In this study, we investigated the problems of existing e-journal subscriptions caused by open access of e-journals faced by university libraries. To solve these problems, we proposed an operational model for open access based subscription. The proposed operational model, which adapts the four concepts of subscription model, system, policy, and operation interpreted according to reality, applies open access on the premise of rational subscription of electronic journals. The proposed operational model was constructed based on national support, comprehensive operation, open access based model, and cooperation system. In particular, it emphasized the need for stable and continuous access to scholarly information through national support policy. The proposed operational model can be used as a basic data for the realization and research of open access in the domestic environment.

The purpose of this study is to analyze service quality factors that affect user satisfaction of Open Access Korea(OAK) services and to draw strategic assignments for activating open access activities in Korea through a user satisfaction survey. User satisfaction indexes were developed to measure all aspects of the OAK services. The quality index, satisfaction index, and performance index were identified in this survey. According to the survey findings, the levels of social quality and social satisfaction are relatively high, this shows the positive evaluation and expectation of researchers for OAK services. However, relatively low level is identified in the area of service process quality, and many opinions about OA contents shortage in Korea represent the importance of the national level contents development strategy. Sustainable policy support, publishing of open access journals, management of institutional repository, OA governance system, expansion of researchers' participation, construction of global collaboration system are suggested as major implications to promote open access activities in Korea.

This paper strives to shed a light on open access journals as academic resources for libraries and repositories. It also seeks the measure for the evaluation of information resources. It first attempts to draw outcomes and suggestions on the basis of the issues and implications identified through analysis into aspects of management, service, and infrastructure of repositories. For this task, research methods such as interviews and on/offline literature review were employed. Specific projects were analyzed via literature and website review, although not detailed in nature. Next, the paper discusses issue such as the current quality measures of OAJ. For this, a thorough comparison on the background, outlines and characteristics of the projects and an analysis of the specifics of each project were conducted as well.

Open access movement supports the principle that the published output of scientific research should be available to everyone without charge. The term open access is used in the broad context of the wider movement. To achieve the objectives of open access to scholarly journal literature, BOAI(Budapest Open Access Initiative) recommends using two complementary strategies: 'self-archiving' in institutional/disciplinary repositories and 'open access journals.' This study introduces the strategies of open access movements and analyzes the ways to help the cause of open access by academic stakeholders(i.e., researchers, librarians, universities, publishers, foundations, learned societies, and government) from the perspective of two BOAI strategies.

It has become the heavy burden for many domestic colleges to renew the e-journal paywall licenses because major publishers keep raising license fees to access the new articles in Korea. In order to overcome these costly expenditure, the universities in US and the several governments in EU attempted the new models of open access option in the form of pilot contract with major publishers. Unlikely, there is no active discussion regarding open access options among domestic scientists, which may limit the generation of creative models in Korea. In this paper, the cases of US and EU negotiations with the Elsevier publisher were introduced and also evaluated in a qualitative manner whether any combined models could be applicable to future consideration.

Due to the advance of scholarly communication, the field of open access has been studied over the last decade. The purpose of this study is to analyze and demonstrate the field of open access via co-word analysis. The data set was collected from Web of Science citation database during the period from January 1998 to July 2012 using the Topic category. A total of 479 journal articles were retrieved and 8,643 noun keywords were extracted from the titles and abstracts. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, network analysis, clustering analysis and multidimensional scaling mapping were used to examine the domain and the sub-domains of open access field. 18 clusters in the network analysis are recognized and 4 clusters are shown in the map of multidimensional scaling. In addition, the centrality analysis in the weighted networks was used to explore the significant keywords in this field. The results of this study are expected to demonstrate and guide the intellectual structure and new approaches of open access field.

The purpose of this study was to provide suggestions for the effective management of e-journals in academic libraries. Existing literatures were reviewed, web sites were examined, and informal interviews with librarians were conducted. This study comprehensively discussed various aspects of e-journal management, including 1) user behavior, 2) selection, acquisition, and evaluation, 3) access and search, 4) user education and its promotion, 5) archiving, 6) open access, 7) collection development policy.

Open access has emerged as an alternative to overcome the crisis brought by scholarly communication on commercial publishers. The purpose of this study is to suggest the intellectual structure that reflects the newest research trend in the field of open access, to identify how the subject area is structured by using co-word analysis, and compare and analyze with the existing study. In order to do this, the total number of dataset was 761 papers collected from Web of Science during the period from January 2012 to November 2018 using information science and 2,321 keywords as a noun phase are extracted from titles and abstracts. To analyze the intellectual structure of open access, 13 topic clusters are extracted by network analysis and the keywords with higher centrallity are drawn by visualizing the intellectual relationship. In addition, after clustering analysis, the relationship was analyzed by plotting the result on the multidimensional scaling map. As a result, it is expected that our research helps the research direction of open access for the future.

피어리뷰(Peer Review)는 17세기 학술지가 만들어진 이래 오늘날까지 가장 널리 사용되는 논문의 질적인 수준과 학술지 게재 여부를 판단하는 전통적인 평가도구이다. 그러나 피어리뷰의 과정에서 발생되는 공정성 저해와 학술출판 분야에서 오픈 액세스 (OA, Open Access) 저널이 계속적으로 증가하는 디지털 미디어 시대에서 소수의 전문가가 검증하는 피어리뷰 시스템에 관한 불만들이 제기되면서 현 피어리뷰 시스템의 새로운 대안으로 오픈 피어리뷰(Open Peer Review)가 제시되기도 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 피어리뷰의 이론적 배경을 살펴보고 이를 토대로 새로운 대안으로 떠오르고 있는 오픈피어리뷰의 평가도구로써의 활용가능성에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.
