Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and effects of open access conversion of journals from 7 societies that participated in the "Open Access Publication Declaration Academic Societies in the Field of Library and Information Science", and to identify problems and suggest improvement directions. To this end, the study analyzed the current status based on the elements presented in the "Roadmap for Open Access Publishing Conversion of the Library and Information Science Journals in Korea" and analyzed citation rates. The following problems were identified. First, some journals were not applying CCL or were unable to register it accurately with KJCI, and none of the 7 journals were registered with DOAJ. Second, the newly used journal platforms had not yet registered all previous issues after the conversion. Third, there was a tendency for the article processing charges to be partially increased, and there was also a tendency for editorial staff expenses to increase. Fourth, citation indexes after conversion were lower for both journals compared to the previous 4-5 years. This study proposes that joint publication of journals is necessary to solve practical problems jointly with societies while promoting economies of scale and suggests the need for further development of a roadmap.

본 연구는 '문헌정보학 분야 학술단체의 오픈액세스출판 선언'에 참여한 7개 학술지의 오픈액세스 전환 현황과 효과를 파악하여 문제점을 분석하고 개선 방향을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 '국내 문헌정보학 분야 학술지의 오픈액세스 출판 전환을 위한 로드맵'에 제시된 요소를 근거로 현황을 파악하고 2개 학술지의 인용률을 분석하였다. 드러난 문제점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일부 학술지는 CCL을 적용하지 않거나 KJCI에 이를 정확히 등록하지 못하고 있었고 7개 학술지 모두 DOAJ에 등록하지 못하고 있었다. 둘째, 전환 이후 새롭게 사용한 학술지 플랫폼에 과월호를 모두 등록하지 못한 학술지가 많았다. 셋째, 저자부담 논문출판비는 부분적으로 인상된 경향이 있고 편집간사 인건비도 인상된 경향이 있다. 넷째, 전환 이후 인용지수는 두 학술지 모두 이전 4~5년 보다 낮게 측정되었다. 본 연구는 장단기적인 실무 문제를 학회 공동으로 해결하면서 규모의 경제를 살릴 수 있도록 학술지를 공동으로 출판할 필요가 있으며 이를 위하여 또 한 번 로드맵을 개발해야한다고 제안하였다.
