Abstract

This study analyzed humanities and social science (HSS) journals of KCI to examine the multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity in the general and miscellaneous fields (hereinafter referred to as 'GM fields'), The multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity identified in this study will be a foundation to improve classification of KCI journals in GM fields. Each journal's multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity were measured by journal-level entropy and document-level entropy, respectively, in the citation relationships. According to the analysis, GM field journals have wide ranges of multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. To improve classification quality of journals in GM fields, the general humanities should be considered as a new classification class for the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journals in the humanities. Furthermore, this study proposes a strategy to reclassify GM field journals of HSS according to their multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.

이 연구는 KCI 기타인문학, 기타사회과학, 사회과학일반 분야(이하 '일반 및 기타 분야'로 표기)에 속한 학술지의 다학문성과 학제성을 분석한 후, 이를 바탕으로 일반 및 기타 분야의 학술지 분류에 대한 개선방안을 제안하는 것이 목적이다. 개별 학술지의 다학문성과 학제성은 인용관계에 나타난 학술지 단위 엔트로피와 논문 단위 엔트로피로 각각 측정하였다. 학술지 간 인용관계 분석 결과 KCI 일반 및 기타 분야에는 다학문성과 학제성 측면에서 다양한 학술지가 혼재되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 일반 및 기타 분야 학술지의 분류를 바로잡기 위해서는 우선 학술연구분야 분류표에 인문학일반 분야를 새로 설정할 필요가 있음을 밝혔다. 나아가서 각 학술지의 다학문성 수준 및 학제성 수준을 고려하여 일반 및 기타 분야 학술지를 재분류하는 방안을 제안하였다.
