Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the equality between keywords used in the Journal of the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and medical subject headings (MeSH). A total of 4,353 English keywords in 1,165 papers from 1998 to 2014 were eligible for this study. We classified them according to equality to MeSH. We assayed patterns of errors in using MeSH, and reviewed frequently used non-MeSH terms. 24.9% of total keywords were completely coincident with MeSH terms, 75.1% were not MeSH terms. The results show that the accordance rate of keywords with MeSH terms in the Journal of the Korean Pediatric Dentistry is at a low level. Therefore, there is a need for authors to understand MeSH more specifically and accurately. Use of proper keywords aligned with the international standards such as MeSH is important to be properly cited. Authors should pay attention and be educated on the correct use of MeSH as keywords.

연구의 목적은 대한소아치과학회지에서 사용된 주요어와 의학주제표목(medical subject headings, MeSH)와의 일치도를 분석하는 것이다. 1998년부터 2014년까지 대한소아치과학회지에 게재된 1165편의 논문에서 총 4353개의 주요어를 연구대상으로 하여, MeSH와 일치하는 단어와 일치하지 않는 단어로 분류하였다. 주요어의 24.9%는 MeSH 용어와 일치하였고, 75.1%는 일치하지 않았다. 이 결과는 대한소아치과학회지의 주요어와 MeSH와의 일치도가 낮음을 보여준다. 따라서 MeSH를 더 구체적이고 정확하게 이해할 필요가 있다. MeSH와 같은 적절한 주요어를 사용하는 것은 국제적인 기준에 부합하기 위해 필요하다. 저자들은 주요어로써 적절한 MeSH 용어를 사용하도록 주의를 기울여야 할 것이다.
