ABSTRACT

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of citation patterns between journals and conferences using bibliometric and social network analysis on references from the ‘Journal of the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (JKIISC)’. The results indicate that conference references slightly exceed journal references, with around 80% being international publications, highlighting Korean researchers' high dependency on overseas publications. Analysis of citation age shows trends of increasing immediacy citation rate, lengthening citing half-life, and shortening peak time, with domestic publications having higher immediacy citation rate and international publications having slower citing half-life. Mapping SCOPUS journals and ICORE conferences revealed that journal citations mainly come from ‘Computer science’ (32.3%), ‘Engineering’ (23.5%), ‘Mathematics’ (16.7%), and ‘Social Cciences’ (12.8%), along with other research fields (25.6%), while conference citations are predominantly in ‘Cybersecurity and Privacy’ with recent increases in ‘Computer Vision and Multimedia Computation’ and ‘Machine Learning’. Co-citation network analysis shows higher degree centrality for conference groups and international publications. The co-citation frequency between different types of literature was highest between journals and conferences (36.9%), compared to within journals (34.3%) or within conferences (28.8%). Lastly, network visualization maps are presented to explore the structural connections among co-cited publications and their research fields. The results of this study suggest that the field of information security research in Korea effectively balances the use of journal and conference literature, indicating that the field is developing through a complementary relationship between these sources.
