Abstract

Background: There haven't been any papers that have analyzed the recent trends in the changing attitudes and results of Korean thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons who submit scientific papers to the major cardiothoracic journals. Material and Method: I analyzed the original articles that were published in the major cardiothoracic surgery journals from 1995 to 2008 by Korean thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons. The data was retrieved from the internet websites of Pubmed, three major international SCI (Science Citation Index) journals and the Korean Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. I then analyzed the data according to the chronological year, the subjects and the subspecialties. Result: The total number of original articles in the three international journals was 14,629. Among them, the number of articles written by Korean scientists was 157 (1.07%). A sharp increase was identified from 28 articles out of 7,674 articles (0.36%) prior to 2002, to 129 articles out of 6,955 articles (1.83%) after 2003. On the other hand, the annual number of articles in the Korean Journal was markedly decreased from 126.8 articles by 1999 to 80.0 articles after 2000. The annual number of articles in the Korean Journal was also decreased from 58.8% by 1999 to 48.3% after 2000. Conclusion: There was an observed increase in submitting articles to the international SCI journals after 2000 rather than to the Korean journal. The proportion of original articles in the Korean journal is also decreasing. I think we need to pay special attention to improve the quality and quantity of articles published in the Korean journal.

배경: 최근 국내외 연구환경의 변화로 논문저술의 양상이 변하고 있으나 한국 흉부외과의사들의 저술활동에 대해서는 분석된 바가 없다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년부터 2008년까지 14년간 대한흉부외과학회 소속 의사들이 국내외 주요 학술잡지에 발표한 윈저논문을 대상으로 하였다. SCI (Science Citation Index)급 해외 흉부외과 학술잡지 3개와 대한흉부외과학회지 및 Pubmed의 인터넷 홈페이지를 통해 자료를 수집하였고 이를 연도별, 분야별로 분석하였다. 결과: 해외잡지에 게재된 논문의 총수는 14,629편이었으며 이중 한국흉부외과의사에 의해 작성된 것은 157편으로 1.07%를 차지하였다. 2002년까지 총 7,674편중 28편(0.36%)이었던 것이 2003년부터 급격히 증가하여 총 6,955편중 129편(1.83%)이 게재되었다. 반면 대한흉부외과학회지에 게재된 논문의 수는 1999년까지 연평균 126.8편이던 것이 2000년 이후로는 연평균 80.0편으로 감소하였다. 또한 원저의 비율은 1999년까지는 58.8%이었던 것이 2000년 이후에는 48.3로 감소하였다. 결론: 2000년대에 들어서면서 국내잡지보다는 해외잡지에 논문을 투고하는 경향이 증가하였으나 상대적으로 국내잡지의 게재논문 수 및 원저의 비율이 줄어들고 있어 대책마련이 시급하다.
