Abstract

This paper examines the characteristics of the JASIST (Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology) editorial board members and their research areas through author co-citation analysis, and investigates whether the editorial board members’ research areas are related with keywords frequently appeared in the journal’s research articles. In the process, research areas of the central members and those appeared most frequently as keywords will be identified. Research areas of the 36 members on the JASIST editorial board are collected and categorized to compare with the categorization of keywords extracted from 169 research articles published in JASIST, 2013. The result shows that members with higher centrality in the co-citation network are related with research areas that are also dominant in the distribution of article keywords. The areas include information behavior and searching, information retrieval, information system design, and bibliometrics.

Abstract

Authoritative as well as objective information on ranking or dominant research areas of academic departments/schools in a certain discipline is essential for the graduate school applicants. In this study, we performed an informetric analysis to identify dominant research areas in the top 10 U.S. LIS schools. We used two different datasets of research productivity and research interests of the LIS faculty. The correspondence analysis method was employed to graphically display the association between research areas and the LIS schools. We found that the research productivity data collected from SSCI database generated a very informative map presenting which research areas were dominant in which LIS schools. We also found that for the two most productive subject areas in LIS over the past 10-year period, the proportion of research articles in information retrieval decreased to a great extent in the recent 5-year period, whereas that of information seeking behavior showed an almost same degree of increase.

본 연구는 국내 문헌정보학 분야의 4대 학술지를 대상으로 구조적토픽모델과 문헌 네트워크 분석을 사용하여 연구영역을 분석하고, 각 학술지의 공통 및 특화된 연구영역을 식별하여 문헌정보학 분야의 학술 지형을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구결과, 문헌정보학 분야의 학술지들이 각기 다른 연구영역에 중점을 두고 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 한국문헌정보학회지는 문헌정보학 분야의 전반적인 연구영역을 가장 포괄적으로 다루고 있으며, 한국비블리아학회지 또한 유사한 연구경향을 보였으나 도서관경영 및 도서관프로그램과 관련된 주제 선호도가 높았다. 한국도서관․정보학회지는 문헌정보학 전반의 연구주제 및 타 학술지에 비해 학교도서관이나 독서교육과 관련된 분야에 특화된 주제들을 많이 다루고 있으며, 정보관리학회지는 정보기술 및 정보학 전반에 대한 주제적 비중이 높아 다른 세 학술지와 비교했을 때 주제적 차별성이 있었다. 본 연구는 학술지별 주요 연구영역을 파악함으로써 연구자들의 논문투고와 학술지의 주제 특성화 및 다양화를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the academic landscape of the field of Library and Information Science by analyzing the research areas of the four major domestic journals using structural topic modeling and network analysis. The results show that each journal focuses on different research areas. The Journal of the Korean Society for Library and Information Science covers the most comprehensive range of research areas in the field, while the Journal of the Korean Biblia Society for Library and Information Science shows a similar research trend but with a higher preference for research areas related to library management and library programs. The Journal of Korean Library and Information Science Society deals more with topics related to school libraries and reading education and the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management focuses more on information technology and information science. This study is able to provide valuable foundational data for researchers in submitting their papers and for the topical specialization and diversification of the journals in the field of Library and Information Science.

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

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.
