The aim of this study was to analyze the research trends in articles published in the Korean Journal of Medical Education (KJME) and Korean Medical Education Review (KMER) using keyword network analysis. The analyses included 507 papers from 2010 to 2019 published in KJME and KMER. First, keyword frequency analysis showed that the research topics that appeared in both journals were "medical student," "curriculum," "clinical clerkship," and "undergraduate medical education." Second, centrality analysis of a network map of the keywords identified "curriculum" and "medical student" as highly important research topics in both journals. Third, a cluster analysis of 20 core keywords in KMER identified research clusters related to academic motivation, achievement, educational measurement, medical competence, and clinical practice (centered on "learning," while in KJME, clusters were related to educational method and program evaluation, medical competence, and clinical practice (centered on "teaching"). In conclusion, future medical education research needs to expand to encompass other research areas, such as educational methods, student evaluations, the educational environment, student counseling, and curriculum.

Journals are the main indicator to evaluate the level of the studies of a country. The main purpose of this study is to suggest the improvements of the current journal evaluation system to enhance the level of journal quality. To accomplish the above purpose, the 631 researchers are surveyed by internet for their recognition. The major findings are as follows. Firstly, the current registration process need to be maintained, however, need to reinforce the conditions to level up the journal level and to extend the term for keeping the rate. Secondly, the professionalism and credibility of the appraisers need to be reinforced to increase the equity and rationality of the current evaluation system. Thirdly, the evaluation process for the newly entering journal need to be more strict than the current system. Fourthly, the Korean citation index or Kor-Factor need to be applied to evaluate the domestic journals. Lastly, the restriction policy is need to constrain the number of journals.

Background : It was not enough to apply three kinds of syndrome differentiation in our oriental medical textbook to tremor's treatment according to reports of Korea and traditional medical textbook of China. Objective : To investigate syndrome differentiations by types of diseases related to tremor through Chinese journals review and to suggest adding possible syndrome differentiations. Methods : Literature search was performed using China Academic Journal (CAJ), the search engine of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from January 1994 to December 2009. Searching key words were Chinese characters in combination meaning tremor, paralysis agitans, and syndrome differentiation. We included all types of articles that explained or referred to definite syndrome differentiations. The symptoms and oriental medications by syndrome differentiation in selected articles were extracted and summarized. Results : 56 Chinese journals were ultimately selected. 37 kinds of syndrome differentiations about tremor were investigated, which included dual deficiency of qi and blood (氣血兩虛) quoted 31 times, liver-kidney yin deficiency (肝腎陰虧) 23 times, liver-kidney deficiency (肝腎不足) 21 times, and phlegm-heat stirring wind (痰熱動風) 20 times. 37 kinds of syndrome differentiation could by group into eight types, such as liver-kidney yin deficiency (肝腎陰虧), dual deficiency of qi and blood (氣血兩虛), phlegm-heat stirring wind (痰熱動風), heart deficiency and spirit weakness (心虛神弱), blood stasis due to qi stagnation (氣滯血瘀), sea of marrow deficiency (髓海不足), liver qi depression (肝氣鬱結), and liver yang transforming into wind (肝陽化風). Conclusion : We suggest that the syndrome differentiations of tremor, such as heart deficiency and spirit weakness (心虛神弱), blood stasis due to qi stagnation (氣滯血瘀), sea of marrow deficiency (髓海不足), liver qi depression (肝氣鬱結), and liver yang transforming into wind (肝陽化風), can be added to liver-kidney deficiency (肝腎不足), dual deficiency of qi and blood (氣血兩虛), and phlegm-heat stirring wind (痰熱動風) of the textbook. Further systematic research will be needed on them.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the domestic trends of Chuna treatments techniques in Korean literature. Methods: We searched the clinical trials on Chuna treatments through both electronic search(used keyword 'chuna') and hand search in 3 Korean web databases(OASIS, NDSL, RISS) and 4 related journals(The Journal of Korea CHUNA Manual Medicine for Spine & Nerves, Journal of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, The Journal of Korean Acupuncture & Moxibustion Society, Journal of Korean Medicine Society). All relevant clinical trials were selected and extracted to be analyzed according to their published year, journals, types of study, used techniques. Results: The number of the clinical studies tends to increase every year. The studies on Chuna treatments were mainly published in The Journal of Korea Chuna Manual Medicine for Spine & Nerves. In case of types of study, case reports and case series were predominant. The most frequently adopted techniques of Chuna in studies were flexion distraction technique for lumbar spine and JS supine position cervical spine distraction. Conclusions: Through the results of this study, we hope that the more qualitative education could be conducted by strengthening the techniques which often used. Also analysis of the reason of rarely used techniques should be conducted and the modification or developing techinques should be followed as a counter measures. As applying more rigorous methodology, more qualitative evidence based Chuna studies should be conducted in future clinical research.

We analyzed the published articles of IS researchers in South Korea between 2007 and 2009 using scientometric techniques for measuring research productivity. The findings of this study provide evidences that IS research productivity has become a comprehensive information to business tool to assist advertizing of electing student of IS department and university, and take a person into IS professor in the IS job market. IS productivity research on Korean IS researcher rarely showed. The unique study showed valuable contributions for academicians to provide a better comprehension of publishing trend of leading IS journals.

The purpose of this study is to future research directions for the e-logistics area in Korea. To this end this study collected journal papers published in the five Korean academic journals for the last 15 years. The contents analysis of the collected papers includes research topic, research strategies and methods used in the studies. The analysis suggests the four trends: First, management of E-logistics has been more actively studied than other topics; second, "E-commerce research journal" has published E-logistics related studies more than other journals; third, empirical research paradigm is dominant in this research area; last, questionnaire survey is a method most frequently used in this area. E-logistics research is attracting researchers' attention but more efforts are needed to diversify research topics and methods.

This study aims to identify the academic landscape of the field of Library and Information Science by analyzing the research areas of the four major domestic journals using structural topic modeling and network analysis. The results show that each journal focuses on different research areas. The Journal of the Korean Society for Library and Information Science covers the most comprehensive range of research areas in the field, while the Journal of the Korean Biblia Society for Library and Information Science shows a similar research trend but with a higher preference for research areas related to library management and library programs. The Journal of Korean Library and Information Science Society deals more with topics related to school libraries and reading education and the Journal of the Korean Society for Information Management focuses more on information technology and information science. This study is able to provide valuable foundational data for researchers in submitting their papers and for the topical specialization and diversification of the journals in the field of Library and Information Science.
