이 연구에서는 토픽 모델링 결과 해석의 용이성을 위하여, 동적 인용 네트워크를 활용하여 LDA 기반 토픽 모델링의 토픽 수를 설정하고 중복 배치된 주요 키워드를 자아 중심 네트워크 분석을 통해 재배치하여 제시하는 방법을 제안하였다. ‘White LED’ 두 분야의 논문 데이터를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 동적 인용 네트워크 분석을 통해 형성된 분석대상 문헌집단에 혼잡도에 따른 토픽수를 사용하고 중복 분류된 토픽 내 주요 키워드를 자아중심 네트워크 분석 기법을 적용하여 재배치한 결과가 토픽 간의 중복도가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 동적 인용 네트워크 및 자아 중심 네트워크 분석을 적용함으로써 토픽모델링에 의한 분석 결과를 보완하는 다면적인 연구 동향 분석이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

Abstract

The combined approach of using ego-centric network analysis and dynamic citation network analysis for refining the result of LDA-based topic modeling was suggested and examined in this study. Tow datasets were constructed by collecting Web of Science bibliographic records of White LED and topic modeling was performed by setting a different number of topics on each dataset. The multi-assigned top keywords of each topic were re-assigned to one specific topic by applying an ego-centric network analysis algorithm. It was found that the topical cohesion of the result of topic modeling with the number of topic corresponding to the lowest value of perplexity to the dataset extracted by SPLC network analysis was the strongest with the best values of internal clustering evaluation indices. Furthermore, it demonstrates the possibility of developing the suggested approach as a method of multi-faceted research trend detection.

Abstract

Even though the overall scholarly community has recognized a dramatic growth and changes in the Information Science research in Korea over the last few decades, there are still only few studies that have identified the changes in terms of long-term and dynamic point of view. We have analyzed 1,007 IS-research articles from leading Korean journals in KCI (Korea Citation Index), published between 2000 and 2011. To discern the trendline of changes in research interests over time, we conducted a time-series analysis by developing grounded subject scheme from the article set and checking the growth rate of the number of published articles and title keywords. A comparative analysis was also conducted by constructing and comparing co-word maps over time to discover visible changes in research topics over this 12-year period of the IS-research in Korea. As a result, we identified some developments and transformations in major subject areas and knowledge structure of the IS-research in Korea over time. The major trend we discovered is that IS-studies over the 12-year period evolved from system-oriented research to library-application research. The changes are especially observed in knowledge management, Web-based system evaluation, and information retrieval areas. When compared to the results of other studies, the result of our study may serve as an evidence of the localization of Korean IS-studies in the first decade of the 21st century.
