Abstract

This study aims to review the possibility of OA to international journal articles cited by researchers of the library and information science field in Korea. For this, the international journal articless cited to the articles (1,543) of the Korean Society for Information Management were collected, and the investigation was carried out regarding the OA policy of the international journals and the status of journals that can be open to the public through the OA according to the OA policy. In addition, this study analyzed the actual accessibility by utilizing the OA finders (Google Scholar, Unpaywall, OA Button). The analysis result indicated that the majority of the international journals were using the green OA policy. Also, 1,476 journal articles which is 95.4% of the total international journal articles were allowed to be accessed officially with the OA. The results of reviewing the actual accessibility rate of the journal articles open to the public through the use of the OA finders indicated that accessibility was up to 68% when using Google Scholar, and the maximum accessibility rate was 72% when mixing the OA finders. Among the OA finders, Google Scholar had the greatest OA accessibility rate, but it was desirable to mix the OA finders in order to expand the OA accessibility rate to the maximum level.

본 연구는 국내 문헌정보학 분야 연구자가 인용한 해외 학술지 논문의 OA 접근가능성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 정보관리학회지에 인용된 해외 학술지 논문 1,543편을 수집하였고 해외 학술지의 OA 정책과 OA 정책상 OA로 공개가 가능한 논문 현황을 조사하였다. 그리고 OA finder(Google Scholar, Unpaywall, OA Button)들을 활용하여 실제로 온라인에서 어느 정도까지 접근이 가능한지를 조사하였다. 조사결과, 해외 학술지들은 대부분 그린 OA 정책을 채택하고 있었다. 그리고 해외 학술지 논문의 95.4%에 해당하는 1,476편의 논문이 정책상 OA로 공개가 가능하였다. 이에 OA로 공개가 가능한 논문들에 대해 OA finder들을 활용하여 접근가능여부를 파악한 결과, Google Scholar가 68%로 가장 높은 OA 접근성을 보였고 Unpaywall과 OA Button은 각각 39%와 36%의 비슷한 OA 접근성을 보였다. 그리고 이들 OA finder들을 조합할 경우 최대 72%까지 OA 접근성이 상승하는 것을 확인하였다.
