Abstract

Since the 1990s, informetrics has grown in popularity among information scientists. Today it is a general discipline that comprises all kinds of metrics, including bibliometrics and scientometrics. To illustrate the dynamic progress of this field, this study aims to identify the structure and infrastructure of the informetrics literature using statistical and profiling methods. Informetrics literature was obtained from the Web of Knowledge for the years 2001-2010. The selected articles contain least one of these keywords: informetrics', bibliometrics', scientometrics', webometrics', and citation analysis.' Noteworthy publication patterns of major countries were identified by a statistical method. Intellectual structure analysis shows major research areas, authors, and journals.

1990년대부터 계량정보학은 정보학자들 사이에서 주목을 받는 분야로 발전해오면서 현재 계량서지학, 사이언토메트릭스 등 모든 계량학을 포괄하는 개념으로 인식되고 있다. 계량정보학의 역동적인 발전을 조명하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 계량정보학 연구출판물을 기반으로 하여 이 분야의 지적구조를 분석하고자 하였다. 적용된 기법은 통계적 기법과 프로파일링 기법이다. 데이터 수집을 위해서는 SCI 데이터베이스를 이용하였으며 2001년부터 2011년까지의 Web of Knoewledge 데이터베이스에서 다음과 같은 5개의 질의를 가지고 데이터를 수집하였다: informetrics', bibliometrics', scientometrics', webometrics', citation analysis.' 프로파일링 기법으로 주요 주제, 저자, 저널별로 지적구조도를 제시하였으며 계량정보학 연구를 수행한 주요 국가, 기관, 저자도 분석되었는데 미국과 영국이 이 분야 연구를 주도하고 있으며 M. Thelwall이 10년동안 생산성이 가장 높은 저자인 것으로 나타났다.
