연구지원 서비스 품질 향상을 위한 계량서지학적 의학연구 동향 분석: 일개 의과대학을 대상으로

In this study, as part of improving the research support services, we try to understand the research trend of an institution from various angles by analyzing the publications of its researchers. To this end, bibliographic information on publications involving researchers who are affiliated with Catholic University of Korea or Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital were collected from Web of Science. After the process of data filtering, bibliometric analysis was conducted with a total of 28,001 records using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. As a result, through the co-authorship network, we found that the collaborative relationship was expanding to various countries. In the case of the keyword co-occurrence network, we verified preclinical medicine and clinical medicine as the two main clusters with cancer research and meta-analysis attracting attention and identified the main research questions (e.g., diagnosis, prognosis, prediction and prevention) related to a specific topic from individual research fields. Finally, in the document co-citation network, oncology studies showed a pattern of citing more recent literature than the neuroscience and neurology studies, and in the journal co-citation network, some clusters in the field of surgery showed a similar citation pattern to the clusters in oncology, and neuroscience and neurology. In conclusion, applying bibliometric analysis to better understand the information needs of the users will contribute to improving the direction of research support services and to enhancing the professional capabilities of the librarians.
