Abstract

The aim of this study was to discover various Library and Information Science (LIS) research areas by examining similarities and differences between LIS journals in terms of keyword characteristics. To conduct this study, for the years from 2004 to 2016, the keywords of 6 international journals were downloaded from Scopus database (http://www.scopus.com), and the keywords of 4 Korean journals were downloaded from the RISS database (http://www.riss.co.kr). The characteristics of keywords were investigated by examining frequently used keywords and frequently used distinctive keywords pertaining to international and Korean journals. The distinctive keywords are referred to as the keywords that appear in one domain but not in another. The result of this study indicated the following: a) a frequency analysis of the keywords showed major research themes and unique traits concerning Korea. b) In general, the keywords used in Korean journals frequently reflected the library as a major subject area of research, while keywords used in international journals reflected bibliometrics and information retrieval as major subject areas of research. c) The overarching themes of each created dataset were clearly noticeable in frequently used distinctive keywords. d) Some keywords were bound by a nation or by a region due to their scope of usage. The important implication of this study is that both most frequently used keywords and most frequently used distinctive keywords seemed to adequately represent the LIS subject areas.

본 연구의 목적은 키워드 특징 면에서 문헌정보 저널에서 나타나는 유사점과 차이점을 조사하여 다양한 문헌 정보학 연구 영역을 발견하는 데 있다. 이 연구를 수행하기 위해 2004 년부터 2016 년까지 네 개의 한국 저널의 키워드가 RISS 데이타베이스에서 수집 되었고(http://www.riss.co.kr) 그리고 여섯 개의 국제저널의 키워드가 SCOPUS 데이타베이스에서 수집 되었다(http://www.scopus.com). 키워드의 특징은 한국 및 국제저널에 관하여서 자주 사용 되었던 키워드와 자주 사용되었던 독특한 키워드를 검증하는 연구이었다. 독특한 키워드란 한 분야에서는 나타나지만 다른 분야에서는 나타나지 않는 키워드를 말한다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 가) 키워드 빈도 분석 결과는 한국의 문헌정보 학의 연구주제와 연구특색을 보여 주는 것으로 나타났다. 나) 일반적으로 한국 저널에서 사용 된 키워드는 도서관과 관련된 주제의 영역을 나타냈고, 국제 저널에 사용되는 키워드는 서지 측정법과 관련된 주제 영역을 나타냈다. 다) 빈번히 사용되었던 독특한 키워드에서도 이러한 전반적인 연구 테마를 명백히 나타냈다. 라) 어떤 키워드는 쓰이는 범위가 한 국가나 지역으로 한정되어 있는 것으로 나타냈다. 이 연구의 중요한 시사점은 가장 자주 사용되는 키워드와 가장 자주 사용되는 독특한 키워드는 둘 다 문헌정보 학의 주제 영역을 적절하게 반영하고 있는 것으로 보인다는 것이다.
