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.

이 연구에서는 학술지 사이에 저자 집단의 중복 정도를 측정하는 저널 결합 분석을 통해 한국 문헌정보학 학술지의 두 가지 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 통해 최근 10년 동안 국내 문헌정보학 연구의 경향을 설명했다. 가장 두드러진 추세는 기록관리학 분야가 주요 연구 분야로서 문헌정보학 영역에 정착했다는 점이다. 학술지 간의 저자 결합정도를 이용해서 투고 선호 지수 PPI (Publishing Preference Index)와 연구자 유인 지수 RAI (Researcher Attraction Index)의 두 가지 지표를 제안하였다. 분석 기간 동안 두 지수 모두 상당한 변화가 있었는데 특히 PPI 순위의 역전은 학술지 투고 저자 집단이 변화했다는 증거로 해석될 수 있다. RAI 지수 분석은 한국 문헌정보학 연구자들의 투고를 유인하는 각 학술지의 매력도를 측정하고 두 학술지 사이의 저자 공유 수준을 측정함으로써 학문분야 내에서 특정 학술지의 입지를 보여주었다. 이를 통해 학문분야 내에서 비교적 독립적인 학술지를 찾거나, 강력하게 서로 결합한 학술지를 찾을 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 제시한 저널 결합 분석은 특정 분야나 학제적인 분야 학술지의 특성을 보여주는 효과적인 분석 방법이라고 판단된다.
