Abstract

This study examines the social network of scholars in the field of communication by using author cocitation data. A matrix containing the number of cocited documents between pairs of authors is created for social network analysis of scholars who are on the editorial board of Journal of Communication, and the networked map of the scholars is used to visualize the knowledge structure of the field by identifying groups of authors who are more central than others. In addition, the study compares the previous analysis performed in 2008 and the current analysis on the editorial board of the journal, which increased from 146 to 254 scholars in numbers. Author cocitation data was collected using Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) through the Web of Science database, and UCInet was used to create and visualize the author cocitation network and to analyze the correlation between the cocitation network and the factors that may have affected the structure of the cocitation network.

본 연구는 저자 동시인용 데이터를 이용하여 커뮤니케이션 분야의 학자들간의 네트워크를 연구하였다. 저자 동시인용 분석이란 두 저자가 제 3의 다른 저자에 의해 동시에 인용되는 경우를 말하는데, 본 연구에서는 International Communication Association의 가장 대표적인 학술지인 Journal of Communication의 편집위원회를 그 대상으로 하였다. 저자동시인용 데이터는 좌우대칭의 매트릭스에 입력되고, 그 행렬에서 얻어지는 저자들의 위치도(network map)를 통해 각 저자들의 전문분야들이 위치도 안에서 어떻게 구분되는지, 또한 네트워크 상에서 어떤 저자들이 다른 저자들에 비해 중심적인 지 보여주는 데 이용된다. 기본적인 저자동시인용분석 외에도 두 매트릭스의 연관성을 비교하는 QAP 분석을 통해 어떠한 요인들이 커뮤니케이션 분야의 지식구조에 영향을 미치는 지 조사하였는데, 저자들의 교육적 배경이나 현재 소속된 기관보다는 각자의 전문분야가 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 저자동시인용분석에 필요한 데이터는 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) 데이터베이스를 통해 수집되었고, 저자들의 네트워크 지도는 UCInet이라는 프로그램을 이용하여 만들어졌다.
