Abstract

In various disciplines, researchers, not single researchers, tend to cooperate to study the same topic. There are many studies to analyze the collaborative form of various researchers through the social network analysis method, but there are few such studies in the computer field. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of network and various groups of researchers through the social network analysis technique of the co-authors of the Journal of Korea Institute of Information and Communication Engineering, and analyze the degree centrality, the between centrality and edge weight. As a result of the analysis, many groups were extracted from the co-author's network, but the top 20 groups accounted for more than 50% of the total, also, we could find a pair of researchers who do joint research with a very high frequency. These Co-author networks are expected to be the basis for in-depth research on the subject and direction of research through future researches.

다양한 학문 분야에서 연구자 단독이 아닌 여러 연구자가 협동하여 같은 주제를 연구하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 여러 연구자가 협동 하는 형태를 소셜 네트워크 분석 방법을 통해 분석하려는 연구는 여러 분야에서 이루어지고 있으나 컴퓨터 분야에서 이러한 연구는 거의 없었다. 본 논문에서는 한국정보통신학회 논문지의 공저자의 네트워크를 소셜 네트워크 분석기법을 통해 네트워크의 특성과 다양한 연구자 그룹을 분석하며 연결 중심성, 사이 중심성, 에지 강도 등을 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과 공저자 네트워크 내 많은 그룹이 추출되었지만 상위 20개 그룹이 전체의 50% 이상을 차지하였고, 연결 중심성과 사이 중심성 모두 가장 높은 값을 가지는 연구자를 찾을 수 있었다. 또한, 매우 높은 빈도로 공동연구를 하는 연구자 쌍도 찾을 수 있었다. 이러한 공저자 네트워크는 향후연구를 통해 연구주제와 방향성에 대한 심층적인 연구의 토대가 될 것으로 기대된다.
