This proposed work aims to understand the Korean Academic Circle (KAC)'s research trend on the "One Belt One Road" (OBOR) by employing a quantitative analysis of the recent research articles published by the KAC. To do so, this proposed research has used the well-known network analysis software, Ucinet 6, by which the papers on related topics are collected and filtered from Korea Citation Index. To perform the analytical selection, the proposed work has chosen 'keywords' as the core research object and performed analysis from transverse to longitudinal aspects, and from holistic to individual aspects, respectively; and from this, the KAC's research trend on OBOR is derived. The present work has established that the KAC's attention is continuously increasing on OBOR and has sustainability. Centered on the OBOR, Korean researchers have spread their studies in various dimensions ranging from the issues like China's political economy to Sino-Korea economic and trade exchanges, and so on. The KAC has even combined OBOR with Korea's international development initiatives, which can help Korea benefit from active and sustainable cooperation with China. Moreover, the proposed work has found that Korean researchers have also actively expressed their growing attention, highlighted Korea's interest, and showed concern about China hegemony and Sinocentrism in their recent documented research works.

The academic field of social science in South Korea has formed societies around research fields or topics since the 1980s, publishing journals to present their research findings. Of them, the Korea Research Foundation started the "project of supporting journal publication" in 1991 and the "registration system for journals" in 1998, leading the changes and growth of academic ecosystem. In 2014, the National Research Foundation of Korea announced a "plan for the improved registration system for journals," which has been criticized for not reflecting the reality of academic ecosystem even though it is expected to have huge influences on the major academic ecosystems of South Korea including sociology. This study focused on the journals and main authors whose importance had been rising in recent years among the diversified agents of academic ecosystem to examine the structures and characteristics of academic ecosystem. The study first established a "journal-researcher network" and analyzed it based on the "Korea Citation Index" by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The major findings were as follows: first, the sociological ecosystem of South Korea showed a power law distribution in which a small number of researchers conducted a large number of researches. Second, it consisted of the center, margin, and independent sector. Third, there were differences in academic expandability among the different disciplines within it. This result means that the academic ecosystem centered the researcher-journal network exists in unequal conditions. The study also identified the following potential problems with the application of "plan for the improved registration system for journals" by the National Research Foundation of Korea to the academic field of sociology in the nation: first, the academic classification of National Research Foundation of Korea did not reflect the actual sociological ecosystem; secondly, the improvement plan lacked in consideration for the differences in expandability among the different disciplines; and finally, the KCI was not a proper tool to assess journals. 1980년대 이후 한국 사회과학 학술계에서는 연구 분야나 연구 주제를 중심으로 학회를 구성하면서 이들의 연구 성과를 담아내기 위한 전문 학술지들이 발행되기 시작하였다. 이러한 가운데 1991년부터 시작된 한국학술진흥재단의 ‘학술지 발행지원사업’과, 1998년 ‘학술지 등재제도’는 학술 생태계의 변화와 성장을 이끌었다. 더욱이 2014년 한국연구재단에서 발표한 ‘학술지 등재제도 개선 방안’은 사회학을 포함한 한국의 주요 학문생태계에 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되는 정책이지만 학문생태계의 현실을 반영하고 있지 못한다는 점에서 비판 받고 있다. 본 연구는 다양화된 학술 생태계의 행위 주체들 중에서 최근 그 중요성이 커지고 있는 학술지와 주요 저자를 중심으로 학술 생태계의 구조와 특성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 먼저 한국연구재단의 ‘한국학술지인용색인’(KCI) 데이터를 바탕으로 ‘학술지-연구자 연결망’을 구성하고 이를 분석하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국 사회학 생태계는 소수의 연구자가 많은 연구를 수행하는 멱함수 분포를 보이고 있음이 확인되었다. 둘째, 한국의 사회학 생태계는 중심부와 주변부, 그리고 독립적 영역으로 구분되었다. 셋째, 각 연구 영역에 따라 학문적 확장성에 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 연구자-학술지 연결망을 중심으로 한 학술생태계가 불평등한 상태로 존재하고 있음을 의미한다. 한편 본 연구에서는 한국연구재단의 ‘학술지 등재제도 개선 방안’을 한국 사회학계에 적용함에 있어 다음과 같은 문제점들이 발생할 수 있다는 점을 밝히고 있다. 첫째, 한국 연구재단의 학문 분류가 실제 사회학 생태계를 반영하지 못한다는 점이다. 둘째, 연구 분야에 따른 확장성의 차이에도 불구하고 학술지 등재제도 개선방안은 이에 대한 고려가 부족하다는 점이다. 셋째 학술지 평가 도구로서 KCI 인용지수가 적절하지 않다는 점이다.

학술지, 연구방법, 인용 간의 관계 고찰 - 행정학 학술지(주제별)을 중심으로 -

이승철 한국자치행정학회 2016 한국자치행정학보 Vol.30 No.4

학술지, 인용, 연구방법론의 관계가 어떤 영향을 주고 있는지를 살펴보기 위하여 한국학술지인용색인(Korea Citation Index: KCI)에 등재된 논문 중 2001-2011년까지 행정학분야 학술지(학회지, 연구소 등)논문 중 피인용 횟수 1위부터 100위까지 100편의 논문이 등재된 학술지 10종의 학술지를 대상으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 학술지와 인용과의 관계에서는 학술지 등재연도의 경우 2002년 73편(73.0%), 2005년 16편(16.0%), 2006년 2편(2.0%), 2007년 5편(5.0%), 2016년 1편(1.0%) 순으로 나타나 전반적으로 등재지 년도가 오래된 학술지가 더 많은 인용빈도를 나타내고 있다. 연구자들은 학술지의 등재연도가 오래되고 전국적인 성격의 학술지 논문에 대하여 많은 인용을 하고 있다는 것으로 해석된다. 학술지와 연구방법론의 관계에서 등재지 연도를 기준으로 살펴본 결과 (2002) 4개 학술지 양적연구의 비중은 평균 80.0%였으며, (2003) 1개 학술지 33.3%, (2005)는 2개 학술지 평균 33.3%, (2006)은 1개 학술지 100.0%, (2007) 1개 학술지 80%, (2016) 1개학술지 100.0%로 나타났다. 2002년, 2005년을 제외한 년도는 단일 학술지로서 양적연구의 경향성을 정확히 파악할 수는 없지만 2002년 학술지의 경우 전체 100편 중 73편(73.0%)을 점유하고 있음을 고려한다면 등재연도가 오래된 학술지일수록 상대적으로 질적연구보다 양적연구를 선호하고 있다. 둘째, 연구방법과 인용의 관계에서 피인용 누적횟수 총계에서는 질적:양적 (34.0 : 66.0), 논문 수는 질적:양적 (33.0 : 67.0) 결과로 나타났다. 즉 연구자들은 논문인용에서 연구방법은 전반적으로 질적연구보다 양적연구를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구자에 있어서는 중복연구자 19명 중 양적연구만을 사용한 연구자는 11명(1,540회: 평균 140회), 질적연구만 사용한 연구자는 4명(497회: 평균 124회), 질적·양적 복합연구 연구자는 4명(890회: 평균 222회)으로 연구방법론에서는 양적연구 논문에 대한 인용이 질적연구와 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 행정학 학술지(주제별) 논문분석 결과 학술지, 연구방법, 인용 간의 관계를 정리하면 등재년도가 오래되고 영향력 있는 학술지 일수록 게재된 논문의 수가 많기 때문에 인용빈도는 높아지는 경향이 나타났으며, 연구방법과 인용과의 관계에서는 질적연구보다 양적연구가 인용빈도가 높게 나타났다. 연구자들은 학술지에 논문을 게재하기 위하여 질적연구보다 양적연구를 선호하게 되고 양적연구에 의해 게재된 논문은 다른 연구자들로 하여금 더 많이 인용하게 되어 인용빈도는 시간이 갈수록 누적되는 결과를 나타내고 있다. 이는 인용에 있어서 시간의 흐름에 따른 누적효과 혹은 마태효과가 일정부분 나타나는 것으로 해석된다. In order to examine the influence of the relationship between the journal, the citation, and the research methodology, the articles in the Korea Citation Index (KCI)We analyzed 10 journals with 100 papers from 1 to 100 in the papers. As a result of the analysis of the articles in the field of public administration, the relation between the journals, the research methods, and the citations were summarized. Quantitative research was more frequent than research. In other words, researchers prefer quantitative research rather than qualitative research to publish articles in academic journals, and citations published by quantitative research are cited more frequently by other researchers, indicating that the frequency of citations is increasing over time. This is interpreted as the cumulative effect or the mathematical effect of the passage of time in the citation. The significance of this study is that researchers in the field of public administration have better understanding of the relationship between academic journals, research methods, and citation, providing basic data on the process of submitting papers to achieve intellectual curiosity or individual needs. On the other hand, the results of this research have revealed the biases of academic research methods, and suggest that quantitative research and qualitative research or integrated research methods are necessary for the balanced development of science.

임재현,김병근 국제물리치료연구학회 2023 Journal of International Academy of Physical Ther Vol.14 No.1

Background: Korea citation index (KCI) enhances the quality of journals by securing a management system for domestic journals and strengthening the international competitiveness of excellent domestic journals. Errors in studies, papers, and investigations of statistical methods have been reported worldwide in the medical field. However, there is a lack of studies on statistical methods and error investigations in physical therapy journals in Korea. Objectives: To investigated the frequency of statistical methods and research errors in physical therapy journal articles evaluated by KCI. Design: Review. Methods: Ten journals classified as physical therapy journals by December 2021, which are candidate journals or higher, were targeted. The study focused on original articles published from 2017 to 2021 and investigated the frequency of statistical methods used, sample size calculations, result tables, effect sizes, and confidence intervals. Results: Statistical methods used in physical therapy studies in Korean journals mainly employed group comparative analysis. However, in most cases, the basis for sampling, effect size, and confidence interval were not presented, even though most of the results tables were included. Conclusion: This study allowed us to examine the most frequently used statistical methods in Korean physical therapy studies and assess the reporting status of sample size calculations, result tables, effect sizes, and confidence intervals. Efforts are needed to publish high-quality papers to improve the quality of Korean physical therapy journals.

The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze the trends of career adaptability-related research conducted in Korea. For this purpose, 126 KCI articles related to career adaptability from January 2014 to December 2023 were selected. Research characteristics, research methods, research subjects, measurement tools and sub-factors, career adaptability- related variables, and thematic terms were analyzed. The major findings are as follows: First, since 2016, there has been a gradual increase in research related to career adaptability, which has been published in numerous academic journals related to social science, education, and youth. From 2018, research subjects that were concentrated on college students gradually expanded. In terms of research topics, most studies have focused on verifying the relationship between variables, including career adaptability. Second, regarding the research methods used in published papers, the majority (90.48%) employed quantitative research. Savickas & Porfeli's (2012) CAAS was the most commonly used instrument to measure career adjustment variables in the study. Third, career adaptability was used as a criterion variable in 45 studies (60.81%), as a predictor variable in 8 studies (10.81%), and as a mediating variable in 21 studies (28.38%) in the selected studies. Finally, in the latest study (2021-2023), keywords such as grit, career readiness behaviors, and career barriers were the most frequent.

한국연구재단 우수등재학술지 내용분석 -사회과학분야를 중심으로-

이승철 ( Lee¸ Seung Chal ) 한국자치행정학회 2021 한국자치행정학보 Vol.35 No.1

This study analyzed the contents of 23 journals in the field of social sciences, focusing on the selection of excellent Articles Registered Journals to be implemented by the National Research Foundation of Korea since 2015. As a result, only 15 out of 23 social science theme fields(65.2%) were selected as excellent academic journals. The Characteristics of these excellent listed Journals are as follows: First, excellent listed Journals are selected mainly in the field of academics with long time and tradition in the field of social science. Second, in the effect of the excellent Articles Registered Journals, there were 10 academic journals that showed positive effects on both KCI(Korea Citation Index) IF (two years, excluding self-acceptance) and centrality index (3 years), and 9 academic journals that showed negative effects on both criteria. In addition, the average effect(KCI IF(2 years, self-acceptance exclusion) was improved, but the centrality index (3 years) was decreased in three journals, indicating that the effect of selecting excellent journals was insufficient. The implications of the selection of excellent academic journals are that the tendency of academic studies in modern times is different from the past. Many studies with diversity and convergent characteristics are emerging, and academic trends such as this will deepen in the future. Considering this phenomenon, It is necessary to select criteria to evaluate the specificity and diversity of academics.

키워드 네트워크 분석을 통한 국내외 통번역 연구동향 비교

유한내 한국통역번역학회 2020 통역과 번역 Vol.22 No.1

This study carries out a bibliometric analysis to uncover the gap between global and local research trends in translation and interpreting. The research analyzes papers on translation and interpreting published between 2015 and 2019 in the Web of Science (WoS) and Korea Citation Index (KCI). First, the paper identified publication activities, geographic distributions, and research areas in WoS and KCI. Second, the paper conducted keyword network analysis and visualization. The result shows that the number of links and total link strengths of KCI recorded only 1/10 and 1/8 of WoS, respectively, indicating weak linkage between keywords in KCI papers. In particular, comparison of top 20 keywords between WoS and KCI reveals that research themes in KCI are less diverse than those in WoS, mostly focusing on translation strategies. Unlike previous bibliometric research in Korean translation studies that analyzed only translation studies journals, this paper analyzed all journals indexed by WoS and KCI and employed keyword network analysis and visualization for more comprehensive and objective description of research trends in and outside of Korea.

KCI 등재지의 CCL 적용 현황 연구

정경희 한국비블리아학회 2023 한국비블리아학회지 Vol.34 No.2

This study aimed to understand the application and types of Creative Commons Licenses (CCL) in Korean journals and to increase understanding of the state of open access in South Korea. The study collected and analyzed CCL-related information from the websites of 2,097 KCI journals and compared the findings with DOAJ journals and previous research. The results of the study are summarized as follows. Firstly, 18% (377 journals) of the KCI journals adopted CCL, and among them, approximately 90% (337 journals) were in the field of STEM. There were few academic journals applying CCL in humanities and social sciences fields. Secondly, the types of CCL adopted by KCI journals were NC licenses (90%), with CC BY-NC (85%) being the most common. This is a significant difference from DOAJ journals, where 52% of academic journals applied CC BY or CC BY-SA. However, fewer journals applied licenses of the ND licenses than DOAJ journals and Spanish journals. Thirdly, 44% (167) of the 377 academic journals that applied CCL were simultaneously for free in public databases and sold for a fee in commercial databases. 33% (125) were publicly available for free in public databases, and 9% (33) were sold in commercial databases. 본 연구는 국내 학술지의 CCL 적용 여부와 그 유형을 파악하여 국내의 오픈액세스 현황에 대한 이해를 높이고자 하였다. 한국연구재단 등재지 2,097종의 홈페이지에 공개된 CCL 관련 정보를 수집하여 분석한 후 DOAJ 학술지 및 선행연구와 비교하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 등재지의 18%(377)가 CCL을 적용하고 있었고 이중 90%(337)는 STM 및 농수해양학 분야였으며 인문사회 분야에서 CCL을 적용한 학술지는 거의 없었다. 둘째, 등재지가 채택한 CCL 유형은 NC 계열이 90%, 특히 CC BY-NC가 85%로 가장 많았다. 해외의 DOAJ 학술지에서 CC BY 또는 CC BY-SA를 적용한 학술지가 52%인 것과 큰 차이가 있었다. 그러나 DOAJ 학술지와 스페인어 학술지에 비하면 ND 유형의 라이선스를 적용한 학술지는 더 적었다. 셋째, CCL을 적용한 학술지 377종의 44%(167)는 공공DB에서는 무료로 공개되는 동시에 상용DB에서는 유료로 판매되고 있었고, 33%(125)는 공공DB에서 무료로 공개되고 있었으며, 9%(33)는 상용DB에서 판매되고 있었다.
