Abstract

Today, many learned societies are very interested in publishing international journal, especially for titles from non-English speaking countries. In Korea, there is not many studies on publishing international journals except for some cases trying to internationalize domestic journals. This study analyzed international factors of domestic 143 titles offering DOI by KoreaScience. The analysis showed that many of these journals have low impact factors and editorial board without a lot of foreign scholars. Some titles don't have online submission platform or English websites. It is recommended that domestic journals should reinforce international factors including global distribution with visibility to be considered as reputable international journals.

요즈음 국내외를 막론하고 국제 학술지 출판에 대한 관심이 매우 높다. 특히 비영어권 국가를 중심으로 국제 학술지 출판에 관한 연구가 속속 발표되고 있어 주목을 끈다. 한국은 학술지의 국제화를 추진한 몇몇 사례를 보고하는 정도에 머무를 뿐 경험적인 연구가 활발하지 않다. 이에 이 연구는 KoreaScience를 통해 DOI를 제공하고 있는 국내 학술지 143종의 국제성 데이터를 수집해 상세히 분석함으로써 국내 학술지의 국제화 현황을 파악하고자 하였다. 분석 결과 이들 학술지의 영향력지수는 증가세이지만 아직 우수한 수준은 아니었고, 편집위원회의 외국인 비중이 낮은 학술지도 적지 않았으며, 일부 학술지는 온라인 투고 시스템이 없었고, 영문 웹사이트를 운영하지 않는 곳도 있었다. 향후 국내 학술지가 국제 학술지로 거듭 나기 위해서는 이와 같은 국제성 요소를 적극 보완하고, 글로벌 유통을 포함한 가시성 향상에 보다 매진하여야 할 것으로 보인다.
