Electronic publishing has influenced, and in some ways changed, information seeking, reading patterns and citation behaviours. This study collected the Cited Half-Lives, the indicator implies the life-span of scholarly journals, from JCR Social Science edition the before and after of the prevalence of electronic journals, and observed if there are some changes in these two periods. The analysis results of eight disciplines show that the average Cited Half-Lives increased in 2007 than in 1994 for seven disciplines except the demography. Especially in the four disciplines of economics, education, finance and sociology, the average Cited Half-Lives increased significantly. This results show that the concentration, researchers cite more recent articles and concentrate their citations on fewer ones, is lightening and the dispersion of citations is actually increasing. With the online availability of articles and journals the old online materials can be often accessed, used and cited more frequently, the more growth potential of Cited Half-Lives are made in a digital environment. Further research needs to investigate if the phenomenon will become more obvious in various disciplines after a few years.

This study investigated the intellectual structure of records management and archives field in Korea and America using author cocitation analysis. Major journals in the field from 2000 to 2004 are used to select frequent cited authors. Cocited authors are analyzed in details by means of multi-variate statistical techniques such as multidimensional scaling. To the analysis of this intellectual structure, main research topics in Korea were laws and policies related to records management and archives whereas information technology based electronic records management in America.

Although it has been a long subject of study why researchers prefer some cited documents to others, the existing relative researches have had a variety of perspectives on the nature and complexity of the citation behavior and not provided a complete answer to this question. In particular, Korea researchers mainly used statistical analysis of bibliographic information, which has limitations in revealing dynamic and complex cognitive aspects of the citation process. In this study, I investigate the citer perception of citing motives and bibliographic factors through survey and compared the responses according to the researchers' characteristics. After extracting the 22 motivations and 21 factors through the literature analysis and configuring a 5-point Likert scale questions, I conducted a survey in the wat of an e-mail attachment. From the SPSS 22.0, the frequency analysis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed on the 354 valid samples. As a result, it is found that supporting is considered the most important citing motive and social connection, self-citation have little influence. In the case of bibliographic factors, the journal's reputation was recognized the most influential factor and the number of pages and authors was the least. Significant differences in fields of study and research careers were showed in some parts. These results can substantiate earlier studies, determine whether the factors assumed influential in selecting references were intended, and suggest the search point to the specialty library or academic database.

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of citation patterns between journals and conferences using bibliometric and social network analysis on references from the 'Journal of the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (JKIISC)'. The results indicate that conference references slightly exceed journal references, with around 80% being international publications, highlighting Korean researchers' high dependency on overseas publications. Analysis of citation age shows trends of increasing immediacy citation rate, lengthening citing half-life, and shortening peak time, with domestic publications having higher immediacy citation rate and international publications having slower citing half-life. Mapping SCOPUS journals and ICORE conferences revealed that journal citations mainly come from 'Computer science' (32.3%), 'Engineering' (23.5%), 'Mathematics' (16.7%), and 'Social Cciences' (12.8%), along with other research fields (25.6%), while conference citations are predominantly in 'Cybersecurity and Privacy' with recent increases in 'Computer Vision and Multimedia Computation' and 'Machine Learning'. Co-citation network analysis shows higher degree centrality for conference groups and international publications. The co-citation frequency between different types of literature was highest between journals and conferences (36.9%), compared to within journals (34.3%) or within conferences (28.8%). Lastly, network visualization maps are presented to explore the structural connections among co-cited publications and their research fields. The results of this study suggest that the field of information security research in Korea effectively balances the use of journal and conference literature, indicating that the field is developing through a complementary relationship between these sources.

The purpose of this study is to analysis the type of cited materials, dependence ratio of foreign information of domestic researchers, and to predicts half-life of life science for the collection development of libraries and user friendly information services. The journal articles was extracted from five subjects-medical science, pharmacy, food science, agricultural science, microbiology. In result, it was found that it citing the scholarly journal most plentifully, and dependence ratio of foreign information of domestic researchers was high most the microbiology. And then, half-life of life science was found 8.98 in agricultural science, and 7.11 in food science, and 6.96 in pharmacy, and so on.

The purpose of this study is to examine the data coverage and citation threshold for analyzing SPLC(Search Path Link Count) as a main path of a historiograph of a certain topic in order to provide 'core' papers of global research trends to a researcher affiliated with a local R&D institution. 5 datasets were constructed by retrieving and collecting 2,318 articles on RGB LED on Web of Science published from 1990-2013 and 20,109 articles which cited these original 2,318. The SPLC analysis was performed on each dataset by increasing the threshold of citation counts, and the changes and resilience of the 28 extraced networks were compared. The results of user feedback on 198 unique core papers from 28 SPLC networks received from LED researchers affiliated with a Korean government-sponsored research institution were also analyzed. As a result, it is found that the nodes in each SPLC network in each dataset were differentiated by the citation counts, while the changes in the structure of SPLC networks were slight after the networks' citation counts were set at 40. Additionally, the user feedback showed that personalized research interest generally matched to the global research trends identified by the SPLC analysis.

It is meaningful to develop the scholarly digital archives in a respect that it could preserve the research papers using digital media. The scholarly digital archives provide scientists with the information source with which scientists could actively accomplish research. This study measured based on the citation analysis to what extent PMC, which is life science scholarly digital archives, has an effect on the scholarly communication in the same subject field. The findings are as follows. First, the three citation indicators, impact factor, immediacy index, and half-life, have no remarkable difference in between pre and post-digital archives era. Second, there were more cases that the major citation indicators increased rather than ones decreased with the appearance of the scholarly digital archives, as a result of ranking the scholarly journals after classifying according to subjects.

The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in national R&D research outcomes in science and technology according to gender. For this purpose, the analysis was conducted by mapping WoS SCI(E) papers from 1990to 2018 and NTIS R&D papers from 2007 t0 2016. As a result of examining the differences in research achievements in science and technology according to gender based on three bibliometic indicators - average Times cited, Time-lag, and Impact factor - we found that the overall topography of research achievement was still male-centered, and the differences in the main research area between male and female were also very prominent. On the other hand, in top 10 research areas, it was confirmed that female researchers' outcomes were higher in the number of Times cited and Impact factor.

This study aims to analyze and compare centrality and brokerage measures of journal citation network focusing on textmining research. The analytic sample was 193 academic articles collected from 136 KCI journals published in 2018. The journal citation network was constructed based on citation relations. The characteristics, centralities, and brokerages of network was analyzed. The journal citation network consisted 136 nodes and 413 links with directed and weight. According to the five types of centrality(out-degree, in-degree, out-closeness, in-closeness, betweenness), journals of social sciences, engineering, and interdisciplinary research showed higher centrality. Social sciences, engineering and interdisciplinary research journals also showed higher brokerages as a result of brokerage analysis which identify five types of brokerage roles(coordinator, gatekeeper, representative, consultant, liaison). The centralities and brokerages of journals are positively correlated. This study suggested how to construct journal citation network from the articles focusing on certain topics. This was meaningful study in terms of conducting brokerage analysis and comparing it with centrality in the journal citation network.
