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.

초록

본 연구는 Figshare를 통해 공유되고 있는 문헌정보학분야 연구데이터의 유형, 주제, 공개 수준 등을 분석하고 재사용성이 상대적으로 높은 데이터의 특성을 통계적으로 해석해 보았다. 분석 결과 데이터의 유형은 dataset과 paper 유형이, 주제 분야는 open access와 research data가 가장 많은 비중을 차지하였으며, 70%에 가까운 연구데이터가 pdf와 같이 편집과 재사용이 원활하지 않은 형태로 공개되어 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 연구데이터의 특성과 활용 정도간의 관계 분석 결과, 주제에 있어서는 APC(Article Processing Charge)를 비롯한 open access 영역이 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 데이터 유형에 있어서는 paper의 활용도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

This study analyzed the type, subject and open level of research data in the field of library and information science field shared by Figshare, and statistically analyzed the characteristics of data with relatively high recyclability. The results of the analysis showed that datasets and papers were most common data types, and open access and research data were the most common keywords of data, and that 70% of the data were published in a form that can not be processed mechanically such as pdf. As a result of analysis of the relationship between characteristics of research data and degree of sharing, open access areas such as APC (Article Processing Charge) were found to be most common in the subject. However in data type, gray literature such as paper found to be highly utilized rather than dataset.
