This paper examined the effect of innovation networks comprising research and development (R&D) collaboration on innovation performance of Korean pharmaceutical firms. As co-assigned patents and co-affiliated publications are common technical outcomes of successful R&D collaboration in the pharmaceutical industry, social network analysis technique was applied for analyzing innovation networks through patent and publication data. Results of Social network analysis indicated that a small set of highly innovative firms in the Korean pharmaceutical industry were actively involved in patenting and publishing. And the analysis of structural equation model found the followings: (1) R&D intensity significantly affected patenting, publication and new drug development, (2) the activity of patenting and publishing was positively related with the innovation performance measured by new drug development, and (3) R&D collaboration in terms of degree centrality of co-patent network played significant moderating roles on the relationships among R&D intensity, patenting, and new drug development. These findings are expected to be helpful to researchers as well as policy-makers to devise innovation-promoting policies in the Korean pharmaceutical industry. Discussions and limitations of the study are provided in the last part.

This study examined two characteristics of library and information science (LIS) journals in Korea through analysis of journal coupling with common authors. This study also illustrated the trend of Korean LIS research in the recent decade. The notable change is that record management and archival studies settle in LIS domain as a major research area. We introduced two indicators, Publishing Preference Index (PPI) and Researcher Attraction Index (RAI), based on the degree of common authors among journals. Both indicators revealed notable changes in author coupling, including reversal of PPIs in some journals, which can be interpreted as proof of changes in their author groups. The RAI analysis, which measured the degree of journals' attractiveness to Korean LIS researchers and author sharing between two journals, illustrated the journals' states in a domain; this result can help find both an isolated journal and strongly bonded journals in the specific domain. Journal coupling with common authors introduced in this study proved to be an effective investigative method for illustrating journals' states in a specified domain as well as a multidisciplinary area.

JCR's categorization significantly impacts the evaluation of research achievements in the field, particularly in information science and library science (IS & LS). Publishing in prestigious IS & LS journals often leads to lower evaluations due to their lower impact factor rankings. In contrast, publishing in higher-ranked Management Information Systems (MIS) journals classified under the IS & LS category is evaluated more favorably. Accordingly, this study analyzed the intersection of Library and Information Science (LIS) and MIS through an analysis of journal authors. This analysis was based on previous research that identified detailed subject areas of academic journals categorized under the IS & LS category in the JCR. As a result of the analysis, the intersection between the subfields of LIS and MIS was not substantial, and the strength of the connection was weak. Additionally, approximately 55% of universities in Seoul with LIS departments use JCR's journal rankings by subject category to assess research achievements. The findings suggest that JCR's subject category classification may negatively influence researchers' evaluations and potentially distort the academic publishing landscape. In the future, the issues with research achievement evaluation standards will need to be supplemented and improved. The results of this study are expected to serve as valuable fundamental data for policy improvement.

The dominant model of acquiring scholarly contents at academic libraries is so called big deal where libraries subscribe to a bundle of hundreds, if not thousands of journals in a multi-year contract with fixed annual rate increase. The bid deal, started in the mid-1990s, offered a number of advantages for academic libraries and their users. However, escalating prices for these packages have become a serious issue casting doubts about the sustainability of the subscription-based model. At the moment, it appears there is no viable alternative other than pay-per-view method that is being tested at some libraries. Libraries' budget situation will remain a key factor that might change the situation. Open access started in the 2000s as a vehicle to eliminate barriers to publishing and distributing peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles. Open access publishing is witnessing two-digit growth annually. Open access articles now occupy close to 20% of two major citation databases: Scopus and Web of Science. Google Scholar service, debuted in late 2004, is now a popular tool for discovering and accessing scholarly articles from a vast selection of journals around the world. There is a call for taking Google Scholar seriously as a potential replacement of library databases amid concerns regarding the quality of journals indexed, limited search capabilities vis-$\grave{a}$-vis library databases, and monopoly of public goods. Escalating budget problems, rapid growth of open access publishing and the emergence of powerful free tool, such as Google Scholar, need to be taken seriously as these forces might bring disruptive changes to the existing subscription-based model of scholarly contents at academic libraries.

This study aims to identify the methods of implementation for the 'National Research Foundation of Korea Open Access 2021(Plan)'. This study covers the methods of implementation in the three following core items: 1) developing the details on the amount, method, and procedures of APC support; 2) proposing methods for facilitating the transition of domestic Korean academic journals to open access journals; and 3) developing methods of entrusting papers to open access repositories. APC support should be guaranteed at a reasonable level. The average or median of APC values for the previous three years will be applied to set the upper limit for support each year. APC support will be provided when the paper is published to open access journals or transitioning journals to open access. Hybrid journals or dual access journals are not included. Support for open access publishing of academic journals in Korea during the transition period will be available for open access journals that have registered for CCL in KJCI or journals that have submitted their application for transitioning to open access. Publishing in hybrid, dual access or subscription-based journals must be accompanied by items related to copyright such as embargo. Research results will be used for the detailed implementation plan of 'NRF OA2021 (Plan)'. They will serve as the base data for the rapid, stable, and sustainable implementation of open access policy in NRF, addressing the Korean domestic academic journal publishing environment and the field of international academic communication.

The importance of universities' knowledge to industrial innovation have widely pervaded the academia as well as policy communities. During the last three decades, a series of policy measures vitalizing the knowledge-transfer activities of academics have been implemented both in industrialized and industrializing countries. However, The concerns on the industry's influences on the academia have been raised by a group of researchers such as 'Economics of science'. Against this background, this paper addresses the issues related to the relationship between the academic research and knowledge-transfer activities. Particularly, based on the 16 years' panel data of Korean academics' patent and paper outputs, the effect of patenting activities on publishing activities is investigated. Moreover, the specific context of Korean academic system as well as general characteristics of academics are considered in the analysis and discussion. According to the results, not just the publishing and patenting outputs but their productivities have been dramatically increased during the last 16 years. The main finding is that the patenting activities have a consistent positive effect on the publishing activities of the academics in the estimations of panel models. Based on these results and the discussions, some policy recommendations for university-industry collaboration are suggested.
