오픈액세스 학술지와 부실의심학술지에 대한 오해와 이해에 관한 연구

노영희 한국비교정부학회 2023 한국비교정부학보 Vol.27 No.3

(Purpose) The issue of academic activities suspected of insolvency is frequently discussed. Predatory academic journals mean academic journals that operate poorly the presentation or screening process because they have a strong commercial purpose, such as income from participation fees, rather than academic development. This study aimed to compare the distribution systems and characteristics of predatory journals and open-access academic journals while attempting to confirm their relationship. (Design/methodology/approach) To achieve this goal, the study conducted a literature review on OA and predatory journals, investigated the emergence, characteristics, and policies of OA journals, defined predatory journals, and analyzed their characteristics and issues. Based on this analysis, the study identified issues within the relationship between predatory journals and OA journals. (Findings) The research findings indicated that there was no significant relationship between these two types of journals. Instead, it was concluded that the activation of open-access journal systems could potentially contribute to reducing the distribution of predatory journals. (Research implications or Originality) The reason why the number of journals suspected of insolvency is inevitably reduced as the open access journal distribution system expands is that, first, it is difficult for journals suspected of insolvency to compete in terms of economics because investments are made at the national level in the open journal system. Second, if the open access journal system returns to the previous academic ecosystem, it will be more active because journals with suspected insolvency will be in an advantageous position in many aspects. The burden of excessive performance evaluation, the researcher's attitude to go through an easy publishing process, and the lack of the right education system require more efforts to face it and correct it.

Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals

Internation Committee of Medical Journal Editors 朝鮮大學校 附設 醫學硏究所 1989 The Medical Journal of Chosun University Vol.14 No.2

In January 1978 a group of editors from some major biomedical journals published in Englihs met in Vancouver, British Columbia, and decided on uniform technical requirements for manuscripts to be submitted to their journals. These requirements, including formats for bibliographic references developed for the Vancouver group by the National Library of Medicine, were published in three of the journals early in 1979. The Vancouver group evolved into the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. At the October 1981 meeting the requirements were revised slightly and published in a second edition in 1982. Since then the group has issued several separate statements, and these have been incorporated into the main part of this, the third, edition. Over 300 journals have agreed to receive manuscripts prepared in accordance with the initial, previously published, requirements. It is important to emphasise what these requirements imply and what they do not. Firstly, the requirements are instructions to authors on how to prepare manuscripts, not to editors on publication style(But many journals have drawn on these requirements for elements of their pubilcation styles.) Secondly, if authors prepare their manuscripts in the style specified in these requirements editors of the participating journals will not return manuscripts for changes in these details of style. Even so, manuscripts may be altered by journals to conform with details of their own publication styles. Thirdly, authors sending manuscripts to a participating journal should not try to prepare them in accordance with the publication style of that journal but should follow the "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals." Nevertheless authors must also follow the instructions to authors in the journal as to what topics are suitable for that journal and the types of papers that may be submitted-for example, original articles, reviews, case reports. In addition, the journal's instructions are likely to contain other requirements unique to that journal, such as number of copies of manuscripts, acceptable languages, length of articles, and approved abbreviations. Participating journals are expected to state in their instructions to authors that their requirements are in accordance with the "Uiform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals" and to cite a published version. This document will be revised at intervals. Inquiries and comments from Central and North America about these requirements should be sent to Edward J Huth, MD, Annals of Internal Medicine, 4200 Pine Street, Philadelphia, P A 19104, USA; those from other regions should be sent to Stephen Lock, MD, British Medical Journal, British Medical Association, Tavistock Square, London WCIH 9JR, United Kingdom, Note these two journals provide secretariat services for the Itnerantional Committee of Medical Journal Editors; they do not handle manuscripts intended for other journals. Paper intended for other journals should be sent directly to the offices of those journals.

韩国期刊建设对中国人社类学术期刊发展的启示 - 以在韩中国语言文学类学术期刊为中心-

蘇航(Su Hang),崔桓(Choi Hwan) 동아인문학회 2021 동아인문학 Vol.55 No.-

Chinese academic journals in the humanities and social sciences have developed rapidly in recent years, but behind the increase in number, the environment of journals and the improvement of the quality of papers still have a long way to go. South Korea, which is also within the East Asian cultural circle, its modern academic research started almost at the same time as China. The academic environment of the two countries is similar. The development level of academic journals is not too high in the international view. However, in recent years, the Korean government and all walks of life Under the joint efforts, the academic journal circle in South Korea has formed a relatively standardized development environment, and has promoted the sound development of the overall academic ecology of South Korea. From this point of view, the development model of Korean academic journals has important reference significance for our country. This article takes the academic journals of Chinese language and literature in South Korea as an example. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the construction of Korean journals from two aspects of operation details and related journal institution, and based on this, it puts forward five major recommendations to the Chinese human and social journals, including establishing a dedicated academic journal management funding agency and a unified journal evaluation system, increasing the number of “core journals”, changing evaluation concepts, relaxing the conditions for running journals, and increasing professional journals Proportion, respect for the characteristics of disciplines, improve evaluation methods, encourage the entry of social resources, etc.

한국과 일본의 법학 학술지에 관한 비교 연구 의 질 담보를 중심으로 -

신현철,쿄슌스케 부산대학교 법학연구소 2019 법학연구 Vol.60 No.2

This study presents a comparative analysis of systems and management of law journals in both Korea and Japan, based on a question whether or not the rating system on law journals in Korea contributes to the development of quality legal research. Chapter 1 presents a general standard of evaluating scholarly journals. Scholarly journals are evaluated in terms of the quality (academic level, research value, etc.) of their articles. Law journals are evaluated on the basis of similar criteria. Chapter 2 examines the rating system on whole scholarly journals and its management on law journals and indicates problems of the system and management. While Korean policy on the management of scholarly journals has been successful in increasing the number of law journals, it has failed to contribute to the improvement of their quality. It has been indicated that the policy has difficult to assure the quality of law journal articles. Chapter 3 shows the present situation of Japanese law journals and inquires into their quality control of articles. Japan has neither rating system nor systematic evaluations of law journal quality like Korea. Even peer review of articles is only partially conducted in Japan. How do Japanese law journals assure quality of articles? This study makes comprehensive list of Japanese law journals and categorizes them as commercial journals, journals of academic association, bulletins of universities, etc. Then, this study inquires their way to control quality of articles, based on the result of the comprehensive listing of law journals and an exploratory survey of law researchers. Japanese law journals enforce article quality control through selection of authors by editors of publishing companies and editorial boards comprised of well-established law researchers, a partial peer review system, community activities in academic societies, and the overall academic job appointment process. The quality of Japanese articles, controlled through these means, operates as the most important indicator in evaluating law researchers. Thus, Japanese law journals attempt improving levels of the quality of their articles not through the rating system on journals which Korea adopts but through other means such as community activities in academic societies, while effect of Korean policy to assure the quality of articles through increasing the number of articles published in scholarly journals including law journals has been decreasing to the limit. This means it is time to change direction of the Korean rating system on law journals. The authors argue that Korea needs a reform of systems and management regarding law journals to improve the quality of articles in taking the character of the law research into consideration, even though the authors are not able to evaluate the present quality of Korean law journal articles. The means to reform the authors argue is presented in Chapter 4. If the present rating system is maintained, the authors suggest a system which evaluate only formal requirements of law journals and leave evaluation on quality or academic value to autonomy of the academic marketplace. The authors argue, however, that it is better to phase out the existing system regarding evaluation on law journals and leave it to autonomy of the academic marketplace in order to develop Korean law journals into ones competitive with Japanese peers at least.

The current status of science journals in Indonesia

Komang G. Wiryawan 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2014 Science Editing Vol.1 No.2

Indonesia is the fourth most highly populated country in the world. Every year, there are more than 1.5-million students enrolled into universities across Indonesia. This large number of students is a potential source of scientific publication, as all students are required to publish a paper before they take their final examination. To accommodate this publication demand, good-quality journals need to be established in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper will describe the current status of scientific journals in Indonesia and some other information related to Indonesian scientific journals. The data presented in this article were obtained from the websites of government institutions such as Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Ministry of Education and Culture, and Indonesian Scientific Journal Database. Currently, there are 5,900 scientific journals in Indonesia that are grouped into three classes, namely non-accredited journals (5,579 titles), accredited journals (342 titles), and international journals (16 titles). Most journals are published by universities, faculties, or departments. Other journals are published by research centers and scientific associations. In recent years, the number of journals indexed in Scopus has increased substantially, from only 2 journals before the year 2000 to 16 journals in 2013. In addition, the number of journals registered in the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) increased sharply from 3 titles in 2009 to 109 titles at the end of 2013. In the year 2012, the number of papers published in the abovementioned journals was 145,000, but only 1,314 papers were published internationally. This number is still very low, even when compared to some Southeast Asian countries. To improve the quality of journals and to increase the number of papers published, a high commitment from the government is required, particularly in terms of regulation formulation and funding provision.

Status of digital standards, licensing types, and archiving policies in Asian open access journals registered in Directory of Open Access Journals

김순,최형욱 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2019 Science Editing Vol.6 No.1

Purpose This study aims to analyze the digital standards of Asian journals registered in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) which has been recognized as an index of quality for open access journals. Methods Data including 54 fields of each journal listed in DOAJ were provided by the DOAJ team in June 5, 2018. We focused on 11 fields including digital standards, content licensing types and digital archiving policy. Results Based on raw data from DOAJ from June 5, 2018, there are 11,534 journals registered in the directory. Among all journals in the directory, Asian journals comprise 1,972 journals from 18 countries. Indonesian journals rank at the top for Asian journals, with 1,322 journals originating from that country. Other major Asian countries’ registration status includes India (238), South Korea (82), China (80), Malaysia (45), Pakistan (39), Taiwan (30), Thailand (27), Japan (20), and Hong Kong (20). Eighty percent of journals (1,584) are using PDF-only as their full-text format, and DOI is adopted in 852 journals (43%). Almost 98% of journals (1,936) are having a Creative Commons license; however, 85% of journals (1,689) do not have a digital archiving policy. Conclusion Generally, digital standards are well implemented in South Korea, and digital archiving/deposit policy is well accepted in Indian journals. Many Asian open access journal editors can refer to this study result when they digitalize their journals in order to meet global standards.

KCI 등재지의 CCL 적용 현황 연구

정경희 한국비블리아학회 2023 한국비블리아학회지 Vol.34 No.2

This study aimed to understand the application and types of Creative Commons Licenses (CCL) in Korean journals and to increase understanding of the state of open access in South Korea. The study collected and analyzed CCL-related information from the websites of 2,097 KCI journals and compared the findings with DOAJ journals and previous research. The results of the study are summarized as follows. Firstly, 18% (377 journals) of the KCI journals adopted CCL, and among them, approximately 90% (337 journals) were in the field of STEM. There were few academic journals applying CCL in humanities and social sciences fields. Secondly, the types of CCL adopted by KCI journals were NC licenses (90%), with CC BY-NC (85%) being the most common. This is a significant difference from DOAJ journals, where 52% of academic journals applied CC BY or CC BY-SA. However, fewer journals applied licenses of the ND licenses than DOAJ journals and Spanish journals. Thirdly, 44% (167) of the 377 academic journals that applied CCL were simultaneously for free in public databases and sold for a fee in commercial databases. 33% (125) were publicly available for free in public databases, and 9% (33) were sold in commercial databases. 본 연구는 국내 학술지의 CCL 적용 여부와 그 유형을 파악하여 국내의 오픈액세스 현황에 대한 이해를 높이고자 하였다. 한국연구재단 등재지 2,097종의 홈페이지에 공개된 CCL 관련 정보를 수집하여 분석한 후 DOAJ 학술지 및 선행연구와 비교하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 등재지의 18%(377)가 CCL을 적용하고 있었고 이중 90%(337)는 STM 및 농수해양학 분야였으며 인문사회 분야에서 CCL을 적용한 학술지는 거의 없었다. 둘째, 등재지가 채택한 CCL 유형은 NC 계열이 90%, 특히 CC BY-NC가 85%로 가장 많았다. 해외의 DOAJ 학술지에서 CC BY 또는 CC BY-SA를 적용한 학술지가 52%인 것과 큰 차이가 있었다. 그러나 DOAJ 학술지와 스페인어 학술지에 비하면 ND 유형의 라이선스를 적용한 학술지는 더 적었다. 셋째, CCL을 적용한 학술지 377종의 44%(167)는 공공DB에서는 무료로 공개되는 동시에 상용DB에서는 유료로 판매되고 있었고, 33%(125)는 공공DB에서 무료로 공개되고 있었으며, 9%(33)는 상용DB에서 판매되고 있었다.

Status and factors associated with the adoption of data sharing policies in Asian journals

김지현,배서영 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2022 Science Editing Vol.9 No.2

Purpose: This study investigated the current status and factors associated with adopting data sharing policies in Asian journals. Data sharing policies vary by country and region, and few studies have examined the trends and factors related to these policies in journals across the Asian region.Methods: The 2020 Scimago Journal and Country Rank was used to download data about 1,143 Asian journals indexed in Web of Science. Excluding 40 journals inaccessible via the Internet or without English-language websites and author guidelines, 1,103 journals were analyzed through descriptive statistical analyses and the chi-square test.Results: Of the 1,103 journals, 325 (29.5%) had data sharing policies, showing a moderate level of policy adoption among Asian journals. The results of the chi-square test suggested that the impact factor and publisher type (whether a publisher was commercial) were significantly associated with the presence of data sharing policies in journals, but subject categories were not identified as a significant factor. Regarding the strength of data sharing policies, most journals provided policies that only encouraged data sharing.Conclusion: Policies only encouraging data sharing are unlikely to lead to actual data sharing; thus, considering varying levels of policy strength and effective ways to induce authors’ compliance with the policies is important. Further research needs to examine other factors affecting the presence or strength of data sharing policies.

Scientific and academic journals in the Philippines: status and challenges

Evelyn Mae Tecson-Mendoza 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2015 Science Editing Vol.2 No.2

As of July 2015, 28 Philippine scientific journals out of 777 Philippine scholarly journals are listed in the master journal lists of Thomson Reuters (TR), Scopus, or both. Of these scientific journals, thirteen are published by universities, two by government institutions, ten by professional organizations and three by private for-profit or non-profit organizations. Nineteen of these journals are over 25 years old, with the Philippine Journal of Science and the Philippine Agricultural Scientist being the oldest at 108 and 103 years in publication, respectively. Scientific journals in the Philippines, like other countries in Asia, face various increasing challenges. Among these challenges are getting listed in the master journal lists and citation databases of TR, Scopus, or both; obtaining funding; reaching a wider readership; attaining higher impact factors; competing for papers; and increased submission of manuscripts from outside the country. To promote the improvement of local journals, the National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines has given outstanding publication awards for scientific papers published in local journals for the past two decades. The Philippine Commission on Higher Education has accredited local journals that are included in either TR and Scopus journal master lists, and provides monetary incentives to accredited journals. Training workshops on scientific article writing and editorial management are conducted for researchers and editors by universities and professional and government organizations. A network of Philippine science editors has been formed to work together to upgrade and modernize selected journals to international standards.
