연구 활동과 과학 지식 생산성에 있어서 학술 연구 전산망의 역할

The Role of Academic and Research Computer Networks in Research Activities and Productivity of Scientists and Engineers

학술 연구 전산망은 연구자에게 정보 자원과 부가 가치가 높은 정보 서비스를 제공 하며 결과적으로 연구자의 연구 활동과 연구 생산성에 큰 변수로써 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 고는 연구자들간에 유용한 정보 유통 도구로써 정착해 가고 있는 학술 연구 전산망의 제기 능과 연구 활동에 있어서 그의 역할을 고찰하였으며, 한국의 학술 연구 전산망 현상을 조사 분석하고 그 방향을 전망하였다.

Academic and research computer networks are the essential communications component that can provide scientists and engineers with convenient access to local and remote computing and information resources. Nowadays, academic and research computer networks, providing access to a variety of resources and information services, can significantly increase the productivity of scientists and engineers. In Korea there have been some activities of academic and research networks since early of 1980. This study presents background of development of computer network, summaries the types of services offered by academic and research computer networks and analyses the potential benefits resulting from their availability. Use and need of Korean researchers about academic and research computer networks are also reviewed as well as it prospects Korean Computer Network for Education and Research & Development, a new national-base network being implemented by government.
