Abstract

Since information scientists have begun trying to quantify significant research trends in scientific publications, '-metrics' research such as 'bibliometrics', 'scientometrics', 'informetrics', 'webometrics', and 'citation analysis' have been identified as crucial areas of information science. To illustrate the dynamic research activities in these areas, this study investigated the major contributors of '-metrics' research for the last decade at three levels: nations, institutions, and documents. '-metrics' literature of this study was obtained from the Science Citation Index for the years 2001-2011. In this analysis, we used Pathfinder network, PNNC algorithm, PageRank and several indicators based on h-index. In terms of international collaborations, USA and England were identified as major countries. At the institutional level, Katholieke University, Leuven and the University of Amsterdam in Europe and Indiana University and the Office of Naval Research in the USA have led co-research projects in informetrics areas. At the document level, Hirsch's h-index paper and Ingwersen's web impact factor paper were identified as the most influential work by two methods: PageRank and single paper h-index.

계량정보학자들이 학술논문을 통해 과학 연구 동향을 분석하기 시작한 이후 계량서지학, 과학계량학, 계량정보학, 웹계량학, 인용분석 등은 정보학의 주요 분야로 성장하였다. 계량정보학의 최근 동향을 분석하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 계량정보학 연구출판물을 기반으로 하여 이 분야 연구 발전에 기여한 국가, 기관, 논문을 파악하고자 네트워크 분석을 수행하였다. 데이터 수집을 위해서는 SCI 데이터베이스를 이용하였으며 2001년부터 2011년까지 출판된 논문을 대상으로 하였다. 분석기법으로 Pathfinder 네트워크 분석과 PNNC기법을 사용하고, 협력관계와 연구영향도를 측정하기 위한 지표로 PageRank와 h-index 기반의 지표들을 사용하였다. 협력연구네트워크에서 주요한 역할을 하는 국가는 미국과 영국인 것으로 조사되었으며 기관으로는 유럽의 암스테르담 대학과 루벤 카톨릭대학 그리고 미국의 인디아나 대학과 해군연구개발국이 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 개인 논문 수준에서는 PageRank와 single paper h-index 척도로 분석한 결과 Hirsch의 h-index 논문과 Ingwersen의 웹 영향력 지수 논문이 가장 영향력 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
