Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify bibliographic characteristics of the top level articles among KCI indexed academic articles. Unlike the existing analysis on citation and most-cited articles, this study analyzed their bibliographic characteristics. The 3,453 articles were collected from 17 social science fields in KCI. The characteristics of authors, institutions, publications, journals, and citations were analyzed. According to the result of the analysis, there was a difference in the ratio of single authors to co-authors and in the number of co-authors. The authors were mostly single authors or two co-authors. In general, the percentage of authors of one article was high. Second, the types of institutions were mostly universities, and there were differences in the number of institutions with authors in each field. And the frequency of the authors' affiliation appeared uneven. There were a number of excellent research institutes and authors depending on the field. Third, the average of years to take to become the top articles for publication was 11 years in 2018. Fourth, most of the published journals were KCI registered journals, and the influence of the journals was not a factor. Fifth, there were differences in the number of cited counts between fields. This study is meaningful to grasp the influencing factors on the bibliographic characteristics of the most-cited articles for the social science field.

이 연구는 KCI 색인 학술논문들을 대상으로 피인용 최상위 수준의 논문들을 추출하여, 그들의 서지적 특성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 피인용이나 상위 논문들에 대한 기존의 분석과 달리 논문들의 서지적 요소를 중심으로 그것의 특성을 분석하였다. KCI에서 수집한 사회과학의 17개 분야 3,453편의 논문을 대상으로 하였고, 분석을 위한 서지적 요소는 저자, 소속기관, 발행년, 학술지, 피인용수이다. 분석결과로 나타나는 주요한 서지적 특성은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 단독저자와 공동저자의 비율, 공동저자의 수에서 차이가 났다. 저자들은 주로 단독저자 또는 2인 공동저자였다. 대체로 1건의 논문 저자비율이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 소속기관 유형의 대부분은 대학이며, 각 분야별 저자들을 보유한 기관의 수에 차이가 났다. 그리고 저자의 소속기관의 등장빈도에서는 불균등 현상이 나타났다. 분야별로 우수한 연구기관과 저자들의 수가 달랐다. 셋째, 2018년을 기준으로 해서 발행 후 피인용 최상위 논문이 되는 경과년수는 평균 11년으로 나타났다. 넷째, 수록 학술지의대부분은 KCI 등재학술지이며, 학술지의 영향력은 피인용 최상위 논문의 영향요인이 되지 않았다. 다섯째, 분야에 따라 피인용수에 차이가 나타났다. 이 연구는 사회과학 분야 피인용 최상위 논문들의 서지적 특성을 파악한 것에 의의가 있다.
