Coauthorship Analysis of Innovation Studies in Korea : A Social Network Perspective
한국의 기술혁신 연구자 관계구조 분석 : 사회네트워크 관점
Abstract
We analyze the embedded structure of the cooperative research network of innovation studies in Korea by employing the social network methodology. The network covers all the contributing authors of two journals such as JTI and KTIS, which are the representative journals in the area. Across the networks, the following is noted: networks are highly segmented and the link density is low. However, the KTIS network contains a huge component with 131 authors which implies the existence of a strong cooperative research infrastructure. We derived three sub-networks such as technology economics, technology management, and technology policy. The technology policy network has the lowest link density, while the technology management network of KTIS shows relatively high cohesion among the researchers. Simulation analysis for the mean links of networks by author affiliation divided into university and others show no significant difference between the two networks. We also found a higher ratio of linkage within affiliated network than between networks, rejecting our hypothesis that researchers will not discriminate their research partners due to strong governmental inducement of academia-res each-industry cooperation. The explainability of indices from network structure such as structural holes and clustering coefficients on the performance of researchers measured by the number of citations confirms the results reported in Oh, Choi & Kim (2006) which dealt with the research network of information systems.
