Abstract

The importance of the composition of the editorial board member is increasing as one of the measures to improve the quality of journals and to increase its international use. In this study, the composition of the Editorial Board Member (EBM) was analyzed for the journals listed in WoS and SCOPUS among domestic journals published in the field of social sciences to derive considerations to promote the internationalization of academic journals. As a result, for the internationalization of academic journals in the social science field, the composition of EBM that can promote the convergence of theory and practice, consideration of the regional aspect for the efficiency of EBM work, the composition of the EBM considering the efficiency of English-based academic communication, participation of researchers in EBM who can connect academics and the field should be considered.

학술지의 질적 수준을 제고하고 국제적 이용도를 높이기 위한 방안 가운데 하나로 편집위원회 구성의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사회과학 분야의 국내 발행 학술지 가운데 WoS와 SCOPUS에 등재된 학술지를 대상으로 편집위원회(Editorial Board Member: EBM)의 구성을 분석하여 학술지의 국제화를 도모하기 위한 고려사항을 도출하였다. 연구 결과, 사회과학 분야 학술지의 국제화를 위해서는 이론과 실무의 융합을 도모할 수 있는 EBM의 구성, EBM의 업무 효율화를 위한 지역적 측면의 고려, 영어 기반의 학술 커뮤니케이션 효율화를 고려한 EBM의 구성, 학계와 현장을 연계할 수 있는 연구진의 EBM 참여 등을 고려해야 하는 것으로 분석되었다.
