Abstract

With reference management tool based on web, we could understand not only impact about non-author, such as hand-on worker, educator, who are out of academia, but also trace the subject fields of readers and their status. This study by analyzing mendeley, understand what kinds of subject fields and status of readers read library and information science field articles. As a result of analyzing the status and the major of the reader, readers were distributed in the fields of business administration, education and so on, and according to the reader's major, there was a significant difference (p = .000) between the subject area of relatively read a lot. By the way, as the result of relational analysis between citation rate and numbers of mendeley readership about medeley saved articles, correlation coefficient shows 0.585, however as the result of relational analysis limiting the groups, in case of author group who tends to read the articles for citing, correlation coefficient shows 0.619. On the other hand, non-author group shows 0.384.

웹 기반의 참고문헌관리도구를 통해서는 실무자, 교육자, 학생 등과 같이 학계 밖의 독자들에 대한 영향력을 추정할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 어떠한 신분과 전공 분야의 독자들이 논문을 읽고 있는지 추적할 수 있다. 본 연구는 참고문헌관리도구인 Mendeley의 독자 분석을 통하여, 문헌정보학 연구 논문이 어떠한 신분과 전공의 독자들에게 읽히고 있는지 분석했으며, Mendeley 독자수와 피인용도간에는 어떠한 상관성이 있는지 조사하였다. 독자의 신분과 전공을 분석한 결과, 문헌정보학/정보학 전공자이외에도, 경영학, 의학, 교육학 분야 등에 독자들이 분포되어 있었으며, 독자들의 학술적 신분과 전공에 따라 상대적으로 많이 읽고 있는 논문의 주제 영역에 유의미한 차이(p=.000)가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 Mendeley에 저장된 논문의 피인용도와 Mendeley 독자수간의 관계를 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson correlation coefficient) 산출을 통해 분석한 결과, r=0.585의 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 교수와 같이 주로 인용을 목적으로 논문을 읽는 저자 그룹으로 제한할 경우 r=0.619의 강한 상관성이, 사서와 같이 실무적 문제 해결과 학습을 위해 논문을 읽는 비저자 그룹으로 제한할 경우 r=0.384로 약한 상관성이 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다.
