In this study, we proposed the FRAD concept model of authority data schema for author, organization and journal titles included in the academic papers. Academic information includes author names, affiliations, publishers, journals and conferences. They are used as access points, and there are multiple relationships among these entities. It is expected that the use of authority data for academic information based on FRAD conceptual model could improve more accurate retrieval of information, systematic management of academic information, and various forms of knowledge representation. In this study, our entity-relationship authority data will be linked to the document, and included the several properties and relationship to identify the object.

There exists a many-to-many mapping relationship between persons and their names. A person may have multiple names, and different persons may share the same name. These synonymous and homonymous names may severely deteriorate the recall and precision of the person search, respectively. This study addresses the characteristics of features for resolving homonymous author names appearing in citation data. As disambiguation features, previous works have employed citation-internal features such as co-authorship, titles of articles, titles of publications as well as citation-external features such as emails, affiliations, Web evidences. To the best of our knowledge, however, there has been no literature to deal with the influences of features on author disambiguation. This study analyzes the effect of individual features on author resolution using a large-scale test set for Korean.

As the number of scientific and technical contents increases, services that support efficient search of scientific and technical contents are required. When an author's affiliation is used as a keyword, not only the contents produced by the affiliation can be searched, but also the identification rate of the search result using the author and the term as keyword can be improved. Because of the ambiguity and vagueness of the data used as a search keyword, the search result may include false negative or false positive. However, the previous research on the control through identification of the search keyword is mainly focused on the author data and terminology data. In this paper, we propose the algorithm to identify affiliations and experiment with show the experiment with scientific and technological contents held by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information.

Despite the important roles of institutions and their collaboration in producing knowledge for innovation, the lack of accurate methods for identifying such knowledge-producing institutions has restricted empirical research on the role of institutions in innovation. This study explores methods to enhance the accuracy of identifying institutions involved in innovation process. To this end, we propose ways to improve accuracy in both aspects of information - data and algorithms - using bibliographic information in the digital health field. Specifically, in the data processing stage before applying algorithms, we address contextual inaccuracies of bibliographic information; in the algorithm application stage, we propose methods to improve the ambiguity of institution names (IND). When compared with the PKG dataset, which is publicly available datasets based on the same bibliographic information, our methods doubled the number of cases available for subsequent analysis. We also discovered that the contribution of Korean institutions in the digital health field is either underestimated or overestimated. The method presented in this study is expected to contribute to empirically researching the role of knowledge-producing institutions in innovation process and ecosystem.

이 연구에서는 국내 인지과학 분야의 연구자 소속 정보와 논문의 표제어 분석을 통해 학제적 구조 파악을 시도해 보았다. 연구 결과 국내 인지과학 분야에서 대표되는 학문 영역은 컴퓨터과학, 심리학, 언어학, 인지과학, 철학, 교육학, 의학, 경영학이었다. 두 시기(1기: 1989-1998, 2기: 1999-2003)로 구분하여 분석한 결과 국내 인지과학 분야는 1기에서는 컴퓨터과학, 심리학, 언어학 순으로 우세한 학문분야가 나타났다. 이와 달리 2기에서는 심리학, 컴퓨터과학, 인지과학, 언어학의 순이었다. 이 같은 결과는 컴퓨터과학의 비중이 초기에 가장 높다가 감소했다는 점에서 외국의 사례와 유사하지만, 외국에 비해서 언어학 분야 연구자의 비중이 다소 높은 것이 국내 인지과학 연구의 특징인 것으로 나타났다. 연구자가 사용한 표제어를 분석한 결과 두 시기에서 모두 컴퓨터과학과 심리학은 인지과학분야에서 융합되기 보다는 독자적인 연구영역을 형성하였다. 또한 시기별 표제어 분석을 통해서 컴퓨터과학이나 심리학 소속 인지과학 연구자들의 관심사가 1기에서 2기로 넘어가면서 변화한 부분을 확인할 수 있었다.

Previous studies have found that the use or development of theory in library and information science (LIS) research is comparatively low and may be trending downward. LIS has also been criticized for relying on theories imported from other disciplines rather than applying or developing theories from within. The theory of information worlds, a social information behavior theory originally introduced in 2008, represents a newer LIS theory whose level of adoption is understudied. This study features a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed research articles which cited or used the theory of information worlds from 2008 to early 2022 to identify trends related to levels of theory use, publication venues, author affiliations, countries, and collaborations, as well as research methods, topics, and populations. Findings suggest that both awareness and use of the theory of information worlds are positively trending, though at slower rates for higher levels of theory use, such as full applications of the theory to guide the collection and analysis of empirical data. The theory has also been used by researchers from around the world and across disciplines, most often with mixed and qualitative methods. While the growth of a new LIS theory is promising, the authors echo calls for increased use and development of the theory of information worlds, and other LIS theories more broadly, and as more interdisciplinary collaboration.

This research used content analysis to examine the research trends of two core journals from 2000 to 2009 in education. The analysis measured research subjects, research methods, research behaviors, numbers of author and co-authors' affiliations, and research funds. The results showed that research articles in educational administration and higher education have increased constantly, whereas research articles in other fields have decreased. Experimental research method was shown to be used widely along with documentary research and survey research method. Most researches were done by one author and each of them were affiliated to universities or research institutions. The research suggested practical educational research, comparative research on international issues and indexes, methodological elaboration, and use of various units of analysis for future studies.

The digital divide (DD) has been recognized as one of the most serious social and public policy issues to emerge from the rapid growth of computing facility, particularly in regard to Internet capabilities, over the past decade. In order to identify DD research trends and contributions, this research has adopted a bibliometric approach to quantitatively assess the research trends of the DD and also utilized information from related literature in the EV2 database from 2000 to 2011. The results show that the most frequently documented type of publications are journal articles, making up 55.2% of the total database of literature. English is the primary language (96.7%), and USA researchers have made the largest contribution (17.0%) to DD literature. Tokai University (Japan), Tilburg University (Netherlands), and Arizona State University (USA) rank as the top three author affiliations. Information technology, the Internet, and economic and social effects are the three top key words that appear in the related DD literature. The results also revealed various regional evidence, main topics, perspectives, frameworks, and solutions that were introduced in DD publications.

This study aims to analyze the research trends of English-language journals in Korean studies published in Korea. Data were collected from four English journals in Korean studies indexed in A&HCI and SCOPUS. A total of 1,840 were selected, including 768 articles of the Korea Journal, 466 articles of The Review of Korean Studies, 285 articles of the Seoul Journal of Korean Studies, and 321 articles of the Acta Koreana, in connection with content analysis, author analysis, author keyword frequency analysis, and topic modeling. In results, the domain research of Korean studies is Humanities, followed by Social Science, and Arts and Kinesiology. These three sectors have grown significantly in publishing numbers since 2000. The subject period of the study is in the order of the modern period, late Joseon, and Japanese colonial period. Authors from domestic affiliations made up 73.34% of the total, but the proportion of authors belonging to foreign institutions continued to increase. As for author keywords, 'Korea'(41), 'Buddhism'(20), 'Koreanwar'(18), and 'Joseon'(18) were derived as top keywords. In topic modeling, six topics were identified; 'Korean culture, cultural transmission,' 'Korean modern political history,' 'Korean social democratization process,' 'Japanese colonial period,' 'Korean religious philosophy,' and 'Korean ancient history.' Through this study, it was possible to identify the interests in and research areas of the recent international academic community of Korean studies.

This study analyzed the research trends of COVID-19 research papers published in medical journals of Korea. Data were collected from 25 MEDLINE journals in 'Medicine and Pharmacy' studies and a total of 800 were selected. As a result of the study, authors from domestic affiliations made up 76.96% of the total, and the proportion of authors from foreign institutions decreased without significant change. The authors' majors were 'Internal Medicine' (32.85%), 'Preventive Medicine/Occupational and Environmental Medicine' (16.23%), 'Radiology' (5.74%), and 'Pediatrics' (5.50%), and 435 (54.38%) papers were collaborative research. As for author keywords, 'COVID19' (674), 'SARSCoV2' (245), 'Coronavirus' (81), and 'Vaccine' (80) were derived as top keywords. There were six words that appeared throughout the entire period: 'COVID19,' 'SARSCoV2,' 'Coronavirus,' 'Korea,' 'Pandemic,' and 'Mortality.' Co-occurrence network analysis was conducted on MeSH terms and author keywords, and common keywords such as 'covid-19,' 'sars-cov-2,' and 'public health' were derived. In topic modeling, five topics were identified, including 'Vaccination,' 'COVID-19 outbreak status,' 'Omicron variant,' 'Mental health, control measures,' and 'Transmission and control in Korea.' Through this study, it was possible to identify the research areas and major keywords by year of COVID-19 research papers published during the 'Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).'
