In this paper, a ontology-based keyword structuring method is proposed to represent the knowledge structure of scholarly documents and to make inferences from the semantic relationships holding among them. The characteristics of thesaurus as a knowledge organization system(KOS) for subject heading is critically reviewed from the information retrieval point of view. The domain concepts are identified and classified by analysis of the information activities occurring in a general research process based on scholarly sensemaking model. The ontological structure of keyword set is defined in terms of the semantic relationship of the canonical concepts which constitute scholarly documents such as journal articles. As a result, each ontologically structured keyword set of a document represents the knowledge structure of the corresponding document as semantic index. By means of the axioms and inference rules defined for information needs, users can efficiently explore the scholarly communication network built on the semantic relationship among documents in an analytic way based on the scholarly sensemaking model in oder to efficiently retrieve the relevant information for problem solving.

Digitalized data and literature in scholarly community has developed the concept of digital humanities and cyberscholarship which indicate the characteristics of a new aspect and approach in scholarly activities with digitalized resources or new media. This study was performed in order to identify the changes in national research activities of art and humanities by using a multi-modal approach. The combined methodology of in-depth interview and content analysis on publishing and citing behaviors in literature was executed. The steps of research process is identified as a non-linear combination of 3 parts: developing research idea, developing the research idea to write, and submitting manuscript to publish. Prominent implementations of cyberscholarship were found in the 2nd step for accessing and using research data and literatures. Understanding the characteristics of scholar communication using cyberscholarhip factors in humanities for interdisciplinarity, sophisticating the environment of cyberscholarhip for data sharing, investing and developing archivist and archives, and providing a various platform for accelerating scholarly communication were derived by the panel discussion for developing interdisciplinary research for humanities.

In an academic ecosystem evolving into open science, open peer review is gaining attention as a way to enhance transparency and openness in scholarly communication. This study examines the adoption of open peer review components in 118 open access journals that have implemented open peer review, and their characteristics by publisher type, country/continent, language, and discipline. Open peer review has been implemented in a variety of ways, including making review reports or pre-prints publicly available or disclosing the identities of authors and reviewers to each other. We also found differences in the components adopted across disciplines. It appears that commercial publishers, which account for a large proportion of publisher types, have generally adopted it, and it is mainly published in English in European countries. By discipline, we find more open peer review in the medical and natural sciences, which traditionally aim for open scholarly communication and fewer journals in the multidisciplinary and humanities. This provides insights into the adoption of open peer review by journals, as well as a better understanding of the characteristics of the academic community in terms of their adoption of open peer review.

In order to design a web-based English Article Submission & Management System for science and technology research papers, Elsevier Editorial System and KISTI-ACOMS, international and domestic models--respectively--are studied and analysed. Through this analysis, a web-based paper submission and review system which can be applied to Ocean Science Journal, a research journal in the field of Oceanography, is developed. The web-based system is not only able to solve problems such as complex manuscript management, delays in the reviewing process, and loss of manuscripts that occur often in off-line paper review processes, but also is able to construct the basis for e-journal electronic publication. As a result, an effective and rapid scholarly communication environment can be made. The development and utilization of this system can improve the reputation and the globalization of science and technology research journals.

This paper surveyed the development and future of electronic journals. The growing and impact of electronic publishing, developments and access of electronic journals, and the future of electronic journals were examined in detail, and remaining problems were analyzed. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows : 1. The future of electronic journals is not an issue of technology it is an issue of economics and social policy. And, the cost of delivering an electronic version to end-users were more expensive. 2. More sophisticated markup software and display software system are needed for fully structured text versions of articles. 3. Coordination of effort is essential in order that we maximize the end-users access requirements against resonable protection for the intellecture effort of the scholarly writer. 4. The success of an electronic journals will depend on the improved communication and cooperation between libraries, users, author, publishers, and information technology specialists. The advent of electronic information delivery has brought with it these issues to be solved. And development in the delivery of scholarly information by electronic means will accelerate.

The University Press, as a publishing division of the university, is a high quality and low cost scholarly communication system. In contrast to European and American university presses, Korean university presses publish very small amount of books. So the author took a case study of the Pusan National University Press(PNUP). She interviewed with faculty who had published or were going to publish. And then she analyzed why or why not the faculty at the Pusan National University selected PNUP as a publisher. On the basis Of the results, she identified problems of the PNUP and she made an activating program that can be a n.0, pplied to most of Korean university presses. This program involved setting up the mission of the press; a n.0, ppointing a professional to the staff and establishing a fund; encouraging high quality scholarly publishing, refined bookmaking and positive marketing; and increasing the expense of the library and improving community su n.0, pport of the university press.

Although an academic journal has had an important role in the diffusion of knowledge and the confirmation of knowledge advancement, it has revealed several difficulties : long processing time for publishing, uni - directional communication, closed review process etc. But an electronic journal (E-Journal) can solve these problems and add several new advantages such as the multimedia expression of documents, and pre and post publication review. Moreover, it should be noted that an E-Journal is not an alternative medium which simply replaces an existing journal, but a new paradigm for scholarly communication. Although this paper reviews several issues related to E-Journal, the introduction of the concept of universal service and informal document style for flexible communication are noticeable. For effective diffusion of E-Journal, information infrastructures such as high - speed telecommunication networks and digital libraries are urgently needed. Government subsidy as in Great Britain is necessary for E-Journal publishing.

The Code of Ethics for Newspaper Advertising in Korea, first implemented in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1976, 1996, and 2021, is a critical regulatory instrument for the country's advertising sector. However, the specialized domain of "advertising ethics," particularly the "code of advertising ethics," remains under-explored. This research addresses this scholarly gap, providing an empirical analysis of the 2021 amendment's revision trajectory. This study employs a robust methodological approach, integrating expert interviews and small-group AHP-based surveys. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the revision needs, referencing existing ethical codes studies, and comparing similar ethics codes nationally and internationally. The research further investigates key challenges such as personal data protection and copyright issues in the rapidly evolving digital media landscape, while preserving the existing code's inherent value. The findings are expected to significantly contribute to the emerging field of advertising ethics in Korea, offering practical implications for future code revisions.
