Research on elderly suicide has increased since 2000. It indicates that elderly suicide is receiving a great attention as a part of elderly problems, and policy efforts are needed. However, most of existing research on elderly suicide focused on factors of elderly suicide. Therefore discussion about suicidal prevention measures is staying on general and suggestive level. As a result, this study is trying to seek effective prevention strategies of elderly suicide through systematic analysis of suicidal factors and sporadic policy proposals presented in existing research. To achieve this, the relevant research papers among academic journals registered with Korea Research Foundation are analyzed. According to the results, while the ordinary elderly tended to require macro level of intervention, the potential-risky elderly were inclined to need all of micro and moderate level of prevention efforts. Above all, secondary prevention must be more emphasized in moderate level. In the future direction of research, based on prevention strategies as stated above, it is recommended to entail discussion of what kind of a specific program and policy should be invented and how it should be operated.

The Purpose of this study is to investigate the general trends of research on gifted education in Korea, by analyzing the articles published during the last thirty years. A total of 347 articles from 14 academic journals which are registered were yearly and synthetically analyzed. The articles were examined in terms of their topics, domains, and age and grade. The most widely researched topic was the cognitive characteristics of the gifted followed by curriculum and affective characteristics of the gifted. Studies on scientifically, generally and mathematically gifted students occupied 86% of total researches. Researches utilized elementary students as their subjects more than middle school or high school students. There is a lack of research on the problems that the gifted students face and on the assessment of gifted education institutes. Moreover, there is hardly any longitudinal study.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to analyze themes, concepts, research methods and results of previous domestic research on the nursing of hematologic patients conducted through the last 10 yr, to find trends in the research, and to provide basic materials for setting the direction of future research on the nursing of hematologic patients. Methods: This study analyzed a total of 72 nursing theses related to hematology sampled from domestic theses for a master's or doctoral degree and papers published in six nursing journals registered in Korea Research Foundation from January 2000 to July 2009. Results: Of the 72 theses, 51 were for a master's degree, 7 for a doctoral degree, and 14 not for an academic degree. The concept covered most frequently in correlation research was 'quality of life' and concepts found in comparative research were stress and quality of life. In experimental research, the most common nursing intervention was oral care. The scale used most frequently was Spielberger's Anxiety Scale. Conclusion: It is necessary to expand experimental research applying nursing interventions, and to use objective physiological indexes for more effective assessment in experimental research. Furthermore, interdisciplinary research is required for enhancing the quality of clinical nursing research.

The main objectives of this research are to compile all the researches published in the registered academic journals to study the trends of researches and analyze the relationships between research contents and the social factors so that the accomplishments of community related researches and future tasks can be identified. For this purpose, 97 papers published between 1973 and July 2011 were chronologically organized and analyzed in terms of research methods, main contents, and their relationship with social factors. The key findings are as follows; 1) Researches on multi-family-housing community started in 1973 mainly focusing on the social factors of neighbors in a complex; since 2000, however, the researches on physical factors were increased the most followed by psychological and social factors accordingly. 2) The research findings were not fully developed to give a guidance for appropriate space programs or an analysis of residents' preference on facilities. The cause of this shortfall is due to the fact that there was a lack of studies on residents' usage of community facilities based on quantified database. 3) More comprehensive researches should be conducted in the future for vitalizations of community through facility supply system and design guidelines, development and operation of community programs and measures to enhance community awareness targeted on public housing and more diverse types of housing being apart from typical multi-family-houisng provide by private sector.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the shortcomings and the direction of the web accessibility evaluation studies by analyzing the research trends on web accessibility evaluation in Korea. For this aim, a total of 59 theses presented in the registered academic journal and the candidate of registration academic journals from January 2000 to March 2017 were selected. The selected dissertations have been analyzed based on the evaluators, the evaluation targets, the evaluation methods, and the evaluation results with regard to web accessibility. As a result of the analysis, the highest rate in the evaluator aspect was 'independent evaluation (66 percent)' and the highest percentage in the evaluation target aspect was 'web site (83 percent)'. When it came to the evaluation methods, automatic evaluation and the mixture of automatic evaluation and manual evaluation had a similar percentage. Lastly, only two papers showed that web accessibility did not have any problems. This study is meaningful in the sense that it suggested a desirable direction for the web accessibility studies in Korea and web accessibility evaluation studies in the situation when the meta studies which analyzed research trends are insufficient.

Objective: As clinicians and patients await consensus on intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, this project evaluated contemporary research trends in the literature. Methods: A PubMed/NLM search aggregated all ovarian PRP-related publications (n=54) to evaluate their scope, abstract utility, submission-to-publication interval, journal selected, article processing charge (APC), free reader access to full-text manuscripts, number and nationality of authors, and inclusion of international collaborators. The NIH Clinical Trials database was also audited. Results: Published output on intraovarian PRP has increased consistently since 2016, especially among investigators in Greece, Iran, USA, and Turkey. Between 2013 and 2021, 42 articles met the relevancy criteria, of which 40.5% reported clinical studies, small series, or case reports, 33% described experimental animal models, and 23.8% were opinion/review papers. Only two works included a placebo control group. The submission-to-publication interval (mean±standard deviation) was 130±96 days, there were 5.9±3.2 authors per project, and journals invoiced US $1,613±1,466 (range, $0-$3,860) for APCs. Conclusion: There was no correlation between APC and time to publish (Pearson's r=-0.01). Abstract content was inconsistent; sample size and patient age were often missing, yet free full-text "open access" was available for most publications (59.5%). The NIH Clinical Trials portal lists eight registered studies on "ovarian rejuvenation," of which two are actively recruiting patients, while four have been terminated or have an uncertain status. Two studies have concluded, with results from one posted to the NIH website. PRP and its derivatives for ovarian treatment show early promise, but require further investigation. Research is accelerating and should be encouraged, particularly placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials.

The purpose of this study is to identify trends in domestic breaking research to derive characteristics and implications, and further suggest future research directions. To this end, literature analysis (the timing of paper publication, research method, research topic) and keyword analysis of 50 papers related to breaking published in academic journals registered with the Korea Research Foundation (KCI) were conducted. The research results are as follows. First, the trend by thesis publication period was first published in 2006, showed a slight increase in 2012, and then increased rapidly in 2021. Second, domestic braking-related research has been mainly focused on qualitative research (60%). Third, looking at the research topic, it is divided into three categories: identity establishment, culture and arts field, and sports field, of which studies related to identity establishment accounted for more than 60%. Finally, looking at the keywords frequently used in breaking papers, the most frequently appeared word was 'hip-hop', followed by 'culture'. Based on these results, implications were drawn to establishing the identity of braking through academic and theoretical approaches, practical approaches through the development of standardized textbooks and curriculum, strengthening the characteristics and capabilities of the field through integrated approaches, and changing to sports.

Purpose: Due to the nature of heatwave research, where research is conducted for a variety of subjects and purposes, it is important to anticipate research trends and development directions in order to improve the quality of the research. Therefore, in order to provide basic data that can suggest the current status of heatwave research and the direction of future research, we tried to examine the trends of heatwave-related research. Method: Heatwave studies published in academic journals registered with the National Research Foundation of Korea from 2011 to 2020 were analyzed by classifying them according to the research period, the purpose of the study, the research subjects and the research method. Result: The main research results are as follows. First, as interest in heatwaves increases, the number of heatwave studies also increases. Second, the purpose of heatwave research is biased and needs to be studied from various perspectives. Third, although various research subjects were used, an even study was not conducted. Fourth, under the influence of the research purpose, the bias of the research method appeared together. Conclusion: The damage caused by the heat wave is persistent and has a widespread impact. In order to manage, prevent, and respond to such heat waves as disasters, equal research should be conducted in various fields.
