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.

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.

최근 대학에서는 다양하게 변화하고 있는 실무현장과 학술연구분야를 반영하여 교과과정을 개편하자는 요구가 다양하게 나타나고 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 교육과정 개편에 필요한 해외 문헌정보학 교육과정의 동향을 파악하고자 세 가지 측면에서 미국 문헌정보학 교과과정에 개설되어 있는 교과목을 분석하였다. 교과목 분석에 적용된 기준은 국가직무능력표준(NCS)의 문헌정보관리 직무단위, 한국연구재단의 국가과학기술표준분류와 학술연구분야 분류표에 나타난 문헌정보학 주제 분류이다. 세 가지 측면으로 분석한 결과 공통되게 나타난 현상은 시스템 구축설계 및 정보기술분야의 교과목 수가 많은 것이며 도서관 및 정보센터 경영과 이용자서비스도 교과목이 많은 주제 분야인 것으로 조사되었다.

Abstract

Since new issues and topics are emerging in the information and library science fields, diverse needs are identified to enhance the curriculum of library and information science education. This study investigated curriculum of library and information science in US and identified the topics of classes in the curriculum by the three aspects such as competency areas, scientific and technology category, and research fields. Consequently, topics related various information technology including system design and implement are the most popular topics in all analyses. Library and information center management and user service are also major topics of the curriculum.

오픈액세스 학술지는 무료로 원문에 접근할 수 있다는 특성을 부각시키면서 학술 연구자들이 학술정보를 찾는 주요 정보서비스로 자리를 잡아가고 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 정보환경이 변화하면서 오픈액세스 학술지 서비스의 실효성을 확보하기 위해서 서비스의 개선과 확장에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같은 환경적 변화를 반영하여 차세대 오픈액세스 학술지 서비스에 대한 방안을 기존 학술정보서비스의 서비스 요소를 분석하여 도출하고자 하였다. 분석결과 기존 학술정보서비스에서는 이용자의 참여를 유도하는 서비스가 부족한 것으로 나타났고 개방성 역시 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 오픈액세스 차세대 모형을 위해 제시된 요소는 총 4개 영역으로 학술논문 구성 요소별 제공 및 멀티미디어 제공, 부가 정보 검색, 개방형 학술정보 공유 서비스, 모바일 서비스 등이다.

Abstract

Open access journal has been one of the major academic information sources for researchers characterizing itself as free resource. Recently, as competition among academic information service provides becomes intense, open access journal also needs to enhance its service and expand information service function. This study aims to propose service features for next generation service of open access journals by analyzing service features of leading journal database services. As a result, four service features are suggested such as journal article components and multimedia features, expanded searching features, social service features and mobile information service.

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.

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.

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.
