Abstract

In this study, research topic areas in Korean and American medical schools were analyzed to detect each nation's major research areas. CLINICAL NEUROLOGY was identified as the Korean researchers' major subject area by the total number of journals and 'RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE & MEDICAL IMAGING' was the most major area by the total number of articles. On the other hand, American researchers' top major subject area was the one same area according to all analysis, BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. In addition, Korean researchers showed publishing tendency related to journal preference in several subject areas.

본 연구에서는 한국과 미국의 주요 의과대학 소속 연구자들이 발표한 연구논문 주제영역을 분석함으로써, 의학 주제영역의 학제적 성격에 대한 파악과 함께 국가별 연구 주제 영역의 특성과 경향을 비교하였다. 분석 결과 저널 수로 파악된 한국 의학 연구자들의 주요 연구 영역은 CLINICAL NEUROLOGY이며 논문수로 파악된 주요 연구영역은 RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE & MEDICAL IMAGING로 나타났다. 반면, 미국 의학 연구자들의 주요 연구영역은 저널 및 논문 분석 결과 모두 동일하게 BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY로 나타났다. 또한 한국 연구자들은 몇몇 주제분야에서 일부 저널에 논문을 다수 게재하는 출판경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
