대학소속 연구자들의 연구 분야가 다변화되면서 대학도서관에서는 서비스 운영을 위하여 학과별 주제 분야를 파악하는 것이 중요한 과제로 인식되고 있다. 이 연구는 대학 학과 소속구성원들의 학술지 논문 서지사항을 분석하여 학과별 주제특성을 다차원적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 게재한 학술논문을 분석하여 1차적으로 해당 학과의 주제영역을 파악하고자 하였으며 심층적으로 주제영역을 분석하기 위하여 해당 논문들이 인용한 학술지를 조사하여 확장된 주제영역을 조사하였다. 또한 상위 인용된 학술지를 대상으로 네트워크 분석을 하여 학술지간 관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 학과별 주제 분야별 학술지 이용현황에 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었으며 특정 주제 분야의 경우 학술지 종수와 논문 수에 따라 주제 분야의 중요도가 비례하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 특정분야의 경우 소수의 학술지에서 많은 논문이 인용되고 있는 현상이 있으며 게재하는 주제 분야와 인용하는 주제 분야의 중요도가 일치하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

As topics of researchers become diverse horizontally or vertically, academic libraries have difficulties to identify the dynamic change of researchers' needs for academic publications. This research aims to illustrate the topic areas of researchers in a department of university by analyzing bibliographies of their publications. First, researchers' publications were used to discover the topic areas where the researchers had published. Second, the cited publications in those papers were analysed to identify the expanded topic areas of these researchers. Finally, highly cited journals were analyzed by network analysis method. The major finding is that the importance of topic areas by the number of journals was not necessarily proportional to that by the number of papers. Researchers have a tendency to use many papers in a small number of journals in a certain topic area. Furthermore, the importance of topic areas discovered by researchers' publications was not the same as that discovered by researchers' citations.

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.

구조적 초록은 학술 논문의 주제를 표현하는 역할을 하여 학술 논문을 처리하는데 중요한 요소로 인식되어왔다. 이 연구에서는 구조적 초록을 구성하는 세부 필드의 속성을 4개로 분석하고 초록의 구조를 활용하여 문서 클러스터링에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 고찰고자 하였다. 구조적 초록의 필드 속성을 문서 클러스터링에 적용한 결과 클러스터링 기법간의 편차가 있었으나 연구 목적이 제공하는 정보량에 비해 주제성이 커서 클러스터링 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 분석 결과 특정 필드에 특화되어 출현하는 필드 종속적인 단어가 발생하는 것으로 나타나 필드 종속적인 단어를 배제하고 집단내 평균연결 기법을 적용하였을 때는 클러스터링의 성능이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Abstract

Structured abstracts have been regarded as an essential information factor to represent topics of journal articles. This study aims to provide an unconventional view to utilize structured abstracts with the analysis on sub fields of a structured abstract in depth. In this study, a structured abstract was segmented into four fields, namely, purpose, design, findings, and values/implications. Each field was compared in the performance analysis of document clustering. In result, the purpose statement of an abstract affected on the performance of journal article clustering more than any other fields. Furthermore, certain types of keywords were identified to be excluded in the document clustering to improve clustering performance, especially by Within group average clustering method. These keywords had stronger relationship to a specific abstract field such as research design than the topic of an article.

Abstract

In this study, research topic areas in Korean and American medical schools were analyzed to detect each nation’s major research areas. CLINICAL NEUROLOGY was identified as the Korean researchers’ major subject area by the total number of journals and ‘RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE & MEDICAL IMAGING’ was the most major area by the total number of articles. On the other hand, American researchers’ top major subject area was the one same area according to all analysis, BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. In addition, Korean researchers showed publishing tendency related to journal preference in several subject areas.

Abstract

Since the 1990s, informetrics has grown in popularity among information scientists. Today it is a general discipline that comprises all kinds of metrics, including bibliometrics and scientometrics. To illustrate the dynamic progress of this field, this study aims to identify the structure and infrastructure of the informetrics literature using statistical and profiling methods. Informetrics literature was obtained from the Web of Knowledge for the years 2001-2010. The selected articles contain least one of these keywords: ‘informetrics’, ‘bibliometrics’, ‘scientometrics’, ‘webometrics’, and ‘citation analysis.’ Noteworthy publication patterns of major countries were identified by a statistical method. Intellectual structure analysis shows major research areas, authors, and journals.

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.
