한국 출판편집자들의 사회적 지위에 대한 탐색적 연구

한주리(Han, Ju-Lie) 한국출판학회 2009 한국출판학연구 Vol.35 No.1

Publishing firms in recent years have changed tremendously in terms of new institutional practices that include new types of employment, use of ICTs and spatial changes relocation of work places, foreign investment, and so on. Trend of publishing industries worldwide is centralized by several huge conglomerates or multinational corporations. Imprint is publishing house within a publishing house. The chief-editor in imprint who was appointed by publishers directly manages to get profit, set book planning, and be in charge of marketing, promoting, and personnel management (Greco, 2005). Then editor-in-chief takes the responsibility on management. Digitalization made the printing process easier than before. These days, contents are one of the most important factors in publishing process because it affects the quality of book and editors are required to be proficient in planning the competitive books. In Korea, editors can be divided into ‘publisher-editor’ and ‘editor’. Publisher-editor is a president or CEO and editor is an employee who works on editing process but he/she cannot have the right to decide. It means that publishers in Korea usually plan, think, and determine whether which book will be published or not. On the average Korean editor's social and economical status is lower than Chinese or Japanese editor's status. According to the Han's study (2006), editors have to be skilled specialists or experienced workers to manage whole process as a coordinator. Their works are very stressful but their labor conditions are not that good enough. In comparison, Chinese publishing is operated by the government or local administrations so that publishing companies are sort of public institutions. Therefore, editors, as public servants, are elevated to a status they share with several pubic officials. In Japan, editors are recognized as elite group and get high payments even though publishing companies are in bad conditions. Hence, the current study result showed that need for enhancing the editor's social status in Korea. Limitations and suggestions for future study were discussed thereafter. 디지털 정보기술의 급속한 발전은 출판환경의 구조적 변화와 개인 및 조직의 변화를 초래했다. 편집기획자를 중심으로 하는 임프린트 출판형태가 나타났고, 제작환경의 디지털화로 인해 도서제작작업이 간편화되었으며 제작비 절감 및 인터넷 서점의 등장, 마케팅시스템의 도입과 기획사 및 에이전시 등 외부시스템이 발달하게 되었다. 2000년대 이후 출판 제작환경의 변화로 인해, 콘텐츠가 더욱 중요하게 여겨지는 요즘 출판산업에서 기획자로서의 편집자의 역할 및 능력은 중요한 변수로 떠오른다. 한국에서의 ‘편집자’는 출판 인-편집자(publisher-editor)와 편집자(editor)의 두 부류로 크게 분류된다. 한국출판산업에 있어 전자는 출판사의 경영자이고 후자는 직원이라고 볼 수 있다. 편집자로 활동하다가 전직하거나 은퇴하는 경우도 있지만 편집자가 출판인-편집자로 되는 경우도 많으며, 앞서 언급한 1인 출판을 하게 되는 경우도 있다. 한국 출판계에서 직원으로서의 편집자의 사회적, 경제적 지위는 상대적으로 일본 및 중국의 출판계에 비해 열악하다고 할 수 있다. 한주리(2006)의 연구에 따르면, 유연전문화 과정의 도입으로 출판계에서 개별 편집자에게 갖추도록 요청되는 능력이나 기술은 점차 많아지는데 비해 그에 따른 처우는 좋지 않음을 알 수 있다. 또한 한국의 출판산업에 대한 일반인들의 인식 또한 여타 문화산업 분야에 비해 낮아서 출판계로 진출하려는 인력이 많지 않은 면도 있다. 또한 신문기자나 대학교수와 비교해서 훨씬 열악한 처지에 있는 한국의 편집자들이 책을 잘 만들 수 있기를 기대하는 것은 무리가 있다. 중국의 경우는 출판이라는 영역을 신문, 방송과 더불어 국가나 지방정부에서 운영하고 있으므로 출판사는 사기업이 아니라 공공기관이고 편집자들도 일종의 문화적 공직자로서 상당한 사회적 지위를 누리고 있다고 볼 수 있었다. 일본의 경우는 이와나미 쇼뗑(岩波書店), 카게이 쇼보오(影書房) 등의 출판사에서 아무리 사정이 어려운 출판사라도 편집자에 대해서 높은 대우를 해주고 있었다. 본 연구결과 한국의 편집자의 사회적 지위가 보다 향상되어야 할 필요성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 논문의 제한점 및 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 하였다.

출판자본의 출간서적 결정과정에서 나타나는 담론실천에 대한 이해

김헌태 한국외국어대학교 국제커뮤니케이션연구소 2012 東西言路 Vol.31 No.-

본 연구는 출판사가 책을 출간하는 과정을 이해하고자 하는 시도로서, 출간결정에 영향을 주는 외부요인들은 어떤 것이 있고, 출판사 내부에서 는 누가 어떻게 출간에 관여하는지, 또 특정 저자나 저작이 어떤 경로나 방식을 통해 출판자본에 의해 선택되고, 또는 배제되는지를 비판적 관점 에서 접근하였다. 이를 위해 출판사 내부에서 문화매개자로서 출간결정에 관여하는 출판 에디터들을 대상으로 심층 면접을 실시하고 이들 출간결정 의 주체들의 담론실천 과정을 들여다보았다. 이 연구의 주된 이론적 배경 은 부르디외(P. Broudieu)의 4가지 자본 개념 및 프랑스 출판장에 대한 선 행연구, 아울러 특정한 지식이 더 우월한 가치를 가지도록 만드는 권력, 또는 권력이 지식을 어떻게 활용하여 권력을 유지하는지를 설명한 푸코 (M. Foucault)의 ‘권력/지식(Power/Knowledge)’ 개념 등이다. 연구결과로서 ‘아비투스(habitus)’ 등을 중심으로 설명한 부르디외의 출판장 연구결과를 국내 출판현실과 비교하였고, 기획출간, 추천출간, 투고출간 등 3가지의 주된 출간관행에 대한 설명하였으며, 아울러 출간결정 과정에 개입하고 영향을 미치는 권력과 지식의 결합양상 및 사례를 기술하였다. This Study is approachment to understand the process of book publishment by publishing houses in Korea. Specially this study, based on critical view, has interests in various environmental factors which could influence the publishing decision of publishing company and internally, subjects who involve the process of publishing decision, and also various standards or ways how certain author or work is selected or excluded by publishing editors. For the goal of this study, depth interviews were conducted with publishing editors as cultural intermediaries who can be owner or worker of the publishing company and their discourse practices in publish decision process were analyzed. Theoretical backgrounds of this study were study on the field of publishment in France by P. Broudieu, and his explnation on 4 types of capital, and Foucault’s concept of ‘Power/Knowledge’ which explains the relationships between power and knowledge in a specific society. As a result, this study present the situation of publishing process of Korea compared with that of France studied by Broudieu, and provide the explanation on major publishment practices including planning publishment, recommending publishment and self-submitting publishment. And lastly, institutions or systems which intervene the decision process of publishment were described on the basis of concept ‘Power/Knowledge’ by Foucault.

Opinions of Korean science editors on open access policies, editorial difficulties, and government’s support for publishing

Sun Huh,Hye-Min Cho,Hyungsun Kim 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2015 Science Editing Vol.2 No.2

The Korean government has supported scholarly scientific journal publishing since 1971 through the Korean Federation of Science and Technologies (hereafter the Federation). To ensure that this funding is used as efficiently as possible, the views of science editors should be considered. This study measured the opinions of Korean science editors on open access policies, difficulties during editing, and the government’s support for publishing. From November 28 to December 10 of 2013, web survey invitations were emailed to 368 journal editors listed by the Federation. The web survey tool Surveymonkey was used to create a questionnaire that consisted of ten items, including the research category for each journal. Out of the 368 editors, 82 responded to the survey (22.3%). Sixty-nine editors (84.1%) had already accepted the open access or free access policy. Of the 13 editors of journals without open/free access policies, seven hoped to adopt a policy within three years. The most difficult tasks in journal publishing were adding a journal to international databases, operating with an inadequate budget, and recruiting professional manuscript editors. Editors want the Federation to increase budgets to cover full-text extensible markup language production costs, to provide guidelines for adding journals to international databases, and to provide programs for training professional manuscript editors and a plagiarism detection system. Most science editors in Korea have already adopted an open/free access policy. Training professional manuscript editors, using plagiarism detection system, and producing full-text extensible markup language should be considered as important items for journal publishing support from the Federation.

Korean editors’ and researchers’ experiences with preprints and attitudes towards preprint policies

이현정,허선 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2021 Science Editing Vol.8 No.1

Purpose This study investigated editors’ and researcher’s experiences with preprints and their attitudes towards preprint policies in Korea. Methods From December 30, 2019 to January 10, 2020, a Google Forms survey was mailed to members of the Korean Council of Science Editors and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies. The 16 survey items included two demographic items, six items on experience with preprints, five 5-point Likert-scale items on attitudes towards preprints, and three items on advantages and disadvantages. Results Out of 365 respondents, 56 had deposited their manuscripts on preprint servers, while 49 stated that they allowed preprints in their journals. More than half of the respondents expressed favorable attitudes towards prioritizing preprint deposition, promotion of open access, rapid feedback on preprints, earlier citations, and evidence of research work. Responders in engineering had more experience with the concept of preprints, and were more likely to have heard about preprint servers and preprint deposition by other researchers, than those in medicine. Half of the editors disagreed with the need for preprints, for reasons including a lack of scientific integrity, stealing ideas/scooping data, priority issues regarding research ideas, and copyright problems. Conclusion The above results showed that preprints are still not actively used in Korea. Although experiences with preprints were not widespread, more than half of the respondents showed favorable attitudes towards preprints. More of a consensus should emerge for preprint policies to be accepted by editors in Korea.

프론트페이지 2003을 이용한 웹퍼블리싱에 관한 연구

우원택(Woo Won-Taek) 한국의사결정학회 2011 의사결정학연구 Vol.19 No.1

본 연구는 홈페이지 제작 소프트웨어 패키지 중에서 프론트페이지 2003을 시범도구로 선택하여 웹 페이지를 제작하고 이를 직접 웹 게시해 봄에 그 목적이 있다. 웹 사이트 제작과 게시는 생각보다 간단치 않은 작업으로 많은 준비 절차와 단계가 필요하다. 특히 방화벽이나, 오라클데이타베이스 서버, 아파치서버, IIS서버와 같은 소프트웨어가 동시에 설치된 PC에서는 더욱 그러하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 PC 수준에서 웹 사이트 생성과 퍼브리싱 절차를 소개함으로써 향후의 웹 페이지 개발과 배포를 보다 용이하게 하고자 한다. The Purpose of this study is to create a personal web site and to publish it on the web using FrontPage 2003-selected as an experimental tool among other various web editors. The process of creating a web site and publishing it may appear simple. but is not trivial Especially within a PC environment, simultaneously installed with software packages such as a firewall, Oracle database server, Apache server, IIS server etc., one is required to perform complex preparatory steps. Therefore, this study attempts to provide advance methods to overcome these challenging procedures for the purpose of making it easy for the future development and publication of a web site in a PC environment.

출판 번역의 교정 교열

이상원 한국통역번역학회 2007 통역과 번역 Vol.9 No.1

In translation for publishing translators' product have to go through revision process by editors or free-lance revisors. This study interviewed two free-lance revisors to grasp overall situation of revision in translation for publishing. Results are as follows: free-lance revisors get their revision work, based on work experiences in publishing companies in past; general revision guidelines are not established between revisors, translators and editors, which complicate their communication and cooperation; free-lance revisors are underpaid and underprivileged, which has become obstacle to guarantee reliable revision quality. This study can contribute to deepening the understanding of translation for publishing, finding out who are free-lance revisors and how they work.

Analysis of the results of the first implementation of the Korea Manuscript Editors Certification

Hyun Jung Yi,Jae Hwa Chang,Yoon Joo Seo 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2017 Science Editing Vol.4 No.1

In the field of international scholarly journal publishing, manuscript editing has been established as an essential component of the publication process. As the necessity of this process has increased, the Korean Council of Science Editors has consistently provided education for training professional manuscript editors, and has worked to implement a manuscript editor certification system. Starting in 2014, the Korean Council of Science Editors thoroughly conducted background research and advanced analysis in preparation for such a system. Subsequently, a committee of experts was formed to develop and simulate an examination for this certification. This process culminated in the first manuscript editor certification examination, which was held in November 2016 and resulted in 40 initial Korea Manuscript Editors Certification holders. Examinations for the Korea Manuscript Editors Certification are scheduled to be held annually. The establishment of this certification system will contribute to strengthening individual capacities and further developing science journal publication in Korea by expanding the field of manuscript editing. Ultimately, this system will contribute to the promotion of Korean scientific journals to the level of prominent international journals.

Peer review at the beginning of the 21st century

Irene Hames 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2014 Science Editing Vol.1 No.1

Vigorous debate currently surrounds peer review, and polarized views are often expressed. Despite criticisms about the process, studies have found that it is still valued by researchers, with rigorous peer review being rated by authors as the most important service they expect to receive when paying to have their papers published open access. The expectations of peer review and what it can achieve need, however, to be realistic. Peer review is also only as good and effective as the people managing the process, and the large variation in standards that exists is one of the reasons some of the research and related communities have become critical of and disillusioned with the traditional model of peer review. The role of the editor is critical. All editors must act as proper editors, not just moving manuscripts automatically through the various stages, but making critical judgements throughout the process to reach sound and unbiased editorial decisions. New models and innovations in peer review are appearing. Many issues, however, remain the same: rigorous procedures and high ethical standards should be in place, those responsible for making decisions and managing the process need to be trained to equip them for their roles and responsibilities, and systems need to be adapted to deal with new challenges such as the increasing amounts of data being generated and needing to be taken into account when assessing the validity and soundness of work and the conclusions being drawn.
