대학생들의 전자저널 수용 현황을 파악하기 위하여 5개 대학교에서 설강중인 11개 교과목 수강생을 대상으로 전자저널에 대한 인식과 이용 경험, 목적, 방법, 수준, 선호도, 만족도, 문제점 등에 대해 설문조사를 수행하였다. 총 813건의 응답을 분석한 결과, 대학생 일반의 전자저널과 서비스 인식 수준은 각각 63.7%와 59.9%, 이용경험자는 국내저널 43.8%, 해외 전자저널 18.0%로 나타났다. 인식경로는 교수 소개, 우연한 발견, 도서관이용교육을 통한 것이며, 이용빈도는 극히 낮다. 전공계열과 대학 규모에 따라 인식과 이용에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있다. 주된 이용 목적은 과제해결이고, 교외와 도서관내에서 이용하며, 간략검색을 한다. 접근 및 검색과 자료획득에 어려움이 있으나, 만족도는 보통 이상이다. 비이용은 기회나 지식의 결여에 기인하나, 추후 수용의지는 긍정적으로(93.8%) 나타났다. 문헌정보학전공 학생은 기타전공 학생에 비해 전자저널 및 자관서비스 인식, 전자저널 이용경험은 높지만, 검색 경로와 방법에는 큰 차이가 없다. 연구결과에 기초하여, 전자저널 수용 증진 방안을 제언하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the acceptance of the electronic journals among undergraduate students. Using a survey questionnaire, this study collected the data collected from 813 students taking 11 courses offered in five different universities. The levels of electronic jounal and its service awareness appeared to be low as 63.7% and 59.9% respectively. Only 43.8% of the respondents report their experience of using Korean e-journals. There is a statistically significant difference in use among college groups and students' major of study. E-journals are mostly used off-campus and within the library, using simple search techniques. In spite of difficulties in search and gathering information, the satisfaction level marked above average. Reasons of nonuse are lack of opportunity and knowledge. However, 93.8% of nonusers report a willingness to use the e-journals in the future. LIS students show higher e-journal awareness and use experience compared to non-LIS students. Yet, the levels of using simple search techniques and satisfaction show little difference from those of the non-LIS students. The findings of the study suggest implications to promote the acceptance of e-journals among college students.

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.

Abstract

This paper aims to find out the kinds of sub-topics that were researched in relation to Information Literacy (IL). The text mining method was applied to the articles with ‘information literacy’ in the fields of the descriptor, title and abstract in the LISA Database. Also, out of 214 journals that published these articles, those with the top ten highest frequencies were listed and analyzed. Research results show that 908 articles on information literacy were published in 214 journals and ‘User training’ and ‘Students’ were major descriptors in the sub-topic area of information literacy. Also, Reference Services Review and The Journal of Academic Librarianship are two key journals in IL research as they have the highest frequency of related articles and have shown increasing trends.

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

This study constructed an ontology targeting journal articles and evaluated its performance. Also, the performance of a triple structure ontology was compared with the knowledge base of an inverted index file designed for a simple keyword search engine. The coverage was three years of articles published in the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management from 2007 to 2009. Protégé was used to construct an ontology, whilst utilizing an inverted index file to compare performance. The concept ontology was manually established, and the bibliography ontology was automatically constructed to produce an OWL concept ontology and an OWL bibliography ontology, respectively. This study compared the performance of the knowledge base of the ontology, using the Jena search engine with the performance of an inverted index file using the Lucene search engine. As a result, The Lucene showed higher precision rate, but Jena showed higher recall rate.

Abstract

There have been little comprehensive research for studying impact of foreign journals on Korean scientists. The main reason for this is because there was no extensive citation index database of domestic journals for analysis. 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 foreign journals was examined by using KSCD that covers Korean core journals. This research covers (1) analysis of foreign document types cited, (2) analysis of citation counts of foreign journals by subject and the ratio of citing different disciplines, (3) analysis of language and country of foreign documents cited, (4) analysis of publishers of journals and whether or not journals are listed on global citation index services and (5) analysis for current situation of subscribing to foreign electronic journals in Korea. The results of this research would be useful for establishing strategies for licensing foreign electronic journals and for information services. From this research, immediacy citation rate (average 1.46%), peak-time (average 3.9 years) and half-life (average 8 years) of cited foreign journals were identified. It was also found that Korean scientistis tend to cite journals covered in SCI(E) or SCOPUS, and 90% of cited foreign journals have been licensed by institutions in Korea.

기존 메타데이터의 품질 측정 방법은 오류가 발생한 레코드를 단순히 계수하여 그 비율로 품질을 측정하였다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 메타데이터 요소별로 상대적 중요 정도를 나타내는 가중치를 적용함으로서, 메타데이터 품질을 체계적으로 계량화 하는 측정 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 구체적인 가중치 부여 방법으로 엔트로피, 이용자 과업, 그리고 이용 통계를 활용하였다. 또한 이들을 결합하여 통합 가중치를 제시하고 실제 서비스 되고 있는 학술지 기사 메타데이터에 적용하였다. 실험 결과, 엔트로피 가중치 방법은 데이터 자체의 특성을 잘 반영하며, 이용자 과업을 적용한 방법은 이용자의 정보요구를 해결하는 필요한 메타데이터 요소를 제시하며, 통합 가중치는 특정 메타데이터 요소의 오류에 영향을 받지 않으면서 균형 잡힌 측정값을 제시하여 계량화 방법에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Most metadata quality measurement employ simple techniques by counting error records. This study presents a new quantitative measurement of metadata quality using advanced weighting schemes in order to overcome the limitations of exiting measurement techniques. Entropy, user tasks, and usage statistics were used to calculate the weights. Integrated weights were presented by combining these weights and were applied to actual journal article metadata. Entropy weights were found to reflect the characteristics of the data itself. User tasks presented the required metadata elements to solve user's information need. Integrated weights showed balanced measures without being affected by the influence of error elements, This finding indicates the new method being suitable for quantitative measurement of metadata quality.

본 연구는 사용자의 중심의 시스템을 지향하고 있는 현 시점에서 사용자 인터페이스 연구의 동향을 분석하는 것이 그 어느 때 보다 중요하다고 보고, 최근 10년 동안에 정보학분야에서 수행된 사용자 인터페이스 연구를 정량적으로 그리고 정성적으로 살펴보았다. 즉, 6개의 정보학관련 학술잡지에 수록된 128편의 논문을 분석하여 다음과 같은 4가지의 연구질문에 답하였다: 1) 어떠한 주제들이 연구되었는지, 2) 어떠한 학술지가 주로 어떠한 주제의 논문을 출판하는지, 3) 어떠한 방법론이 어떤 주제에서 많이 사용되고 있는지, 4) 연도별 연구변화는 어떠한지. 이에 따라 본 연구는 주제별 분포, 학회지별 분포, 학회지별 주제 분포, 방법론별 학회지 분포, 방법론별 주제 분포, 연도별 주제 분포와 연도별 학회지 분포를 살펴보고 정성적으로 각각의 논문들을 주제별로 리뷰하였다. 그 결과, 「정보관리학회지」가 비율적으로 이 주제를 가장 많이 다루고 있는 것으로 나타났고, ‘웹사이트 평가’, ‘탐색 인터페이스’, ‘정보설계’, ‘상호작용 스타일 설계’ 순으로 연구가 많이 수행되었다. 또한 방법론은 서베이 연구 방법론, 비개입적 연구방법론, 실험연구 방법론 순으로 많이 사용된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 사용자 인터페이스 연구는 2000년대 초반에 후반보다 더 많은 연구가 수행된 것을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 사용자 인터페이스 연구가 보다 확고한 정보학의 소주제 영역으로 자리 잡기 위해서는 폭넓은 연구주제와 연구방법론의 선택이 필요하다고 본다.

Abstract

The aims of this study are to provide an overview of research trends on user interface in the field of Information Science. This study attempts to address the following four questions: 1) what are the research areas or subject topics, 2) what are the patterns of user interface publication, 3) what methods are often used to what topics, and 4) what are the changes in the subject topics and research methods over the past ten years. It analyzed a total of 128 research articles published in four Korean LIS journals and one U.S. journal. The study also reviewed 72 articles published in Korean journals for identifying research trends. The study found that the most productive areas were ‘web site evaluation’, followed by ‘search interface’, ‘information design’ and ‘interaction style design’. The most frequently used research methods were survey methods, followed by unobtrusive methods, and experiments. Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management published the most articles on research of user interface. The research of user interface was conducted more frequently in the early 2000s than later years.
