This study attempted to explore the characteristics of knowledge communication and investigate important research topics and key authors by analyzing major academic papers in the field of LIS in Korea for five years from 2018 to 2022. The research method collected and analyzed papers published for five years in four key journals in the field of domestic Library and Information Science from the Korean Citation Index (KCI) database. The paper was selected to extract the author data of the paper and the data of the reference, and network visualization was performed by conducting literature co-citation analysis and author co-citation analysis using Netminer. As a result of the analysis, it was possible to derive a pair of co-citations between authors, and it was confirmed that it is important to include multiple authors in the intellectual structure analysis in the academic field through co-citation frequency analysis among researchers. The literature confirmed the correlation between the topics of the paper, and it was found that research related to Library and Information Science was centered on the topics of library, digital, user, service, and data.

Augmented reality (AR) is considered to be an excellent user interface to a 3D information space embedded within physical reality. For this reason, it has been applied to various applications such as design, medical service, interaction, and collaboration. However, there is no formal way of analyzing the research trend and evolution of augmented reality. This paper identifies the research trend and change in augmented reality (AR) via co-citation analysis. The co-citation analysis provides how the AR research has evolved, who are main contributors, and which papers suggest essential and influencing impact. To systematically analyze the cocitation, we have retrieved 1,145 papers from the Web of Science and applied a scientomertric analysis using CiteSpace. Based on the co-citation analysis of authors and documents, it is possible to analyze the evolution of augmented reality, key authors and papers, and breakthroughs. We have also compared the proposed approach with survey papers written by experts so that the result of the co-citation analysis can compromise the qualitative result done by experts, and thus it can provide a different view and insight for visualizing the research on augmented reality.

The purposes of this study were to identify core journals for pharmaceutical researches in Korea and to examine the research domains of Korean pharmaceutical researchers. Journal citation frequency analysis and journal co-citation analysis were performed on the research papers of Korean pharmaceutical researchers. Korean researchers' citation data were gathered from SCOPUS for foreign journals and KSCD for domestic journals. 116 core journals were identified through citation frequency analysis and journal relationships were suggested as a pathfinder network of journals. Factor analysis on journal correlation matrix resulted in 18 subject domains and related journal lists were also given.

Purpose This study intended to introduce new approaches to identify the intellectual structure of supply chain management(SCM) researches, which combines author co-citation analysis(ACA) and social network analysis(SNA). Design/methodology/approach We searched RISS(www.riss.kr) and NDSL(www.ndsl.or.kr) database and collected 292 academic papers on supply chain management between 2001 and 2011. Among 9,637 references of these papers, we analyzed 1,848 references that were published by domestic authors. We produced a correlation matrix of 32 author co-citation matrix and conducted multi-variate statistical analysis such as factor analysis. We also performed social network analysis to identify the main researchers in SCM. Findings We found four main sub-areas of supply chain management research: SCM adoption factors, logistics, SCM performance, and SCM structure. We could present the authors who played important roles within the network by using SNA indicators. The finding of this research also suggests more collaborations among domestic researchers are required to overcome the low co-citation rates among domestic authors.

Author co-citation analysis(ACA) technique has been widely used for identifying research areas and trends in a discipline. But this technique has some limitations, mainly due to citation delay, on analyzing current trends and identifying active researchers. In this study, a new method, named as Bibliographic Author Coupling Analysis (BACA), is suggested for overcoming those limitations of author co-citation analysis. BACA is based on Kessler's bibliographic coupling approach and focuses not on documents but on authors. Simply stated, BACA technique assumes that those likewise citing authors have the same research interests. For the purpose of comparing with author co-citation analysis, two preceding studies with author co-citation analysis are reconsidered and re-examined using BACA. The comparing results can be regarded as promising the usefulness of BACA in analyzing current research trends and identifying active researchers.

This study investigated the intellectual structure of Korean library and information science and its change in the 1990s using author co-citation analysis. The citation data came from in 3 journals in the field of library and information science from 1990 through 1999, and 50 authors were selected and analyzed in detail by means of multi-variate statistical techniques such as multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis, factor analysis and crosstab analysis in order to excess the intellectual structure of discipline and its changing research patterns.

Recently, deep learning has been rapidly spreading as an innovative machine learning technique in various domains. This study explored the research trends of deep learning via modified ego centered topic citation analysis. To do that, a few seed documents were selected from among the retrieved documents with the keyword 'deep learning' from Web of Science, and the related documents were obtained through citation relations. Those papers citing seed documents were set as ego documents reflecting current research in the field of deep learning. Preliminary studies cited frequently in the ego documents were set as the citation identity documents that represents the specific themes in the field of deep learning. For ego documents which are the result of current research activities, some quantitative analysis methods including co-authorship network analysis were performed to identify major countries and research institutes. For the citation identity documents, co-citation analysis was conducted, and key literatures and key research themes were identified by investigating the citation image keywords, which are major keywords those citing the citation identity document clusters. Finally, we proposed and measured the citation growth index which reflects the growth trend of the citation influence on a specific topic, and showed the changes in the leading research themes in the field of deep learning.

The study investigated the intellectual structure of the library and information science field by journal co-citation analysis on thirty LIS journals with high journal impact factors. Patterns of journal-to-journal citation show the structure of journals in the field, visualized by a networked map of the journals. The result shows journals that can be considered as the core group and as the peripheral group, which corresponds to other studies for investigating the field's intellectual structure using other techniques, such as cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling.

This study compared Author Profiling Analysis(APA) to Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA). The former is a new analytic technique on the intellectual structure of a science whereas the latter is a traditional analytic technique. The purpose of this study was to propose appropriate methods to analyze intellectual structure of a science in the Korean research environment. In order to achieve the goal, this study adopted APA using Text Mining for analysis on the intellectual structure of a science rather than relying on citation index in order to determine a potential utility of the new analytic technique that can identify the intellectual structure.
