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.

국내 과학기술전반에 걸쳐 주제분야별로 해외 학술지 인용비율 즉 해외 학술지 영향력에 대한 종합적인 분석은 부족한 실정이며 가장 큰 원인은 종합 분석이 가능한 국내 학술지에 대한 대규모 인용색인 데이터베이스의 부재였다. KISTI는 한국 과학기술 인용색인 데이터베이스인 KSCD를 구축하고 한국과학기술인용색인서비스(KSCI)를 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 과학기술분야 핵심 학술지를 포괄하는 KSCD를 활용하여 국내 과학기술분야 연구자들의 해외 학술지 인용행태에 대한 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 범위는 첫째, 해외 인용문헌의 형태별 분석을 둘째, 해외 학술지 인용문헌의 주제별 피인용수 및 타분야 인용비율 분석을, 셋째, 해외 학술지 인용문헌의 언어 및 발행국가 분석을, 넷째, 해외 학술지 발행기관 및 글로벌 인용색인 서비스 등재현황 분석을 마지막으로 국내의 해외 전자저널 구독 현황 분석이다. 해외학술지 인용분석을 통한 연구의 주요성과로는 해외 인용 학술지의 인용절정기(평균 3.9년), 반감기(평균 9년)의 규명과 한국 연구자들이 주로 해외등재학술지를 인용하며 국내에서 인용 해외등재학술지의 90%정도가 전자저널로 구독되고 있음을 밝힌 점이다. 본 연구를 통한 국내 과학자들의 해외 학술지 인용행태 분석 결과는 해외 전자저널 구독 전략 수립에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
