Abstract

This study investigates the various statistical data and measures of coauthorship network in the Korean LIS Research Community such as patterns of coauthorship, structural properties, types of cluster, centrality & impact analysis. This issues are mostly addressed through a Social Network Analysis of articles published from 2000 to 2009(10 years) in Korean Library & Information Science major four Journals. The coauthorship network was constructed and various measures of four centralities, PageRank, Effect size were calculated. The results show three implications. 1) There presents a phenomenon of Pareto's law in the articles publishing counts. 2) The top authors based on publishing counts prefer co-work publishing than solo-publishing. 3) The counts of article publishing are significantly correlated with five measures of network and not correlated with the case of power centrality.

본 연구는 협력 네트워크의 일종인 공저 네트워크의 형태와 저자들의 학술적 영향력을 설명하는 각종 분석지표들의 의미와 관계를 살펴보는 기초연구이다. 분석대상은 국내의 문헌정보학 분야 4개 학술지(한국문헌정보학회지, 한국도서관 정보학회지, 정보관리학회지, 한국비블리아학회지)에 지난 10년(2000년-2009년) 동안 투고된 논문들이다. 주요한 분석 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 논문 투고수에는 파레토 법칙 현상이 나타났다. 둘째, 투고수가 높은 저자들의 경우, 단독저작 논문 보다는 공동저작의 논문들이 조금 더 많이 생산되었다. 셋째, 투고논문수가 많은 저자들은 대부분의 학술적 영향력 지표와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
