이 연구에서는 특정 주제 분야의 핵심적이고 전역적인 연구 동향을 제공하는 연구지원 정보서비스 개발을 위해 SPLC(Search Path Link Count) 분석을 적용할 때, 데이터의 범위와 인용빈도 설정에 대하여 탐험적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 Web of Science에서 검색된 RGB LED 분야의 2,318개 논문과 20,109개 상위 인용논문으로 5개의 데이터셋을 구성하였다. 각 데이터셋에서 히스토리오그래프와 SPLC 네트워크를 인용빈도 임계치를 변화시키면서 28개 주요 연구 동향 네트워크를 추출하여, 인용문헌의 포함여부와 인용빈도 임계치 설정이 SPLC 네트워크에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 특정 기관 소속 연구자들에게 SPLC 네트워크에 포함된 198개 주요 논문 리스트를 제공하고 피드백을 받음으로써, 전역적 연구 동향이 개인 연구자의 정보 요구에 부합하는지 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 분석 대상에 상위 인용문헌 포함 여부와 인용빈도임계치에 따라 추출되는 SPLC 네트워크가 변화되었으나, 일정 인용빈도임계치값에서는 수렴하였다. 그리고 개인 연구자의 정보 요구는 SPLC를 통해 제공된 전역적 연구 동향과 출판년도의 차이는 있지만 대체적으로 일치하는 것으로 나타나, 인용문헌을 포함하여 인용빈도임계치를 변화시키는 SPLC 분석을 통해 개인 이용자가 원하는 전역적 연구 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있는 것으로 해석된다. 이를 일반화하기 위해서는 이 탐색적 연구에서 제안된 방법을 다양한 분야에 적용하는 후속 연구가 필요할 것이다.
The purpose of this study is to examine the data coverage and citation threshold for analyzing SPLC(Search Path Link Count) as a main path of a historiograph of a certain topic in order to provide ‘core’ papers of global research trends to a researcher affiliated with a local R&D institution. 5 datasets were constructed by retrieving and collecting 2,318 articles on RGB LED on Web of Science published from 1990-2013 and 20,109 articles which cited these original 2,318. The SPLC analysis was performed on each dataset by increasing the threshold of citation counts, and the changes and resilience of the 28 extraced networks were compared. The results of user feedback on 198 unique core papers from 28 SPLC networks received from LED researchers affiliated with a Korean government-sponsored research institution were also analyzed. As a result, it is found that the nodes in each SPLC network in each dataset were differentiated by the citation counts, while the changes in the structure of SPLC networks were slight after the networks’ citation counts were set at 40. Additionally, the user feedback showed that personalized research interest generally matched to the global research trends identified by the SPLC analysis.
