Abstract

This study examined two characteristics of library and information science (LIS) journals in Korea through analysis of journal coupling with common authors. This study also illustrated the trend of Korean LIS research in the recent decade. The notable change is that record management and archival studies settle in LIS domain as a major research area. We introduced two indicators, Publishing Preference Index (PPI) and Researcher Attraction Index (RAI), based on the degree of common authors among journals. Both indicators revealed notable changes in author coupling, including reversal of PPIs in some journals, which can be interpreted as proof of changes in their author groups. The RAI analysis, which measured the degree of journals’ attractiveness to Korean LIS researchers and author sharing between two journals, illustrated the journals’ states in a domain; this result can help find both an isolated journal and strongly bonded journals in the specific domain. Journal coupling with common authors introduced in this study proved to be an effective investigative method for illustrating journals’ states in a specified domain as well as a multidisciplinary area.

학술지의 인용빈도를 특정하여 산출된 지수로 단일 논문의 영향력을 평가하는 것에 대한 비판으로 인해 단일 논문의 인용 영향력을 측정하는 인용지수에 대한 연구가 다양하게 시도되었다. 이 연구에서는 8개의 단일 논문 인용영향력 평가 지수를 살펴보고 KCI 논문 데이터베이스를 대상으로 각 인용지수의 분야별 편향성을 조사하여 보았다. 대상 지수는 단순 인용빈도, 페이지랭크, f-값, CCI, c-지수, 단일문헌 h-지수, 단일문헌 hs-지수, cl-지수였다. 분석결과 페이지랭크가 학문 분야별 균등성, 학문 분야 내에서 학술지별 균등성 영역에서 가장 편향성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 단순 인용빈도는 특정 학문분야나 특정 학술지에 편향된 결과를 산출할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. KCI 데이터베이스에서는 논문의 단순 인용빈도만 제공하고 있는데, 분야별 균등성을 가장 잘 유지하는 지수인 논문 페이지랭크를 함께 제공할 필요가 있다. 아울러 인용한 문헌의 인용빈도만으로 산출이 가능해서 이용자의 검색 결과로부터 바로 산출할 수 있는 지역 네크워크 지수 중에서는 cl-지수가 가장 균등성을 잘 유지하므로 계산 과정과 서비스가 손쉬운 지수로 함께 제공하는 것도 검토해야 한다.

Abstract

The impact of a journal is commonly used as the impact of an individual paper within that journal. It is problematic to interpret a journal’s impact as a single paper’s impact of the journal, so there are several researches to measure a single paper’s impact with its own citation counts. This study applied 8 impact indicators to Korean Citation Index database and examined discipline bias of each indicator. Analyzed indicators are simple citation counts, PageRank, f-value, CCI, c-index, single publication h-index, single publication hs-index, and cl-index. PageRank has the least discipline bias at highly ranked papers and journal bias in a discipline. On the contrary, simple citation counts showed strongly biased results toward a certain discipline or a journal. KCI database provides only simple citation counts. It needs to show PageRank (global indicator) to discover influential papers in diverse areas. Furthermore it needs to consider to provide the best of local indicators. Local indicators can be calculated only with papers in users’ search results because they uses citation counts of citing papers and the number of references. They are more efficient than global indicators which explore the whole database. KCI should also consider to provide Cl-index (local indicator).

대출데이터는 대학도서관에 축적된 중요한 데이터로서 도서관 장서개발이나 서비스 개선에 활용될 수 있는 중요한 데이터이다. 이 연구는 대출빈도를 기반으로 한 다양한 대출관련지수를 비교분석하여 지수별 특성을 파악한 후 도서관 운영에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. A 대학도서관의 10개 단과대학별 대출데이터를 대상으로 비교분석한 지수는 대출빈도, 대출엔트로피, 대출 h-지수, 대출주제차별지수 등 총 4개의 지수이다. 이 지수들을 적용하여 단과대학별 대출현황을 분석하였고 단과대학별로 나타나는 대출주제의 특성을 표하는 각 지수의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 대출 엔트로피는 여러 대학이 공통으로 선호하는 주제를 표현하는 성향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 대출주제차별지수는 특정대학에서만 특화되어 대출되는 주제를 표현하는 성향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Circulation data is a key data set of academic libraries in terms of collection development and service improvement This study aims to identify the characteristics of circulation measures and their feasibility. This study collected the circulation data of 10 colleges in a university and analyzed 4 measures based on the circulation data: circulation frequency, circulation entropy, circulation h-index, and circulation divergence. These measures are to present the circulation topics of each college. This study identified that circulation entropy tends to present general topics which are popular for many colleges, but circulation divergence tends to present specific topics which are preferred by a specific college.

Abstract

Since information scientists have begun trying to quantify significant research trends in scientific publications, ‘-metrics’ research such as ‘bibliometrics’, ‘scientometrics’, ‘informetrics’, ‘webometrics’, and ‘citation analysis’ have been identified as crucial areas of information science. To illustrate the dynamic research activities in these areas, this study investigated the major contributors of ‘-metrics’ research for the last decade at three levels: nations, institutions, and documents. ‘-metrics’ literature of this study was obtained from the Science Citation Index for the years 2001-2011. In this analysis, we used Pathfinder network, PNNC algorithm, PageRank and several indicators based on h-index. In terms of international collaborations, USA and England were identified as major countries. At the institutional level, Katholieke University, Leuven and the University of Amsterdam in Europe and Indiana University and the Office of Naval Research in the USA have led co-research projects in informetrics areas. At the document level, Hirsch’s h-index paper and Ingwersen’s web impact factor paper were identified as the most influential work by two methods: PageRank and single paper h-index.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify topic areas of academic library research using two informetric methods; word clustering and Pathfinder network. For the data analysis, 139 articles published in major library and information science journals from 2005 to 2009 were collected from the Korean Science Citation Index database. The keywords that represent research topics were gathered from two sections: an abstract and titles in references. Results showed that reference titles usefully represent topics in detail, and combining abstracts and reference titles can produce an expanded topic map.
