Recent international and national research trends in landslide hazards were analyzed by performing a literature search of relevant scientific journals. For obtaining data from Korea, we used 'Information for Environmental Geology' (IEG), which covers 17 journals in the field of environmental geology. A total of 54 articles related to landslide hazards were found in 5 journals published in the period 2000-2012. The most common topic was landslide prediction or susceptibility (29 articles), followed by landslide mechanisms. For international information, we analyzed 1,851 articles from the 'Web Of Science' published from 2003 to the present. Researchers in Italy have published the greatest number of papers in this field, while papers from Korea rank first in terms of the citation index.

Analysis of foreign and domestic patents for pyroprocessing technology of spent nuclear fuels was carried out in this study. The current status of pyroprocessing technology development in such countries as Korea, USA, Japan and EU was analyzed by classifying the patents for 1975 through 2009 according to registration country, assignee, calendar year and technology area. The major assignees' activity indices were compared in order to find out whether there is any concentrated area of technical details. Technology competitiveness of the countries was also investigated from the information of patent citation number and family size. Furthermore, some essential unit technologies required for the commercialization of pyroprocessing were derived and examined in the aspect of the state of art as well as the trend of technology development.

Objectives : This systematic review aims to assess the effectiveness of thread embedding therapy on animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. Methods : Search was conducted in the Cochrane library, MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan-Fang Database, Technology Journal Database, the Korean Studies Information Service System, the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, the Research Information Sharing Service, the National Digital Science Library, the Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal and the Korea Citation Index. Data were extracted concerning animal model, intervention and rheumatoid arthritis indicator by two independent reviewers. Reporting quality was also evaluated by the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) guidelines 2.0. Results : One thousand thirty six studies were primarily selected. After screening, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria. 1 study was published 2005, 1 study was published 2010, 1 study was published 2012, 1 study was published 2015, 2 studies were published 2016, 3 studies were published 2017, 1 study was published 2018. The most frequently used acupoints were ST36 and BL23, and were used with an average frequency of 11.8 days. All of these thread embedding therapy studies were effective on behavioral, morphological, immunohistological and hematological indicators to treat of rheumatoid arthritis model. Conclusions : These results demonstrated the effectiveness of thread embedding therapy and suggested the putative mechanism. However, considering the small number of included studies, low reporting quality and differences in study design, further studies with rigorous designs and high reporting quality need to be conducted.

The history of the APOCP/APJCP goes back to 1999 when a number of interested scientists joined together to form the organization and to launch a new journal to support cancer prevention research in the Asian-Pacific area. Since the initial Founding Conference, some six General Assemblies (GAs) and ten Regional Conferences (RCs) and Special Study Sessions have been organized. Already the decisions have been made for two further GAs and at least three RCs. As of the April issue of 2013, a total of nearly 3,700 papers have already been published in regular issues of the APJCP or special supplements. With support of the Korean National Cancer Center, housing the Chief Editorial Office, the journal is now including approximately 100 papers a month. Although it experienced a set-back by reduction in the Impact Factor (IF) from 1.29 in 2010 to 0.67 in 2011, there are good grounds to expect an improvement in 2012. However, the future of the APOCP/APJCP will continue to depend on its membership, making continuous efforts to attend our conferences and submit good quality manuscripts. It is particularly important to cite papers in the APJCP wherever possible, if the wish is for an IF commensurate with our long term aims. In that sense it is up to all authors, since the journal will continue to have a very positive ploicy towards accepting papers from all countries within the Asian-Pacific, with continue to varied levels of resources. The editorial team looks forward to your considered support. The APOCP also hopes to see you in person at future meeetings, so that you have a more active voice in deciding the best way forward in our cooperative enterprise.

With the advanced learning and the diversity of topics, researchers on each area keenly feel the need of precise and a quick discovery of required information at any time. This study presents a way of constructing the automatic mapping system that can compare and analyze duplicated data and that describes the result by building an effective reference extraction method and another way of correcting the wrong form of used Chinese characters with Traditional Korean Medicine dictionary. With this innovation, data duplication on references and Chinese characters errors can be fixed. Under the situation that a number of references of newly published papers that can continuously be extracted.

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.

This study aims to analyze the research trend of Korean medicine based on social network analysis. To do this, a dataset has been collected from KCI (Korea Citation Index) database. According to the results, we have identify the longitudinal trend of the number of papers, journals, organizations and key words in this field. Moreover, based on the nodes' centrality of co-author network, we have found a core journal (i.e. Korean Journal of Oriental Physiology and Pathology), a hub institution (i.e. Kyunghee university) and two main key words (i.e. anti-oxidation and acupuncture) in the research network. In conclusion, integrating field experts' tacit knowledge in Korean medicine studies with the results of the explicit social network analysis on the research trend, we put forward further policy implications with regard to R&D strategies in this field.

Many publishers tried flipping, or extensively changed their journals flipped. They considered that converting an established journal into OA journal is more attractive than launching an entirely new OA journal. After conducting a careful literature review, this study provided the background and current situations on flipping. There are flipped OA journals alive published by commercial publisher, society, university, and institute in the field of science and medicine. This study found the increased number of published articles after flipping, with 69% of 97 flipped OA journals in 2015 having impact factors. Also 92% of the journals experienced rising in ranking of impart factor, or achieved it for the first time. It was suggested that the roles of academic society, funding agencies, and universities when it comes to active flipping.

An objective expert discrimination scheme is needed for finding researchers who have insight and knowledge about a particular field of research. There are two types of expert discrimination schemes such as a citation graph based method and a formula based method. In this paper, we propose an efficient expert discrimination scheme considering various characteristics that have not been considered in the existing formula based methods. In order to discriminate the expertise of researchers, we present six expertise indices such as quality, productivity, contributiveness, recentness, accuracy, and durability. We also consider the number of social citations to apply the characteristics of academic search sites. Finally, we conduct various experiments to prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed scheme.

This study aims to investigate the research trends of disaster in Korea through a bibliometric analysis. To do that, it analyzed 772 scholarly articles published from 2002 to 2016, retrieved from KCI (Korean Citation Index) database. For analysis, discipline profiling analysis, journal profiling analysis, and co-word analysis methods were used. The study found that the number of scholarly articles on disaster has increased, especially after Sewol ferry disaster occurred in 2004. The major discipline areas were identified as 'policy sciences/public administration' area, 'engineering' area, 'GIS/telecommunication' area, and 'medical/humanities/social sciences' area. In terms of time series, the proportion of scholarly articles published in 'policy sciences/public administration' area has decreased since 2014 and at the same time, discipline areas have been diversified including law, medical, and journalism.
