Abstract

As collaboration of research is increasing in social science, this study aims to investigate the changes in patterns of research collaboration in the field of library and information science, over the years from 2002 to 2020. The data used for this study were collected from four major journals in the field to analyze the frequency of co-authored research articles by journals and by institutions that all authors were associated with. Also, the institutions data were used to build a co-authorship network, which produced various indices including TBC (Triangle Betweenness Centrality) that showed which institutions were more central than others in the network. The result shows the number of co-authored articles were constantly increasing in all journals, and some institutions, mostly universities, showed the higher centrality scores than others and the range of collaboration were also expanded.

사회과학 분야에서도 공동 연구가 확산되고 있음에 따라 문헌정보학 분야의 공동연구 동향의 변화를 파악하기 위해 2002년부터 2020년까지 문헌정보학 분야 4개 학술지에 수록된 논문을 대상으로 학술지별 공동 연구의 빈도수와 소속기관별 빈도수를 파악하고, 공저 네트워크 분석을 통해 중심성이 높은 기관을 살펴보았다. 2,042편의 공저논문에 대하여 학술지별 공저논문의 빈도수를 파악하고, 모든 저자의 소속기관을 추출하여 공저네트워크 분석에 활용하였다. 분석 결과 모든 학술지에서 공동연구의 비율이 해마다 꾸준히 증가하였고, 공저네트워크에서 중심성 지수가 높은 기관은 대부분 대학이었으며, 협력 관계로 이어지는 기관의 범위가 점차 확대되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
