Analysis on the Multi-technology Capabilities of Korea and Taiwan Using Patent Bibliometrics

( Jung Tae Hwang ),( Byung Keun Kim ) 기술경영경제학회 2006 Journal of Technology Innovation Vol.14 No.2

This paper explores multi-technology capabilities between Korea and Taiwan by analyzing the pattern of inventive activities concerning technology fusion by using patent bibliometrics. Although two countries exhibit a similar level of invention activities and high degree of specialization in emerging technologies measured by the number and technological fields of their US patents, innovation systems in two countries differ. MTCs (multi-technology corporations) are stronger in Korea national innovation system while small innovative firms play important roles in Taiwan national innovation system. Technology fusion has been an important source of technological innovation, and it suggests possible advantage for the Korean innovation system because it is a common belief that global size firms-most of them are multi-technology corporations-can perform better in multi-technology fusion and scientific research. The result of patent bibliometrics suggests rather complex answers to the belief. Even though Korea shows slight advantage, it may not be ascribed to the large MTCs.

The Impact of Name Ambiguity on Properties of Coauthorship Networks

Kim, Jinseok,Kim, Heejun,Diesner, Jana Korea Institute of Science and Technology Informat 2014 Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice Vol.2 No.2

Initial based disambiguation of author names is a common data pre-processing step in bibliometrics. It is widely accepted that this procedure can introduce errors into network data and any subsequent analytical results. What is not sufficiently understood is the precise impact of this step on the data and findings. We present an empirical answer to this question by comparing the impact of two commonly used initial based disambiguation methods against a reasonable proxy for ground truth data. We use DBLP, a database covering major journals and conferences in computer science and information science, as a source. We find that initial based disambiguation induces strong distortions in network metrics on the graph and node level: Authors become embedded in ties for which there is no empirical support, thus increasing their sphere of influence and diversity of involvement. Consequently, networks generated with initial-based disambiguation are more coherent and interconnected than the actual underlying networks, and individual authors appear to be more productive and more strongly embedded than they actually are.

Huh, Sun The Korean Gastric Cancer Association 2016 Journal of gastric cancer Vol.16 No.1

Purpose: The aim was to verify if changing the Journal of Gastric Cancer (JGC) to only English (starting in December 2010) was successful based on bibliometrics. Materials and Methods: The following indicators were retrieved or calculated from the journal homepage and the Web of Science Core Collection on January 30, 2016: the number of citable articles per year; the number of original articles funded; the national origins of the editorial board members and authors; the total citations; the impact factors; the national origins of authors citing the journal; the source titles of articles citing the journal; and the Hirsch index. Results: From 2011 to 2015, the number of citable articles per year was 40, 41, 39, 39, and 40. The proportion of original articles funded was 39 out of 113 articles (34.5%). The editorial board members were from seven countries. The authors were from 11 countries. The total citations increased from 1 in 2011 to 245 in 2015. From 2013 to 2015, the impact factors (without self-citations) were 1.42, 1.36, and 1.60. In 2014, the value 1.60 corresponded to the ranking of 157 out of 210 oncology journals (74.8%); It was cited from 46 countries. Top-ranking countries of citing authors were China (171), Korea (158), and Japan (75). The number of source titles citing the journal was more than 100. The Hirsch index was 12. Conclusions: The English-only language policy, which started in December 2010, was successful in promoting the JGC to international levels from the perspective of bibliometric analysis.

Chaoqun Li,Zhigang Chen,Tongrui Yu,Xinxia Song 한국정보처리학회 2022 Journal of information processing systems Vol.18 No.3

The new crown pneumonia (COVID-19) has become a global epidemic. The disease has spread to mostcountries and poses a challenge to the healthcare system. Contact tracing technology is an effective way forpublic health to deal with diseases. Many experts have studied traditional contact tracing and developed digitalcontact tracking. In order to better understand the field of contact tracking, it is necessary to analyze thedevelopment of contact tracking in the field of computer science by bibliometrics. The purpose of this researchis to use literature statistics and topic analysis to characterize the research literature of contact tracking in thefield of computer science, to gain an in-depth understanding of the literature development status of contacttracking and the trend of hot topics over the past decade. In order to achieve the aforementioned goals, weconducted a bibliometric study in this paper. The study uses data collected from the Scopus database. Whichcontains more than 10,000 articles, including more than 2,000 in the field of computer science. For populartrends, we use VOSviewer for visual analysis. The number of contact tracking documents published annuallyin the computer field is increasing. At present, there are 200 to 300 papers published in the field of computerscience each year, and the number of uncited papers is relatively small. Through the visual analysis of the paper,we found that the hot topic of contact tracking has changed from the past “mathematical model,” “biologicalmodel,” and “algorithm” to the current “digital contact tracking,” “privacy,” and “mobile application” and othertopics. Contact tracking is currently a hot research topic. By selecting the most cited papers, we can displayhigh-quality literature in contact tracking and characterize the development trend of the entire field throughtopic analysis. This is useful for students and researchers new to field of contact tracking ai well as forpresenting our results to other subjects. Especially when comprehensive research cannot be conducted due totime constraints or lack of precise research questions, our research analysis can provide value for it.

Increased number of papers co-authored by professor and his students in humanities and social sciences journals published in Korea

Rae Seong Hong,Eun Seong Hwang 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2017 Science Editing Vol.4 No.1

Humanities and social sciences studies in Korea have remarkably low rates of co-authorship between professors and students. We chose a bibliometrics-based approach to characterize changes in the ratio of joint authorship between professors and students. Articles classified in the humanities and social sciences sectors that were published in journals registered in the Korean Citation Index during 2 phases over a 10-year period—2004 to 2006 (phase 1) and 2011 to 2013 (phase 2)—were used as the main source for the analysis. The study results can be summarized as follows: first, the overall number of co-authored articles drastically increased from phase 1 to phase 2; the percentage of co-authorship articles increased from 34.8% to 47.7%, and the percentage of co-authorship between students and professors rose from 9.9% to 20.7%. This trend was particularly noticeable in the social sciences, such as accounting, social welfare, and economics/business administration. Second, papers written by scholars from Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University were often published in high-impact factor journals. Among those articles, the rate of professor-student co-authorship increased by 21.6% for 7 years. Third, the increase in professor-student co-authored articles published in high- impact factor journals was even sharper. These findings indicate that perceptions of professor-student co-authorship have changed in the humanities and social sciences. In the near future, positive perceptions toward joint research and joint authorship between professors and students are expected to become more widespread.

This study aimed to propose a tool for measuring the research performance of researchers, institutions, and journals in Indonesia based on bibliometrics. Specifically, the output of this measurement tool, referred to as the S-score, is described, as well as its implementation on the main database portal in Indonesia. The S-score was developed by a focus group discussion. The following 8 evaluation items for journal accreditation were analyzed in the development process: journal title, aims and scope; publisher; editorial and journal management; quality of articles; writing style; format of PDF and e-journal; regularity; and dissemination. The elements of the S-score are as follows: number of journal article documents in Scopus, number of non-journal-article in Scopus, number of citations in Scopus, number of citations in Google Scholar, the h-index in Scopus, and the h-index in Google Scholar. The S-score yields results ranging from S1 to S6. The above metrics were implemented on the Science and Technology Index, a database portal in Indonesia. The measurement tool developed through the focus group discussion was successfully implemented on the database portal. Its validity and reliability should be monitored consistently through regular assessments of S-scores. The S-score may be a good example of a metric for measuring the performance of researchers, institutions, and journals in countries where most journals are not indexed by Scopus.
