The study examines the research trends of doctoral dissertations in Library Science and Information Science published in the U.S. for the last 5 years. Data collected from PQDT Global includes 1,016 doctoral dissertations containing “Library Science” or “Information Science” as subject headings, and keywords extracted from those dissertations were used for a network analysis, which helps identifying the intellectual structure of the dissertations. Also, the analysis using 103 subject heading keywords resulted in various centrality measures, including triangle betweenness centrality and nearest neighbor centrality, as well as 26 clusters of associated subject headings. The most frequently studied subjects include computer-related subjects, education-related subjects, and communication-related subjects, and a cluster with information science as the most central subject contains most of the computer-related keywords, while a cluster with library science as the most central subject contains many of the education-related keywords. Other related subjects include various user groups for user studies, and subjects related to information systems such as management, economics, geography, and biomedical engineering.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of Korean media on the topic of archives & records management based on time-series analysis. In this study, from January, 1999 to June, 2018, 4,680 news articles on archives & records management topics were extracted from BigKinds. In order to examine the characteristics of the media coverage on the archives & records management topic, this study was analyzed to the difference of the press coverage by period, subject, and type of the media. In addition, this study was conducted word-frequency based content analysis and semantic network analysis to investigate the content characteristics of media on the subject. Based on these results, this study was analyzed to the differences of media coverage by period, subject, and type of media. As a result, the news in the field of records management showed that there was a difference in the amount of news coverage and news contents by period, subject, and type of media. The amount of news coverage began to increase after the Presidential Records Management Act was enacted in 2007, and the largest amount of news was reported in 2013. Daily newspapers and financial newspapers reported the largest amount of news. As a result of analyzing news reports, during the first 10 years after 1999, news topics were formed around the issues arising from the application and diffusion process of the concept of archives & records management. However, since the enactment of the Presidential Records Management Act, archives & records management has become a major factor in political and social issues, and a large amount of political and social news has been reported.

The objectives of this study is to present a discovering process of interdisciplinary convergence technology using text mining of big data. For the convergence research of biotechnology(BT) and information communications technology (ICT), the following processes were performed. (1) Collecting sufficient meta data of research articles based on BT terminology list. (2) Generating intellectual structure of emerging technologies by using a Pathfinder network scaling algorithm. (3) Analyzing contents with topic modeling. Next three steps were also used to derive items of BT-ICT convergence technology. (4) Expanding BT terminology list into superior concepts of technology to obtain ICT-related information from BT. (5) Automatically collecting meta data of research articles of two fields by using OpenAPI service. (6) Analyzing contents of BT-ICT topic models. Our study proclaims the following findings. Firstly, terminology list can be an important knowledge base for discovering convergence technologies. Secondly, the analysis of a large quantity of literature requires text mining that facilitates the analysis by reducing the dimension of the data. The methodology we suggest here to process and analyze data is efficient to discover technologies with high possibility of interdisciplinary convergence.
