Background : The purpose of our study was to analyze scientific papers published by South Korean plastic surgeons in journals included in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), and to evaluate the publication and research activities of Korean plastic surgeon. Methods : We conducted a survey of SCIE papers in the field of plastic surgery published by South Korean authors between 2001 and 2010 using Web of Science software. We further analyzed these results according to the number of publications per year, journals, institution, and type of papers. We also compared the total number of citations to published scientific papers. We analyzed the rank of South Korea among other countries in representative journals. Results : Overall, 667 papers were published by South Korean authors between 2001 and 2010. The number of publications increased dramatically from 2003 (n=31) to 2010 (n=139). Subsequently, the ten most productive Korean medical colleges were identified. All published papers received 2,311 citations and the citation to paper ratio was 3.49. The rank of Korea among other countries in terms of the number of published papers remained in the top 10 during the recent 10 years. Conclusions : Publication output of Korean plastic surgeon over the last 10 years showed a remarkable growth in terms of quantity and quality. Currently, Korea is among the top six countries in representative plastic surgery journals. Korean plastic surgeons have played a central role in this progress, and it is anticipated that they will continue to do so in the future.

한국과학재단 연구 인력 DB를 활용하여 지구과학을 포함한 국내 이공계 연구자의 연구 실적을 분석하였다. DB에 수록된 지질과학분야 연구자수는 312명(점유율 $1.5\%$)이고, 최근 5년간(1999년부터 2003년까지) 게재실적은 SCI 학술지가 1,026편(점유율 $0.2\%$)이었고, 일반학술지가 3,265편(점유율 $0.5\%$)이었다. 최근 5년간 1인당 SCI 학술지 게재실적은 지질과학 분야가 3.3편, 수학은 4.0편, 물리학은 57.6편, 화학은 60.4편, 생물학은 33.4편으로 조사되었다. 지질과학분야 중 세부 분야별 연구자의 1인당 SCI 논문 게재실적은 환경지질학 9.6편, 층서퇴적학 4.6편, 지구화학 4.2편, 지하 수학 3.6편, 지질해양 3.5편, 자원공학 3.2편 순이었다. 본 조사분석 연구 결과는 지구과학과 타 이공계 분야간의 연구실적의 양과 질적인 측면에서의 상대 비교를 위한 근거로 활용될 수 있다.
