AB - Previous attempts to trace North Korean research trends have relied heavily on qualitative analysis, resulting in subjective narratives, and limited attempts at quantitative analysis have been one-dimensional in nature.
In order to address this need for the diversification of methods for the study of North Korean Balhae research, ‘digital data analysis’ methods widely used in the social sciences were adopted. This paper presents the results of qualitative and quantitative content analysis undertaken on the titles of articles on Balhae published in six North Korean research journals.
Descriptive statistical analysis was used, as was Semantic Network Analysis.
The results of the former revealed diachronic insights on the publication of Balhae articles, and comparative analysis was undertaken on different journals. The latter involved the use of NetMiner 4.0 software to produce a sematic network, to create ‘content clouds’, and to undertake degree centrality analysis. The results of the this study contributed to a better undertaking of North Korean Balhae research trends, presented a way of utilizing data on North Korean research journals accumulated through DB construction projects, and provided an example of applying digital data analysis techniques to humanities research.
