본 연구는 국내 학술지 중 상용DB를 통하여 원문서비스를 제공하지 않고 무료로 원문을 공개하는 309종의 학술지들이 어떤 이유로 무료서비스를 선택하였는지를 파악하기 위하여 학술지 편집인들을 대상으로 조사하였다. 또한 이들 무료 오픈액세스 학술지 편집인의 오픈액세스에 대한 인식과 지지도 및 지지이유에 대해서도 파악해보고자 하였다. 연구결과 오픈액세스를 선택한 이유는 학술논문의 무료이용 확대와 인용 확대의지, 해당 학문분야의 국제적 분위기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 학술지 편집인들은 오픈액세스에 대하여 알고 있는 경우가 약 65%, 지지하는 응답자가 약 75%였다. 지지 이유로는 학술연구성과 공유, 동료연구자의 이용가능성 확대, 학술지 인지도 향상 등을 제시하였다.

Abstract

This study surveyed editors of 309 gratis open access journals in Korea in order to examine the reason why they decided to open their journals to the public on the Web. Also this study examined their perceptions and attitudes toward open access publishing. The main reasons of open access publishing in Korea were expansion of free use, increasing citation, and international trends regarding open access in their scholarly fields. Also, 65% of all respondents were aware of the concepts of open access, and 75% supported open access. The reasons of supporting open access were sharing of research results with the public, increasing the availability of peer researchers, and enhancing journal reputations.

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 연구정보시스템의 이용성을 높이기 위해 필요한 이용자 인터페이스 설계 원칙이 무엇인지 확인하고, 연구정보시스템의 개발 및 유지, 보수에 지속적으로 이용할 수 있는 휴리스틱의 개발을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 문헌조사와 이용자 인터페이스 분야의 전문가와 연구정보시스템의 이용자를 대상으로 심층인터뷰와 참여 관찰을 실시하여, 연구정보시스템의 이용자 인터페이스 설계 원칙과 그러한 원칙을 시스템에 적용하기 위해 필요한 인터페이스 요소가 무엇인지 분석하였다. 분석 결과를 토대로 연구정보시스템의 설계 및 평가에 활용될 수 있는 7차원의 86가지 항목으로 구성된 휴리스틱을 제시하였다.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the design principles for user interface required to increase the usability of research information systems and to develop the heuristics for the research information systems. For this purpose, a series of literature review was conducted to examine the user interface design principles for the research information systems, and the in-depth interview and participant observation were performed on the users of the systems and experts in the field of user interface to investigate the design principles and the interface factors for applying such principles in the systems. Based on the results, the heuristics of 86 items in 7 different dimensions were proposed.

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.
