Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure the extent of collaboration by comparing team size patterns of Korean LIS journals with international LIS journals. For the sample dataset, the top 30 ranked international journals in the field of LIS were selected using the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), and 4 Korean LIS journals were selected for the years between 2010-2016. The size of the team who authored Korean journal articles were collected from the RISS database, while the size of team who authored international journal articles from the top LIS journals were collected using the Scopus database. The result of this study shows that the most common team size ranged from one member team to three member teams. Overall, the collaborative team size in international journals was higher than Korean journals. In particular, one member team was the most common team size in Korean journals, whereas two members team was most common in the international journals. At the subject level, the most common team size was one team member in the subject area of Library Related, while the most common team size was three team members in the subject area of Science/Engineering. The result of this study suggests that within LIS, the size of teams may vary considerably due to differences in subject areas.

본 연구의 목적은 국내외 문헌정보학 학술지들에서 나타나는 협업 범위를 저자수를 이용하여 측정하고 비교하는데 있다. 연구에 필요한 데이터세트를 위해, 2010-2016년도에 발간된 논문으로서 문헌정보분야와 관련된 국외학술지중 Scimago Journal Rank (SJR)에 기재된 최상위권 30개와 4개의 국내 문헌정보분야와 관련된 학술지를 선택하였다. 국내 학술지 저자 정보들은 RISS 데이터베이스에서 수집하였고 국외학술지 저자 정보들은 Scopus 데이터베이스를 사용하여 수집하였다. 연구결과 학술지의 경우 문헌정보 학술지에서는 단독저자부터 3인 공저자 까지가 가장 흔한 저자협업 정보임을 보여주었다. 국외 학술지는 저자협업이 국내학술지보다 더 다수의 경우가 많았다. 특별히, 국내의 경우 단독저자가 가장 흔했는데 국외 학술지에서는 2인 공저가 가장 흔했다. 연구분야를 살펴보면 도서관 관련 분야에서는 단독저자가 가장 흔하였고 과학/기술 분야는 3인 공저가 가장 흔하였다. 결론적으로 문헌정보학 분야에서는 연구분야의 다양성으로 인해 저자수도 상당히 다양해 질 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.
