Background: In 1997 the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) instituted a program to evaluate member journals. Journals that passed the initial evaluation were indexed in the KoreaMed. Here, we report changes in measures of quality of the KAMJE member journals during the last 20 years. Methods: Quality measures used in the study comprised 3 assessment categories; self-assessment by journal editors, assessment of the journals by KAMJE reviewers, and by Korean health science librarians. Each used detailed criteria to score the journals on a scale of 0 to 5 or 6 in multiple dimensions. We compared scores at baseline evaluation and those after 7 years for 129 journals and compared improvements in journals indexed vs. not-indexed by the Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded; SCIE). Results: Among 251 KAMJE member journals at the end of 2015, 227 passed evaluation criteria and 129 (56%) had both baseline and 7-year follow-up assessment data. The journals showed improvement overall (increase in median [interquartile range; IQR] score from baseline, 0.47 [0.64]; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.44-0.61; P < 0.001) and within each category (median [IQR] increase by editor's assessment, 0.17 [0.83]; 95% CI, 0.04-0.26; P = 0.007; by reviewer's, 0.45 [1.00]; 95% CI, 0.29-0.57; P < 0.001; by librarian's, 1.75 [1.08]; 95% CI, 1.77-2.18, P < 0.001). Before the foundation of KAMJE in 1996, there were only 5 Korean medical journals indexed in the MEDLINE and none in SCIE, but 24 journals in the MEDLINE and 34 journals in SCIE were indexed by 2016. Conclusion: The KAMJE journal evaluation program successfully contributes improving the quality of the member journals.

이 글은 전자잡지의 선정, 예산, 정책결정, 장서평가, 보존 등 전자잡지에 관한 장서관리문제를 소개 분석하고 있다. 전자잡지와 관련한 직원과 예산이 주제별 접근방식이나 형태별 접근방식에 따라, 또는 이 두 접근방식을 병행하여 조직될 수 있다고 주장하고 있다. 전자잡지는 인쇄형태 잡지와 마찬가지로 자료식별, 평가, 선정이라는 3단계과정을 거쳐 선정된다. 전자잡지는 인쇄형태잡지에 적용되는 전통적 기준뿐만 아니라 또 다른 기준이 추가로 적용된다. 이 글은 전자잡지의 구독취소와 제적을 언급하고 있지 않지만, 그 중요성은 증가할 것이다. 잡지의 소유권보다는 이용가능성과 접근가능성에 중점을 둔 새로운 이용자위주 평가 방법기법에 대한 요구가 일고 있다.

The purpose of this study aims to analyze research trends related to 'evaluation' in Korean medical education through a systematic review. This study used a systematic review method, which is a research methodology for research trends and 'literature analysis.' Researchers searched the Korean journal literature published until the end of December 2020 in the Korean research database with keywords related to medicine and evaluation. Thus, 5,205 cases were identified. Based on these data, 143 papers were selected through a logical screening process, requiring 1 month to complete the data search and analysis process. In terms of publications, medical journals overwhelmingly outnumbered nonmedical journals until 2015; however, after 2016, the number of papers published in nonmedical journals increased, and the number of published papers was similar to that of medical journals. In terms of evaluation-related research, research on student and program evaluations has been very active compared to that on accreditation. As the number of evaluation studies has gradually decreased over the past 10 years, preparing a plan to revitalize them in Korean medical education is necessary. Considering that the role of evaluation in education has been emphasized in recent years, research on reestablishing the concept of evaluation; developing evaluation indicators; analyzing the status of student evaluation, program evaluation, and accreditation; and deriving measures to improve medical education through evaluation is required.

During the last two decades, impact factor has been widely used as a journal evaluation metric that differentiates the influence of a specific journal compared with other journals. However, impact factor does not provide a reliable metric between journals in different subject categories. For example, higher impact factors are given to biology and general sciences than those assigned to other traditional engineering and social sciences. This study initially analyzes the trend of the time series of the impact factors of the journals listed in Journal Citation Reports during the last decade. This study then proposes new journal evaluation metrics that adjust the impact factors across different subject categories. The proposed metrics possibly provides a consistent measure to mitigate the differences in impact factors among subject categories. On the basis of experimental results, we recommend the most reliable and appropriate metric to evaluate journals that are less dependent on the characteristics of subject categories.

이 연구는 전자저널의 평가모형 개발에 관한 연구로서 전자저널의 개념 및 특징 파악, 평가모형 개발, 그리고 평가의 세 단계로 진행되었다. 평가모형은 전자저널의 양적측면과 질적측면을 종합적으로 고려할 수 있도록 개발되었으며, P대학교 도서관이 구독 중인 ScienceDirect 수록 저널 중 기계공학분야 저널을 대상으로 평가를 실시하였다. 평가결과 P대학교가 2000년부터 기계공학분야의 주요저널로서 선정 구독해온 22종의 저널 중 10종(45.5%)이 여전히 가치가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 22종의 기계공학분야 주요저널은 양적측면보다 질적측면에서 더 높은 점수를 받았다. 2000년 당시 패키지 형태로 서비스되기 시작하였던 77종의 기계공학분야 저널 중 14종이 종합평가 결과 주요저널로서 구독될 가치가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 지난 8년간 P대학교 연구자들이 이용해온 총 99종의 기계공학분야 저널의 중요도에 변화가 있었으며, 이는 연구진의 교체, 학계의 연구 동향 등이 반영된 결과로 해석할 수 있다.

Purpose: To examine the results of PBL classes for sophomore nursing students during one semester. Method: Self-reflection journals and class evaluation questionnaires were collected from 121 nursing students and analyzed. Results of class evaluation questionnaires were analyzed using mean scores, SD, frequencies and percentages. Significant statements were derived by repeated review of the self-reflection journals by the researchers. Results: The statements, 'Understanding of PBL' 'Improvement of human relationships' 'Expansion of nursing knowledge' 'Excellency in nursing class and application of nursing skills in nursing practices' and 'Improvement of learning ability and attitude during classes' were derived from the self-reflection journals. Analysis of class evaluation questionnaires showed the following scores: prerequisite of PBL (3.0/4), role of facilitator (3.48/4) and satisfaction with PBL learning (3.31/4). Also some complaints such as lack of adequate references in the library, and confusion in at the beginning of PBL were noted. Conclusion: PBL was effective. Using the results of the study for planning a more effective PBL class syllabus is recommended.

The academic journal is a very important means for science communication, and it is critical for academic development. Most of Korean academic journals are not doing their fundamental roles because of the researchers' perception about their quality. A fundamental thing for Korean academic Journals to contribute effectively to science communication would be the effective evaluation on the journal. The purpose of this study is to develop an evaluation model for Korean academic Journals. This model will be effective for quality measurement, manifestation of the strength and weakness, and for the improvement of journal qualify. It was developed through analysis on evaluation activities of two institutions, and through interviews and surveys on Korean researchers.

이 연구는 Y대 도서관의 전자저널 컨소시엄 중 Academic Press의 2000년분 IDEAL 이용통계를 대상으로 인쇄본 병행구독 전자저널과 단독구독 전자저널의 전문 내려받기 수를 기준으로 그 이용현황을 평가하였으며, 평가결과를 대상으로 비용편익 및 효과를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 Y대 도서관에서는 전자 저널로만 구독하는 것보다 인쇄본과 전자저널을 동시에 구독하는 병행구독 전자저널의 전문을 더 많이 이용한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 IDEAL의 비용편익을 분석한 결과, 편익은 거의 없는 것으로 나타난 반면에 비용효과는 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 이 연구결과에 따라 전자저널을 구독해서 이용을 활성화할 수 있는 방법으로서 대학도서관들이 전자저널 구독대행사에 임시사용권을 요청하고, 전자저널에 대한 이용자교육, 다양한 이용통계의 분석, 이용자 만족도 조사를 실시할 것을 제언하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the selection process of the Science Citation Index(SCI). SCI has been the benchmarking medium of scientific journals for over 40 years by reviewing thousands of journals published each year. The discipline of Traditional Oriental Medicine has been gaining global interest in recent years, yet the number of related journals indexed by SCI has been minimal. Korean Medicine has been producing number of quality journals for decades, but lack of journals in the English language and other problems has hindered consideration for registering with SCI. This paper will focus on the journal selection process at ISI and recommend the criteria needed for a journal to be considered for SCI selection.

This study is about the influence of recording reflective journals and receiving feedback from professors on academic achievements in technical writing. We analyzed the differences between the test group who had recorded reflective journals and getting feedback, and the control group who had gotten feedback without reflective journals. And we compared academic achievements by conducting both professor evaluation and peer evaluation in technical writing. The results showed better learning effect, learning satisfaction and academic achievements in the test group than the other.
