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 자연과학과 공학 분야의 세부주제 분야별 인용 행태를 규명하고, 향후, 인용 행태에 관한 연구에서 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

Abstract

Cited-by Linking Service is one of the CrossRef’s information services that allows you to discover how your publications are being cited and to incorporate that information into your online publication platform. This study tries to investigate citation patterns in the field of both Natural Science and Engineering using all of DOI assigned articles and Cited-by Linking data which are accumulated and managed by KISTI. The investigating approach is designed to verify the theory of 1) cognitive accessibility, 2) ‘perceived quality and significance’ and 3) ‘subject relativity’. For cognitive accessibility verification the fulltext language portion of Korean and English between “Cited DOI Source Data” and “NOT Cited DOI Source Data” was compared. For perceived quality and significance verification the availability of the “Cited DOI Source Data” and “NOT Cited DOI Source Data” from SCIE and SCOPUS was employed. For subject relativity DOI data were classified and analysed on the basis of OECD subject classification scheme. Findings are that global citability is closely related to the fulltext language of the articles and their quality and significance. And in the natural science field most of citations are from the same subject categories, while relatively more citations are from other subject categories in the engineering field.

Abstract

Electronic publishing has influenced, and in some ways changed, information seeking, reading patterns and citation behaviours. This study collected the Cited Half-Lives, the indicator implies the life-span of scholarly journals, from JCR Social Science edition the before and after of the prevalence of electronic journals, and observed if there are some changes in these two periods. The analysis results of eight disciplines show that the average Cited Half-Lives increased in 2007 than in 1994 for seven disciplines except the demography. Especially in the four disciplines of economics, education, finance and sociology, the average Cited Half-Lives increased significantly. This results show that the concentration, researchers cite more recent articles and concentrate their citations on fewer ones, is lightening and the dispersion of citations is actually increasing. With the online availability of articles and journals the old online materials can be often accessed, used and cited more frequently, the more growth potential of Cited Half-Lives are made in a digital environment. Further research needs to investigate if the phenomenon will become more obvious in various disciplines after a few years.

Abstract

The characteristics of citation and centrality measures in citation networks can be identified using multiple linear regression analyses. In this study, we examine the relationships between bibliometric indices and centrality measures in an article-level co-citation network to determine whether the linear model is the best fitting model and to suggest the necessity of data transformation in the analysis. 703 highly cited articles in Physics published in 2004 were sampled, and four indicators were developed as variables in this study: citation counts, degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality in the co-citation network. As a result, the relationship pattern between citation counts and degree centrality in a co-citation network fits a non-linear rather than linear model. Also, the relationship between degree and closeness centrality measures, or that between degree and betweenness centrality measures, can be better explained by non-linear models than by a linear model. It may be controversial, however, to choose non-linear models as the best-fitting for the relationship between closeness and betweenness centrality measures, as this result implies that data transformation may be a necessary step for inferential statistics.

이 연구에서는 웹과 학술지를 통한 학술 커뮤니케이션의 특성을 각각 분석하고, 웹상에서의 학술 커뮤니케이션 패턴이 학문 분야에 따라 어떤 차이를 보이는지 비교하였다. 경제학과 컴퓨터공학정보시스템 분야에서 키워드를 추출하여 이와 관련된 학술적 웹페이지와 학술지 논문을 수집하였고, 이를 학술적 웹페이지의 특성, 웹페이지 동시링크와 학술지 논문 동시인용 데이터의 다차원척도(MDS) 분석, 시간의 흐름에 따른 학술 활동의 변화 등 세 가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 웹과 학술지를 통한 학술 커뮤니케이션에는 공통점과 차이점이 나타났으며, 이런 현상은 두 학문 분야에서 모두 확인되었다. 그리고 웹을 통한 학술 커뮤니케이션의 경우 같은 학문 분야 내의 세부 주제에 따라서 고유한 특성이 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of scholarly communication through the Web and scientific journals are explored, and scholarly communication patterns in two scientific disciplines are compared to reveal the difference. Economics and Computer Science－Information Systems are selected as two disciplines to be analyzed. In the data collection process, 10 keywords are extracted from a database for each subject field, and scholarly Web pages and journal articles related to these keywords are collected and analyzed. Our investigation includes the characteristics of scholarly Web pages, Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) analysis of co-linked Web pages as well as co-cited journal articles, and changes in the scholarly communication activities occurring on the Web and in scientific journals respectively over time. We found certain differences as well as common features in scholarly communication patterns between the Web and scientific journals for both fields of Economics and Computer Science. We also found that scholarly communication occurring on the Web displays unique features for each subtopic within the same field of study.

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.
