In this paper, we designed and implemented a semantic social network system in Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (abbreviated as KIOM). Our social network system provides the capabilities such as tracking search, ontology reasoning, ontology graph view, and personal information input, update and management. Tracking search provides the search results by the research information of relevant researchers using ontology, in addition to those by keywords. Ontology reasoning provides the reasoning for experts, mentors, and personal contacts. Users can easily browse the personal connections among researchers by traversing the ontology by graph viewer. These allows KIOM researchers to search other researchers who could aid the researches and to easily share their research information.

Recently, the establishment of Project Management System for National Research and Development Projects focusing on researchers has drawn sharp attention through revision of applicable laws and regulations, and presentation of national policy tasks for the management of national R&D projects, however, it is insufficient to say that a remarkable system has been established by researchers. In this study, a National Research Automated Registry Code Numbering System was suggested by using a National R&D Projects Human Resource Declaration System for Project Management System for National R&D Projects focusing on researchers. In addition, a National Research Automated Registry Code System was sought in order to realize this system. Through this suggestion, consolidation of personal information protection can be attainted through the national career management, and by raising the participation of researchers naturally, reduction in administrative affairs, simplification of accomplishments verification, and improvement in investigation, analysis and evaluation statistic quality can be expected.

This study discusses the needs and demands of researchers regarding Korean Studies resources in Australia. Research was conducted through surveys and interviews on Korean Studies researchers' research areas, ways of acquiring research resources, preferred resource format types and use of services provided by academic libraries in Australia. Accessibility was the main issue that the researchers were concerned with and the methods to facilitate easy access to Korean Studies resources at academic libraries were raised, such as the necessity for a subject librarian in Korean Studies. In addition, the study findings will help Korean Studies researchers as well as librarians at universities without Korean Studies collections to understand the current research trends in Korean Studies in Australia.

Researchers in Korea and elsewhere have carried out a wide variety of important research activities in their respective fields, producing valuable research results. For such diverse research results to be shared and exchanged among researchers working in the same discipline and research subject there needs to be a community environment based on free utilization of information. Against this backdrop, this study seeks to classify and reprocess the reference/factual content owned by the KISTI (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information), a state-run distributor of information on science and technology, by the different research subjects. It also seeks to develop and provide a community model based on the concepts of open archiving and open access for the researchers specialized in the related fields of research. This community model is developed focusing on the research results from the field of bioscience, where the most extensive studies are currently being conducted. To develop the community model, this study: (a) surveys the current status of the content owned by KISTI; (b) analyzes the patterns and characteristics of biological scientific content among the KISTI-owned content; and (c) designs a web platform where researchers can freely upload/download research results.

Objectives: This study was conducted to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practices on occupational health and the analysis factors influencing them among researchers working at corporate research centers. Methods: A total of 298 researchers working at corporate research centers participated in the study. After eliminating 12 insufficient responses, the responses of 286 participants were used for the final estimate. The questionnaire consisted of questions about general and occupational characteristics as well as knowledge, attitude, and practices on occupational health. Results: Factors influencing occupational health practices were type of business, job position, and attitude toward occupational health. Attitude toward occupational health was found to have the greatest influence. Conclusions: It is necessary to develop educational contents appropriate for each type of industry, implement educational programs for researchers working at corporate research centers, and take actions to prevent health problems among researchers through various health-care activities such as experience-based activities and discussions.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare Korean middle school-level environmental education(EE) textbooks. More specifically, these analyses and comparisons were designed to explore the extent to which environmental investigation skills were addressed in these EE textbooks (i.e., curriculum inclusion), as well as the manner in which these skills were to be taught and learned (i.e., instructional approaches). To analyze EE textbooks, the researchers developed a 'Curriculum Analysis Chart' that include six skill clusters and four instructional strategies. This analytic chart permitted the researchers to determine which skills were featured in selected textbooks, as well as which skill-oriented instructional strategies accompanied each of those skills. The chart was revised several times through pilot analyses. Using the final version of this chart, the researchers analyzed and then compared the three textbooks. This analysis indicated that the Korean middle school-level EE textbooks were designed to support conceptual learning and understanding of environment and environmental problems/issues (i.e., content-oriented), and were designed to support skill learning to a moderate degree. On the basis of textbooks analysis, the researchers offered several recommendations for future research, and for educational practices in EE.

Ultimate lateral loaded pile capacity is influenced by soil conditions. Methods of calculating ultimate lateral loaded pile capacity in homogeneous soil were suggested by a lot of previous researchers.(Broms 1964, Petrasovits & Award 1972, Prasad & Chari 1999, Zhang et al. 2005) There is only few homogeneous soil in actual condition, however, it could be not conviction that the methods from previous researchers are correct in multi-layered soil. In this study, the variation of ultimate lateral loaded pile capacity was analyzed in the various multi-layered conditions, ultimate lateral loaded pile capacity was calculated by the methods from previous researchers. For this study, the Lateral Pile Load Tests (LPLT) were performed in calibration chamber, the soil was composed by 3 layers and each layers had a various relative density. The results of LPLT were compared with calculated results from the previous researchers.

The performance of scientific researchers has been studied from a number of different aspects, mostly in developed countries. This paper attempted to identify salient factors influencing scientific performance at individual level in a developing country. A model describing the productivity and performance of scientific researchers was developed. Four hypotheses were derived from the model; i) the degree of diversity of a researcher will affect the degree of his scientific performance, ii) the degree of dedication will affect the degree of his performance, iii) the degree of research pressure will affect the degree of his performance, and iv) the degree of satisfaction will affect the degree of his performance. Data were collected through questionnaires responded by 48 researchers from two research organizations. The results of data analysis supported the hypotheses in part. Specifically, diversity measured by the number of research areas was related to the productivity of research reports (p<0.05); research pressure influenced the average number of research papers (p<0.05). The results of hypothesis testing of the satisfaction showed mixed directions according to the indicators. Even though the results of data analysis did not support the hypotheses unanimously, probably due to the limitation of sample size, most of the descriptive analysis indicated that the direction of hypotheses in developed countries seemed to be similar in developing country too. However, more research efforts are needed to verify the research findings of developed countries in developing countries.
