Abstract

This study was carried out to confirm a convergent research pattern and researchers' role in stem cell sector by social network analysis. Articles were extracted from 1996 to 2012 in PubMed, 515 authors of 270 embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell articles and 1,515 authors of 580 adult stem cell and mesenchymal stem cell articles. Degree(D) and betweenness(B) centrality was measured and co-author network was generated for researcher's role. As a result, Core researcher and Intermediary researcher was identified in co-author network. Core researcher had high D. centrality, otherwise high B. centrality or not. Intermediary researcher for convergent research had high B. centrality and low D. centrality. Conclusively, co-author network will be used as objective data not only to find core researchers in subject area for improving achievement but also to select experts for research project evaluation.

본 연구는 줄기세포분야의 융합연구 형태와 각 영역별 연구자의 역할을 확인하기 위해 사회네트워크분석을 수행하였다. 자료는 PubMed 데이터베이스에서 1996년부터 2012년까지 만능유도줄기세포와 배아줄기세포를 주제로 발표된 270편의 논문과 성체줄기세포와 중간엽줄기세포 영역의 580편 논문을 추출하였다. 각 영역의 논문에서 공저자 515명과 1,515명을 추출하여 분석하였다. 분석 방법은 사회네트워크분석으로 연결정도중심성, 매개중심성을 확인하고 공저자 네트워크를 구현한 후 연구자의 역할을 확인하였다. 분석결과 공저자 네트워크 상 성과가 높은 핵심 연구자와 중개 연구자를 확인할 수 있었다. 핵심 연구자는 연결정도중심성은 높지만 매개중심성이 높지 않을 수 있으며, 연결정도중심성은 낮으나 매개중심성이 높아 연구자를 연결시키는 중개 연구자를 확인하였다. 공저자 네트워크분석은 분야별 핵심 연구자를 찾아 공동연구를 수행하여 성과를 향상시키고, 연구개발과제 심사를 위한 분야별 전문가 추천을 위한 객관적 자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다.
