Abstract

Due to the development of science and technology, the convergence of various disciplines has been fostered. Accordingly, interdisciplinary studies have increasingly been expanded by integrating knowledge and methodology from different disciplines. The primary focus of biblimetric methods is on investigating the intellectual structure a field, and analysis of the characterization of interdisciplinary studies is overlooked. In this study, we aim to identify the intellectual structure of the field of medical informatics through author co-citation analysis and co-word analysis by the representative journal "IEEE ENG MED BIOL." In addition, we examine authors and MeSH Terms of top three representative journals for further analysis of the field. We examine the intellectual structure of the medical informatics field by author and word clusters to identify the network structure of medical informatics disciplines.

학문과 기술의 발달이 전개되면서 학문 간의 융합이 이루어지고 학제적 성향을 띠는 학문이 더욱 등장하게 되었다. 현재까지 계량정보학적 방법으로 학문 분야의 지적구조를 파악한 연구는 있었지만 학제적인 학문의 특성을 규명하여 지적구조를 분석한 시도는 적었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 학제성을 띠는 의료정보학(Medical Informatics) 분야의 저널 중 IEEE ENG MED BIOL 저널을 선정하여 저자동시인용 분석과 동시출현단어 분석을 통해 본 저널의 지적구조를 파악하였다. 또한 상위 3개 대표 저널의 저자 및 MeSH Term을 추출하여 종합적으로 비교분석하였다. 이를 통해 의료정보학 분야의 융합된 학문들의 관계를 구조적으로 파악하고 의료정보학의 학문적 성향을 분석했다.
