Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine some aspects of international collaboration in the age of digital technologies. First, the paper describes the longitudinal structure of collaborative pattern among the 10 East-Asian countries based on their frequency of co-authoring SCI journal articles in the year 2001-2003. Second, a focus interview was made to explore the way in which new digital technologies such as the Internet have changed a research practice in the field of science, technology, and innovation. This research found that Japan and China are preferred as the number one collaborator by other Asian countries. Their share of international collaboration with other Asian countries has been increasing in three years. The results of indepth interview with a scholar suggest that digital network technologies have several advantages enabling individual and institutional actors to collaborate with each other effectively in terms of knowledge management as well as information exchange.

오늘날 과학기술 분야의 연구는 개별 학자, 그룹, 기업, 국가 등의 독자적인 역할보다 상호간 협동을 강력하게 요구하고 있다. 디지털 커뮤니케이션 테크놀로지의 확산과 함께 국경을 뛰어넘는 산업체, 대학교, 정부 기관, 연구소 간 협동 네트워크의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 한국, 중국, 일본의 경우에 전통적인 과학기술 선진국인 미국, 유럽뿐만 아니라 인근 지역에 위치한 아시아 국가들과의 상호 동반자적 연구협력을 추진하기 위해서 노력하고 있다. 본 논문은 그 중요성이 커지고 있는 동아시아 10개국을 대상으로 국제 협동연구의 추세를 검토한다. 분석자료는 2001년부터 2003년까지의 SCI 데이터를 이용하였다. 아울러, 과학기술 분야의 연구 국제화를 촉진하기 위해서 디지털 커뮤니케이션 매체를 어떻게 활용할 수 있는지 그 방향을 모색한다.
