There have been little comprehensive research for studying impact of foreign journals on Korean scientists. The main reason for this is because there was no extensive citation index database of domestic journals for analysis. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) built the Korea Science Citation Database (KSCD), and have provided Korea Science Citation Index (KSCI) and Korea Journal Citation Reports (KJCR) services. In this article, citing behavior of Korean scientists on foreign journals was examined by using KSCD that covers Korean core journals. This research covers (1) analysis of foreign document types cited, (2) analysis of citation counts of foreign journals by subject and the ratio of citing different disciplines, (3) analysis of language and country of foreign documents cited, (4) analysis of publishers of journals and whether or not journals are listed on global citation index services and (5) analysis for current situation of subscribing to foreign electronic journals in Korea. The results of this research would be useful for establishing strategies for licensing foreign electronic journals and for information services. From this research, immediacy citation rate (average 1.46%), peak-time (average 3.9 years) and half-life (average 8 years) of cited foreign journals were identified. It was also found that Korean scientistis tend to cite journals covered in SCI(E) or SCOPUS, and 90% of cited foreign journals have been licensed by institutions in Korea.

최근 국내 과학기술분야 학회에서는 발행 학술지를 세계적인 학술지로 등재하고자 하는 노력이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라, 해외연구자들을 학술지 편집위원으로 참여 시키고 많은 해외 연구자들이 자체 학술지에 논문을 많이 투고하도록 독려하고 있다. 해외 연구자들간에 이메일로 투고 심사를 처리하고 심사 총평을 작성하는 논문투고심사 프로세스는 심사 이력이 관리도 안 될 뿐만 아니라 논문투고 심사 진행 상황을 알 수 없음으로 인한 이용자의 불편함, 시간적 비효율성 등의 많은 단점이 있다. 이에 KISTI는 해외 연구자들이 학술지 생산을 위한 학술활동 전 과정에 참여할 수 있도록 하고자, 학술지를 체계적으로 운영하고 투명한 상호심사(Peer Review) 과정을 포함하는 학술지 전자 출판과정을 온라인으로 처리하고 모든 메뉴 용어를 국제적인 수준의 영어로 기술한 영문 Article Contribution Management System(ACOMS Ver. 4.0)를 개발하였다. 영문ACOMS는 기존 국문 ACOMS와 달리, 학술지 홈페이지를 포함하고 있으며, 저자와 편집위원 혹은 저자와 판사 간의 온라인 논문 교정 프로세스가 들어가 있다. 영문 ACOMS는 2012년 현재에도 국제적인 시스템으로 거듭나기 위해 지속적인 기능개선을 추진하고 있다. 개발된 영문 ACOMS 기능에 대해 살펴보고, 향후 개선방안에 대해 기술한다.

The primary purpose of this paper is to suggest the import and development models of foreign scholarly journals in Korea. In the context of the emerging knowledged-based economy or knowledge society, innovations and capacity of the national information system to collect, disseminate, and preserve the most important STM journals are becoming increasingly fundamental determinants of national prosperity and survival. It is essential that the scholarly or scientific communication system must provide the cost-effectiveness access to scholarly journals in support of research and development in Korea.

This study aims to review the possibility of OA to international journal articles cited by researchers of the library and information science field in Korea. For this, the international journal articless cited to the articles (1,543) of the Korean Society for Information Management were collected, and the investigation was carried out regarding the OA policy of the international journals and the status of journals that can be open to the public through the OA according to the OA policy. In addition, this study analyzed the actual accessibility by utilizing the OA finders (Google Scholar, Unpaywall, OA Button). The analysis result indicated that the majority of the international journals were using the green OA policy. Also, 1,476 journal articles which is 95.4% of the total international journal articles were allowed to be accessed officially with the OA. The results of reviewing the actual accessibility rate of the journal articles open to the public through the use of the OA finders indicated that accessibility was up to 68% when using Google Scholar, and the maximum accessibility rate was 72% when mixing the OA finders. Among the OA finders, Google Scholar had the greatest OA accessibility rate, but it was desirable to mix the OA finders in order to expand the OA accessibility rate to the maximum level.

Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) is the national information center that has collected, analyzed and managed Science and Technology information resources comprehensively since 1962. KISTI has conducted several researches and made "KISTI Information Resources Development Policy" in order to select overseas S&T core journals. This paper aims to develop overseas S&T core journals that have not distributed in the country as the part of this effort. This paper analyses the documents requested to KISTI and delivered from overseas information centers for the last 6 years. This paper selects overseas S&T core journals based on the domestic request through conducting journal usage analysis, citation analysis, and cost effectiveness analysis.

The purpose of this case study is to analyze the economics of journals of Science and Technology using the cost per use(CPU) approach. To achieve this purpose, we selected 1,745 foreign academic journals randomly among the holdings at K institute in Korea, and analyzed the relationships between the CPU and 5 factors of journal, i.e., Impact Factors (IF), Overlap numbers of holding with other institutes, Language, Cost, and Frequency of use. It is found that all factors, except IF, are significantly influence to the CPU of foreign journals, and further detailed analysis is provided in term of the group differences within each factors.

This paper describes the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis on the usage of foreign scientific and technical journals. In this study, the measure of cost-effectiveness chosen is the Cost Per Use(CPU) of a journal article. The photocopy usage data and annual subscription costs of journals subscribed by Korea Institute of Science & Technology Information were used. The results of this study illustrate that distribution of subscription cost and photocopy usage, Cost Per Use(CPU) of each journal, CPU of each subject field, etc. 80 percent of the demand for the journal was met by 40 percent of total subscription cost. A relationship was found between subscription cost and photocopy usage, however, no relationship was found between subscription cost and CPU.

The checklist method is one of the oldest and traditional approaches to the evaluation of library collection. A list of items is checked against the library holdings as the percentage of items held is calculated. This paper reports an evaluation of the KISTI's SciTech journal collection with checklist method. The checklist of SciTech Collection has been made by major STM Databases in STN International.

본 연구는 우리나라 디자인학분야 5개 학회(협회)지의 2002년분에 인용된 3,046개 문헌을 인용문헌의 형태별, 발행지별, 발행년도별, 주제별로 분석하여 디자인학분야 연구자의 문헌 이용행태와 문헌의 이용가치 감소현상 즉 반감기를 측정하였다. 연구결과 디자인학분야 연구자들은 단행본(62.5%), 학술잡지기사(21.8%), 논문(10.8%), 보고서(2.9%), 기타(2%)순으로 많이 이용하였으며, 단행본의 인용이 현저히 많은 것으로 자료 형태별 이용에 있어 국내 디자인학분야 연구자의 연구활동이 국내 사회과학, 미술분야와 유사하다고 볼 수 있다. 발행지별로 분석한 결과는 국내 디자인학분야 연구자들이 국내문헌을 해외문헌보다 2.5배정도 많이 이용한 것으로 국내문헌에 많이 의존하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이것은 해외문헌을 국내문헌보다 2배정도 많이 이용한 것으로 분석된 사회과학분야의 선행연구와 비교할 때 디자인학분야에서는 정반대의 현상을 보이는 것이나 4배정도 국내문헌을 많이 이용한 것으로 분석된 미술분야의 선행연구와는 유사한 결과를 나타내는 것이다. 디자인학분야 문헌의 반감기는 5.75년이었으며, 자료형태별 반감기는 단행본(6.64년), 논문(5.97년), 학술잡지기사 (4.55년), 기타(3.73년), 보고서(3.41년) 순으로 분석되었고, 발행지별 반감기는 해외문헌(9.1년), 국내문헌(5.1년)순으로 분석되었다. 또한 타주제와의 관계분석에 있어 경영학, 건축술, 공학 등과 긴밀한 관계를 맺고 있는 것으로 디자인학이 단순히 미를 추구하는 것이 아니라 산업경쟁력 증진의 도구로서 존재한다는 것을 알 수 있다.
