Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze the papers from 2011 to 2020 to study on the trends of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in Korea, Japan and China. Methods : In order to analyze the research trends on IBS in Korea, Japan and China, domestic and foreign databases were selected to provide academic resources to the common use of telecommunication lines represented by the Internet. The latest research trends were determined by limiting the 10-year period from January 2011 to December 2020. Results : In the past decade, six IBS-related papers have been searched in Korea, six in Japan and 458 in China. Although not many studies have been found in Korea and Japan to understand the research trends, there have been many clinical reports, and researchers are more interested in herbal medicine than acupuncture treatment. In China, where many papers were searched, there were more papers related to herbal medicine than acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment was highly interested by researchers in certain acupoints and stimulation methods, and herbal medicine was found to seek diversity in drug prescription and use. Conclusions : In this study, we were able to understand the research trends of Korea, Japan, and China, and provided information that could be useful as a basic data for establishing the direction of Korean medical research on IBS in the future.

Since the 1990s, the growth of the public library program field progressed rapidly at home and aborad as the proportion of programs increased as a major job for public libraries in response to social changes and user demands. However, it is difficult to find a study to grasp the overall research trend in the field of public library programs in Korea. Accordingly, intellectual structure analysis was performed based on keyword profiling to examine research trends in the domestic public library program field. In particular, keyword analysis, network analysis and cluster analysis, and period/year analysis were performed step by step based on the author keywords (uncontrolled keywords) of degree papers and academic journals retrieved from the RISS database. In addition, based on the results of this intellectual structure analysis, the research trends of public library programs were comprehensively reviewed and future research tasks were presented.

This study aims to identify the academic landscape of the field of Library and Information Science by analyzing the research areas of the four major domestic journals using structural topic modeling and network analysis. The results show that each journal focuses on different research areas. The Journal of the Korean Society for Library and Information Science covers the most comprehensive range of research areas in the field, while the Journal of the Korean Biblia Society for Library and Information Science shows a similar research trend but with a higher preference for research areas related to library management and library programs. The Journal of Korean Library and Information Science Society deals more with topics related to school libraries and reading education and the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management focuses more on information technology and information science. This study is able to provide valuable foundational data for researchers in submitting their papers and for the topical specialization and diversification of the journals in the field of Library and Information Science.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the properties of previous studies related to vocations in the construction field. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, The paper has not been published at the beginning of the establishment of the academic foundation for vocational studies, but there was a marked increase over the next 15 years. Second, research related to vocations in the construction field has been more active in engineering than in social science. Third, the primary data method was used much more than the secondary data method, and the quantitative research method through a questionnaire was the most common research method. Fourth, human objects showed the highest frequency as 78.9%, and among them, technicians was the most. Fifth, as the research topic, psychological and behavioral aspects such as job satisfaction, job stress, turnover intention, and organizational commitment were dealt with most, and structural and environmental aspects such as national job competency standards, job analysis, construction accidents, and career development. It was also found that the topic of the research was actively being dealt with.

The purpose of this study is to examine the trend of the studies on Korean social welfare administration over a recent 10 year period. Employing both network analysis and content analysis, which are representative statistical strategies to identify research trends, we analyzed 221 articles published in the Journal of Korean Social Welfare Administration from 2005 to 2014. The major findings were as follows; First, we found two clusters -"social (welfare) service" and "social welfare organization"- in the studies of social welfare administration. In addition, more than 80% of articles are mainly related with human resource management, including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and so forth. Second, the newly emerging academic subjects such as social enterprise and community network appeared to be done independently of traditional subjects. Third, the proportion of quantitative studies being focused on human resources was overwhelmingly high compared to the other types of studies; therefore, there are a few studies using qualitative or mixed method, evidence based practice, and discourse studies. In addition, the studies of the rural areas, which are a blind spot of the social service delivery system, and the studies about information management, financial management, marketing, organization innovation rarely appeared, despite their significance.

International Commerce and Information Review has been playing an important role of disseminating the outstanding research results in the fields such as trade information and systems, e-trade, regional studies, e-commerce, service trade, trade laws since 1999. This paper aims to find the research trends and distinguished characteristics in the field of trade information by analyzing research keywords of the research papers published in this journal using a social network analysis method. Research keyword data collected from the homepage of the academic society were cleaned and transformed into the co-occurrence network data, which are suitable for social network analysis. NodeXL Pro was used to analyze and visualize the pre-processed data. Through clustering analysis, the most important subject fields or interests were identified as well as those which worked as intermediaries for interdisciplinary researches.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in complementary and alternative therapy in nursing research in Korea. Method: The researchers examined academic theses and dissertations published from 1990 to 2002, and 151 articles were used for the analysis. Result: Nursing research on CAT increased rapidly from 1995 Articles with quantitative research designs made up 93.9% of the total and there were more experimental studies than non-experimental studies. Patients who had surgery, mental disorders, renal failure, hypertension, arthritis, dementia & cancer were the most frequently participants in studies on CAT. The type of CAT used in nursing research were mind-body therapy (65.8%), manual healing therapy (28.7%), phamacologic & biological therapy (3.7%), bioelectromagnetics (0.9%) and herbal therapy (0.9%). In 44 articles both psychological and physiological parameters were used as dependent variables. In 34 articles only physiological parameters were used and in 13 only psychological parameters. The most frequently used physiological parameters in CAT were pain, physiological function and vital signs, while the most used psychological parameters were anxiety, depression and stress. Conclusion: More studies about CAT are needed to extend the role and fields for professional nursing. There is a need to conduct qualitative studies in nursing about the experiences of patients who receive CAT and nurses who use CAT.

In the $21^{st}$ century of digital information society, design is changing from an analog era that focuses on logical and rational knowledge to a new paradigm of an era focused on sensible communications that can react fast. Design becomes to fulfill sensible needs; moreover, full efforts are being made in the academic research of sensibility evaluation for the conceptualization, quantization, and visualization of design sensibilities based on the measurement and evaluation of sensibility. This study provides insight into a sensibility evaluation method to understand the global user's sensibility in the fashion design field. As for research methods, first, measurement methods of physical, psychological, and physiological reactions to design sensibility were examined through written research on sensibility evaluation in both domestic and overseas research. Next, studies on sensibility during the past 15 years from 2000 to 2014 in the field of domestic fashion design were analyzed to grasp research trends in sensibility evaluation methods; subsequently, suitable sensibility evaluation methods for current fashion design were discussed. As a result of the study, it was shown that most sensibility evaluation studies in the field of domestic fashion design are based on surveys using sensibility terms. However, it requires the process of translating among different terms in different lingual cultures and within the limits of a uniformed evaluation. In this regard, recent cases of overseas design studies have been applying new methods to measure physiological reactions such as eye tracking methods combined with IT. The analysis of multilateral sensibility evaluation methods in this study have significant meaning for use as basic data to establish a planning for an evaluation scale to measure the sensibility of global consumers towards modern fashion design more quantitatively.

The study aims at providing research trends of information freedom in Korea. A total of 97 articles, which deal with issues on freedom of information from multidisciplinary areas, were selected for this study. These articles are analyzed according to academic backgrounds, research subjects, disciplinary characteristics, and each research period. The study found that the articles, which review various aspects of freedom of information, are conducted by a number of different disciplinary fields as time passed. However, there was a certain tendency that research methods, purposes, and subjects in this area are limited and biased. As a result, it suggests that expanded multidisciplinary studies are needed and that the complex nature of issues related to freedom of information should be considered.

The number of studies on e-government has increased rapidly in South Korea while the government has implemented world-class e-government. However, there has been little effort to assess the achievements and limitations of e-government studies up to the present. This article analyzes 146 research papers from 43 academic journals by using the meta-analysis method. Our analysis focuses on the papers' perspectives and topics, methodologies and methods, and use of theories. Comparisons to similar foreign studies are also conducted. Our finding shows that there have been substantial improvements and practical contributions of e-government research, mainly in Public Administration and Information Systems literature. Some recommendations are suggested on ways to strengthen e-government research: a multi-disciplinary approach, the rigor and diversity of research methods, theory building, salience, and plasticity.
