The Citedness of a Scientific Paper Written/Published in a Scientifically Peripheral Country by Worldwide Science Literature: The Case of Korea

  • Published : 1993.12.01

Abstract

Thls study attempts to determ~ne the c~tedness of a scient~fic research paper wr~tten/published In Korea, one of the scient~fically per~phrral countries and the citednes ot a Korean sc~entist In mathematlc and chemistry. It was found that there is a neglig~ble proportion of c~tatlons In papers by fore~gn scientists to scient~fic l~terature from Korean and Korean sc~ent~sts. Thus, it can be true that Korean sclence or sc~ent~sts make a relatively small contr~but~on to world science: however it 1s also true that the per~pehral journal has ~ t s own scientif~c value follocal area.

본 연구는 학문적으로 주변 국가인 한국에서 출판된 과학 학술잡지 또는 한국 과학자의 인용성에 대해 조사하였다. 실험결과, 한국에서 출판된 과학 학술잡지 또는 과학자에 대한 외국학자들의 인용빈도는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국의 과학 또는 한국 과학자의 세계적 학문에 대한 공헌도는 매우 낮은 것으로 결론 내릴 수 있으나, 학문적 주변국가의 과학자 또는 그곳에서 출판된 잡지는 그 나름대로의 가치를 지녔음을 인정하여야 할 것이다.
