국제적인 과학과 국지적인 연구 = 한국 물리학의 발전에 대한 경험적 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper argues that globalization of science can be put forward only through successful institutionalization of science at the national level and that the strengthened local research activities will contribute to a better integration into the global research community. In order to examine hypotheses derived from the theoretical arguments, this paper analyzes the development of physical science in Korea using mainly bibliometric method. The results show that the physical science in Korea has developed local characteristics represented by different research activities across sub-fields of physics. International research collaboration of the Korean physicists has not increased substantially during the time period studied, but an additional analysis indicates that the mode of international research collaboration may have been changed towards rather' symmetric' way, resulting in the strengthened networks of the Korean physicists with international research community.
