This paper is a preliminary study to consider the introduction of structured abstracts to Korean journals in the field of library and information science (LIS). To achieve this, we first identified examples of overseas LIS journals that have adopted structured abstracts, and analyzed the occurrence statistics of each section of structured abstracts for four journals published by Emerald Publishing that emphasize the value of research and practical/social implications sections. Considering the inherent drawback of longer abstracts, we examined the abstract policies and the abstract lengths of recently published articles of four Korean LIS journals. Additionally, we identified some cases where essential elements were missing from the Korean abstracts. Finally, a proposal for the adoption of structured abstracts for Korean LIS journals was presented, focusing on the length of abstracts and the organization of sections. It is expected that the adoption of the proposed structured abstract format will facilitate the utilization of Korean LIS research in the library and information management practice.

이 연구는 정보관리학회지에 실린 국문과 영문 초록을 중심으로 초록의 구조와 그 속성을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해 학회지의 저자초록을 중심으로 편집규정, 초록의 종류, 구조, 문장분석, 내용분석, 문체분석을 하였다. 대상초록은 1997년과 2014년에 간행된 학회지 논문이다. 그 결과 1997년까지는 지시적 초록이었으며 이후 대부분 정보적 초록으로 나타났다. 초록의 내용은 1997년에는 수록 논문의 68%가 목적 범위와 연구방법으로, 2014년에는 84%가 목적 범위/연구방법/결과 결론으로 나타났다.

To understand the present states of abstracting and to investigate contents of abstracts, a survey content analysis was done in the field sciences. Of the 102 nation wide scholarly journals examined $54(53\%)$ included abstracts with articles. 33 had abstracts in Korea Among the 34 journals with editorial statements about abstracting only 13 had suggestions about abstract contents. Based on the investigation, 4 disciplines having abstracts mostly was selected and 149 abstracts in the 4 major journals in each discipline were sampled. Complete abstracts were ama;uzed according to 12 variables covering required content elements, unnecessary statements, and writing styles. Statistical characteristics of the abstracts is varied among disciplines and the scope is very wide. Particularly number of paragraph and number of character per abstract is much different from the standards. The content analysis showed $51\%$ of the abstracts were incomplete. $39\%$ of the abstracts did not mention research method used. 59 abstracts included unnecessary statements. Writing stle analysis also showed many faults both in the pronoun abuse and the misuse of voice or tense. Korean author abstracts in social science scholarly journals have deficiencies in linguistic structures as well as in contents and style.

The bibliometric analysis was conducted by searching 87 abstract & index databases provided by the DIALOG to identify not only the characteristics of Korean journals covered by international databases, but also the characteristics of the databases covering such Korean journals. 248 Korean journals were identified, for which at least one paper published between 1990 and 1997 was retrievable from the DIALOG databases. These Korean journals were found in 52 databases. 141 journals(56.9%) were indexed in only one database. Most Korean journals covered in several DIALOG databases were science and engineering journals published in English. The difference in the degrees Korean journals are covered in a database is found to be statistically significant by the discipline a database covers, and by the database's journal selection policy.

This study proposes a Korean aut.omatic abstracting system in microbiology by applying Case Grammar, Concept Dependency Grammar, and Unification-Based Grammar(PATR- I[. DCG). The sample abstracts are analyzesd to clarify the ideal structure of abstract-a purpose sentence as first sentcnce, 2-3 method and result sentences as middle sentences, and a conclusion sentence as last sentences. To extract and refine the representative sentences constructing an automated abstract requires tht. rules giving the role features to nouns. And t.he rules rearranging the extracted sentences and the rules generating the abstract sentences arc also required. Evaluat.ing the effic~ency of this system. the method used in this automatic abstracting system needs thc more precise role features and the rules of sentence generation to reach the level of the author abstracts.

Structured abstracts have been regarded as an essential information factor to represent topics of journal articles. This study aims to provide an unconventional view to utilize structured abstracts with the analysis on sub fields of a structured abstract in depth. In this study, a structured abstract was segmented into four fields, namely, purpose, design, findings, and values/implications. Each field was compared in the performance analysis of document clustering. In result, the purpose statement of an abstract affected on the performance of journal article clustering more than any other fields. Furthermore, certain types of keywords were identified to be excluded in the document clustering to improve clustering performance, especially by Within group average clustering method. These keywords had stronger relationship to a specific abstract field such as research design than the topic of an article.

The study examined the current status and the use of electronic publishing files to produce a bibliographic database. In particular . it examined the problems faced in the production of KoreaMed, an abstract database of Korean medical journals. The methodology of KoreaMed to utilize the computer files which was produced in the process of publication of a print journal is found to be very effective. It assures the accuracy of data, accelerates the input speeds, and reduces the input costs. However, such a project can not be accomplished to a satisfactory level without the cooperation of the publishers involved. It turns out that many small publishers and academic societies hardly have saved the electronic publishing files of previous issues. Besides, it is hard to maintain the right channel to receive the files continuously. The input and processing of special characters are very delicate problems. In addition, the diversity of layout and formats of journals, of the electronic publishing software used, and of the storage media, makes the utilization of the electronic publishing files a very complex process. In order to operate the KoreaMed system more efficiently by requiring the publishers to submit XML files which meets the standard of the KoreaMed, it is necessary to educate and train personnels of journal publishers for the management of electronic publishing files.

한국학술지의 국제 색인ㆍ초록 데이터베이스 등재 여부를 추적하는 것은 한국학술지의 국제적인 위상을 파악하는데 중요하며, 학술지의 구체적인 평가자료로서도 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 세계최대의 데이터뱅크중 하나인 DIALOG 데이터베이스에 등재되는 한국학술지와 그 학술지들이 등재되는 데이터베이스에 대해 계량학적 측정을 통하여 그 특성을 분석·규명하였다.

최근 Elsevier사에서 제작하여 현재 베타버전으로 시험 서비스 중에 있는 Scopus는,13,000여종의 학술지에 수록된 2,600만여 건의 논문에 대한 초록을 제공하는 세계에서 가장 규모가 큰 웹 데이터베이스이다. 여기에는 SCI와 SSCI에 등재된 7,000여종의 학술지와 자체적인 학술지 선정기준에 의해 추가한 6,000여종의 학술지에 수록된 논문에 대한 초록을 제공하고 있다. 또한 최근 5년간의 학술지에 수록된 각 논문의 참고문헌을 제공하고 있으며, 이들 참고문헌을 토대로 각 논문에 대한 피인용 회시수와 인용문헌에 대한 정보도 제공하고 있다. 이처럼 최근 등장한 Scopus가 SCI와 SSCI에 수록된 학술지를 망라하고 있을 뿐 아니라 인용정보도 제공하고 있다는 점에서, 현재 전세계적으로 가장 대표적인 인용색인인 SCI, SSCI및 A&HCI의 웹 데이터베이스인 Web of Science와 필적할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 Elsevier사에서는, 엄격한 심사기준에 의해 핵심 학술지만을 유지시키고 있는 Thomson-ISI사와는 달리, 학술지의 망라성에 비중을 두고 최소한의 질적 수준을 갖춘 학술지라면 모두 Scopus에서 별도로 추가한 6,000여종의 학술지에 대해 다각적인 측면에서의 검증이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

A rhetorical segment in traditional abstract displaying a sign of particular function is frequently referred to as a move. One of the most common moves is the Background, Aim, Method, Results, and Conclusion (BAMRC). The objective of this paper is to investigate the move patterns of research article abstracts in the field of social sciences based on BAMRC moves. Using the Scopus bibliographic database, a total of 467 abstracts from 298 research journals in the field of social sciences were analyzed. The result showed a wide range of move patterns. The implication of the result of this study suggests the existing traditional abstracts in social sciences might not be sufficiently "informative" due to missing moves and due to various move orders. To this end, automatically mapping moves in traditional abstracts to sub-headings in structured abstracts can be a more challenging task, requiring additional procedures to resolve these types of compatibility issues. Future studies can compare this study's result to other fields or disciplines within social sciences in order to find a more precise nature of abstracts in the field of social sciences.
