학술지 영향력 측정을 위한 h-지수의 응용에 관한 연구 = A Study on Journal Impact Measurement with Hirsch-type Indices

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The journal impact factor(JIF) of the Thomson Reuters(ISI) has been widely used to assess the impact of journal as well as its quality. However, the JIF contains its critical limitation, in which it does not measure the impact of journal but the average impact of articles in journal. Besides significant number of problems of the JIF has been noticed. Furthermore, given the limited coverage of domestic citation index database in comparison to those of international citation index, it is necessary to apply a more appropriate index with a high level of discriminating power. This study, therefore, aims to introduce some practical methods to measure the impact of domestic journals by using the Hirsch-type indices. As the Hirsch-type indices has been often used for overcoming the limitations of the JIF in worldwide, we hope that our research outcome offers an effective alternative to gauge the impact of journals more accurately. Consequently, using the variations of the h-index(hs-index, fs-index) or the sum of issue level(issue based h-index, issue based f-index), we argue that it would improve the discrimination capacity of the Hirsch-type indices significantly and that we can measure the impact of domestic journals more clearly.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

최근까지 학술지의 영향력을 측정하기 위하여 Thomson Reuters(ISI)의 영향력지수(JIF: Journal Impact Factor)가 널리 사용되어왔다. 그러나, 이러한 JIF는 학술지 단위가 아니라 수록 논문의 평균 영향력을 측정하는 지표라는 근본적인 한계를 가지고 있으며, 이외에도 다양한 측면에서 많은 문제점들이 지적되었다. 특히 국내 인용색인은 국제적인 인용색인 데이터베이스에 비해서 인용 데이터의 규모가 상당히 제한적이므로, 이를 고려하여 국내 학술지 인용 환경에 적합한 지수의 적용이 필요하다. 따라서 이 연구는 최근 급속히 확산되고 있는 Hirsch 유형 지수(h-type indices)를 적용하여 국내 학술지의 영향력을 보다 더 상세하게 측정할 수 있는 실제적인 방안을 모색하였다. 결과적으로, h-지수의 변형지수(hs-지수, fs-지수)를 사용하거나 호 단위 합산(호 기반 h-지수, 호 기반 f-지수) 방법을 통하여, 기존 Hirsch 유형 지수들의 변별력을 향상시킬 수 있음은 물론 국내 학술지의 영향력을 더욱 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
