ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to provide a global overview of research trends in information science and to trace its changes in the main research topics over time using trends analysis. The study examined the topics of research articles published in Journal of Korean Society for Information Management between 1984 and 2009. Rather than taking a single snapshot of a given point in time, this study attempted to present a series of such pictures in order to identify trends over time. The fairly arbitrary decision was taken to divide the period under consideration into three ‘publication windows’: 1984-1994, 1995-2002, 2003-2009. The study revealed that the most productive areas were ‘Information Service’, followed by ‘Information Organization’, and ‘Information System’. The most productive sub-areas were ‘Library Service’, ‘User Study’, ‘Automatic Document Analysis’, ‘ILS’, ‘Thesaurus/Ontology’, and ‘Digital Library’. From the comparisons of intellectual structures of title keywords, the key research area in the field of Information Science was ‘Information Retrieval’. The studies of IT applications and service system evaluation have been expanded.
