  • The importance of the composition of the editorial board member is increasing as one of the measures to improve the quality of journals and to increase its international use. In this study, the composition of the Editorial Board Member (EBM) was analyzed for the journals listed in WoS and SCOPUS among domestic journals published in the field of social sciences to derive considerations to promote the internationalization of academic journals. As a result, for the internationalization of academic journals in the social science field, the composition of EBM that can promote the convergence of theory and practice, consideration of the regional aspect for the efficiency of EBM work, the composition of the EBM considering the efficiency of English-based academic communication, participation of researchers in EBM who can connect academics and the field should be considered.

  • A study of the members of the editorial boards of 16 leading LIS journals shows that the boards vary markedly in size, in diversity (in terms of both gender and nationality) and in the experience and publication/citation profiles (based on Web of Science data) of their board-members. A typical editorial board member will be male, work in the USA, have published their first LIS article in 1995, and have 9.5 publications and 39 non-self citations to those publications, with the publication/citation profiles differing significantly from those of non-board-member contributors to the 16 journals.

  • This paper examines the characteristics of the JASIST (Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology) editorial board members and their research areas through author co-citation analysis, and investigates whether the editorial board members' research areas are related with keywords frequently appeared in the journal's research articles. In the process, research areas of the central members and those appeared most frequently as keywords will be identified. Research areas of the 36 members on the JASIST editorial board are collected and categorized to compare with the categorization of keywords extracted from 169 research articles published in JASIST, 2013. The result shows that members with higher centrality in the co-citation network are related with research areas that are also dominant in the distribution of article keywords. The areas include information behavior and searching, information retrieval, information system design, and bibliometrics.
