How authors select covariates in the multivariate analysis of cancer studies in 10 oncology journals in Korea: a descriptive study

Purpose: Cancer is the leading cause of death in Korea, leading many investigators to focus on cancer research. We present the current practice of variable selection methods for multivariate analyses in cancer studies recently published in major oncology journals in Korea.Methods: We included observational studies investigating associations between exposures and outcomes using multivariate analysis from 10 major oncology journals published in 2021 in KoreaMed, a Korean electronic database. Two reviewers independently and in duplicate performed the reference screening and data extraction. For each study included in this review, we collected important aspects of the variable selection methods in multivariate models, including the study characteristics, analytic methods, and covariate selection methods. The descriptive statistics of the data are presented.Results: In total, 107 studies were included. None used prespecified covariate selection methods, and half of the studies did not provide enough information to classify covariate selection methods. Among the studies reporting selection methods, almost all studies only used data-driven methods, despite having study questions related to causality. The most commonly used method for variable selection was significance in the univariate model, with the outcome as the dependent variable.Conclusion: Half of the included studies did not provide sufficient information to assess the variable selection method, and most used a limited data-driven method. We believe that the reporting of covariate selection methods requires improvement, and our results can be used to educate researchers, editors, and reviewers to increase the transparency and adequacy of covariate selection for multivariable analyses in observational studies.

A Study about Inequality in the Scholarly Publishing of Korean Research Institutions using the Gini Coefficient

This study uses the Gini coefficient to examine the inequality in scholarly publishing for research institutions that have published articles in international journals in Korea for the past 20 years. The Gini coefficient was calculated using the number of papers and the cited-by counts, and the academic fields in which the Gini coefficient changed over time was identified. The result show that the inequality among Korean research institutions did not decrease compared to the 2000s, showing an inequality of g = 0.75-0.82. Broken down by academic fields, clinical medicine has the largest inequality, and the inequality in the art and humanities was found to have worsened in the past decade. This is the first study to understand the inequality in research output for all research institutions on country through the Gini coefficient. This study emphasizes on the use of Gini coefficients, to accurately measure the concentration of research output and its changes. By comparing differences among disciplines or countries, it can contribute to discussing the issue of inequality.

 Conclusions Based on these results, implications of research on childhood trauma experiences in Korea and suggestions for follow-up studies were discussed.

비동일방법편의(Uncommon Method Bias)의 원인과 해결방안

Common method bias(CMB) occurs when the measurement of all variables within a conceptual framework is done with a single i.e. common method. The importance of overcoming CMB as a key way to increase the quality of research has been recognized by most scholars, that it is often treated as a basic condition to be fulfilled in doing an empirical study. Thus, the use of uncommon methods became a fad to overcome CMB. By recognizing that uncommon method also has problems, this paper describes uncommon method bias(UMB) thoroughly: What it is, why it happens, and finally the six ways to overcome it. Furthermore, 1,529 empirical papers published in past 14 years (2008~2021) in three prominent Korea journals were analyzed in detail to see to what extent they recognized the issue of CMB and/or UMB, and how they tried to overcome them. Unlike growing recognition and effort to overcome CMB, none of the 1,529 papers has mentioned anything about UMB, not to mention any efforts to overcome it.

This paper analyzes trends in forest healing studies based on the published graduates’ theses and domestic journals in Korea from January 1, 2006, to June 30, 2021. The results of the study will provide data for forest healing researchers. According to the research results, research related to forest healing in Korea has been steadily increasing since the early 2000s, and from 2020, most works are being actively performed. The gender ratio of researchers was 5.4% higher in females than males in the case of degree dissertations and 25.0% higher in males than females in the case of journals. In terms of publication type, the highest number of journals was 184 articles (61.3%), followed by master's thesis with 82 articles (27.3%) and doctoral dissertation with 34 articles (11.3%). In terms of research methods, most of the papers (77.3%) are quantitative studies. When the study subjects were classified into the general group, occupational group, disease group, and social target, the general group for the purpose of prevention were the most with 78 articles (61.9%). The topics of the papers related to forest healing were in the order of analysis of the effects of forest healing programs, development of forest healing programs, and forest healing facilities. At a time when more attention is being paid to forests, which are places of healing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes basic data for forest healing researchers through objective data analysis of domestic forest healing. When analyzing domestic and foreign trends in the future, if you analyze paradigm changes and trends in various media, such as news as well as YouTube videos, using big data-related technologies that have been used in recent research papers, broader insights can be provided.

Development of Innovation Studies in Korea from the Perspective of the National Innovation System

The objective of this study is to explore how extant studies on innovation have contributed to the distribution of knowledge required for improving the national innovation system (NIS) in Korea. Korea was chosen as the context for this study because it is one of the leading countries that has succeeded in establishing an NIS. Using a systematic review method, we selected 739 articles published in two representative innovation journals in Korea, and analyzed the critical topics of these articles from the perspective of NIS studies. Overall, we found that these studies helped establish a knowledge base necessary for developing the NIS in Korea. Results showed that, over time, the scope of the studies shifted attention from building the NIS to implementing it. As a subsystem of the NIS, the industrial fields that sectoral innovation systems (SIS) were interested in were also changing in line with Korea’s economic growth over time. This study contributes to innovation studies by offering a comprehensive picture of findings on NIS studies in the innovation literature in Korea, and providing a theoretical framework that organizes the literature. This study expands our understanding of the NIS, which has been recognized as an effective tool to compare and measure innovative performance and economic achievements.

PubMed Central as a platform for the survival of open-access biomedical society journals published in Korea

Twenty-one years have passed since PubMed Central (PMC) launched. The present case study describes Korean editors’ history of participation in PMC and their contributions to PMC. The three main turning points in the history of Korean editors’ involvement with PMC were as follows: first, the production of PMC XML files and deposition starting in 2008; second, thorough evaluations of applying journals since 2014; and third, the feasibility of non-English journals being indexed in PMC starting in 2019. The importance of PMC is further shown by the fact that KoreaMed Synapse, a full-text XML database of biomedical journals in Korea that was launched in 2007, was created by benchmarking PMC. Scholarly societies or institutes publish 724 (34.2%) of the 2,119 PMC journals without embargo in June 2021. Out of those 724 journals, 127 (17.5%) are published in Korea. PMC has helped local journals receive more citations from researchers worldwide, increasing their likelihood of being indexed in international databases. The number of submissions from international researchers has increased, thereby making it possible for journals to achieve international diversity. As the best full-text platform of biomedical journals, PMC has provided an excellent opportunity for biomedical journal editors in Korea to change their journals’ language to English and produce full-text JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) XML files. These factors have made Korea the second-ranked country in terms of no-embargo PMC journals published by academic societies or institutes.

ESG 경영성과에 대한 연구의 현황과 발전방향 -한국과 중국을 중심으로-

As ESG management is becoming an essential condition for the survival of companies around the world, social demands and expectations for companies are growing in Korea and China as well. As required in the field of social sciences, it is important to review the results of related studies and to examine whether the results can be applied to similar contexts. The purpose of this study is to present the current status and future development direction through a comprehensive analysis of the literature related to ESG management and its performance in the strategic management field in Korea and China. To do this, we first look at the ESG concept and related terms. Although traditionally focused on financial performance, such as economic performance, sustainability management is starting to consider non-financial performance as well. The literature reports on the contribution of ESG-based non-financial performance to a company’s sustainability. We then select the empirical literature that relies on specific measures of sustainable management and review the results. A total of 31 studies published in related journals in Korea and China are selected using various criteria such as keywords and research methods, and the ESG evaluation system used in most studies and methodological problems inherent in the data are systematically reviewed. However, due to the lack of sufficient sample, the failure to distinguish and analyze the industrial characteristics of the company remains an issue to be addressed in future studies.

특수교육 분야의 ADHD 연구 동향 분석: 국내 학술지를 중심으로

이 연구는 국내 특수교육 분야의 최근 ADHD 연구의 경향적 특성을 고찰하기 위해 2011년부터 2020년까지 특수교육 분야 학술지 5종에 게재된 140편의 관련논문을 전체 시기와 전반기(2011년∼2015년)와 후반기(2016년∼2020년)로 구분하여 키워드 네트워크 분석과 내용분석을 실시했고 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 최근 10년 동안의 ADHD 연구 경향을 대표하는 핵심 키워드는 사회적 기술, 과잉행동, 문제행동, 부모교육, 아동, 주의력결핍, 위험군, 주의집중력, 실행기능, 인지 등으로 나타났고 시기별로 상이한 연구경향을 보인다. 둘째, ADHD 연구는 ADHD로 진단된 아동의 증상과 학업 및 행동에 대한 인지, 예술치료적 중재에 초점을 둔 실험연구와 조사연구를 중심으로 이루어지고 있으며 최근 게재논문의 수는 다소 감소하고 있으나 ADHD 위험집단과 ADHD 성인, 기능 증진, 부모교육 등에 대한 관심은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 따라서 ADHD 아동과 가장 밀접한 관련이 있는 특수교육 분야에서 ADHD 학생들의 진단과 행동중재, 학업성취를 포함한 교육적 성취를 적극 지원할 뿐만 아니라 특별한 교육적 어려움을 가지는 ADHD 학생들이 특수교육 대상자로 선정되어 정당한 편의를 제공받을 수 있도록, 그 필요성과 당위성에 대한 연구 노력 또한 아끼지 않아야 할 것이다.

Was the number of submissions to scholarly journals in Korea affected by the COVID-19 pandemic?

This study investigated whether there was an increase in submissions to scholarly journals in Korea according to journals’ field and indexation status in Scopus or Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in 2020, the year when the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic first spread throughout the world. The analysis included 60 journals with esubmission systems operated by M2PI. Yearly and monthly submissions were counted from 2016 to 2020. The yearly proportional change was also calculated. In 2020, submissions soared for medical journals indexed in Scopus/SCIE (49.5%), corresponding to an increase of 36.9% relative to the expected number of submissions. There was also a surge of submissions to these journals from March to July 2020. However, non-medical journals and medical journals not indexed in Scopus/SCIE did not show an increase in submissions. The number of submissions to scholarly journals in Korea was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a specific subset of journals. The background of the spike in submissions is required to be re-investigated. Editors’ burden also should be mitigated through editorial board members’ help and publishers’ support.

The Bibliometric Keywords Network Analysis of Human Resource Management Research Trends: The Case of Human Resource Management Journals in South Korea

Although previous studies on human resource management (HRM) research trends in the global context provided very useful information about the structures of HRM research trends, they have critical limitations. Despite the growing contribution and significance of HRM practices in Korea, a dominant group of scholars has rarely focused on what is going on in the research community in the country. To overcome the limitations and fill the gaps found in studies on the global HRM trends, the purpose of this study is to conduct the keyword network analysis investigating the semantic network structure composed of Korean HRM studies. A total of 1158 research papers published by three top peer-reviewed HRM journals in Korea that were published from 2007 to 2018 were analyzed. The result shows that the whole network structure of Korean HRM has a complex semantic structure that is socially constructed. Additionally, this study identified the top 10 prominent keywords and its ego-centric networks, and nine thematic clusters. By adopting keywords network analysis in bibliometric methods, this study provides an accurate structural interpretation of Korean HRM research practice to facilitate the sustainable development of the studies on the global HRM trends.

In order to achieve the purpose, 165 research papers were collected from 1999 to June 2019 using the Research Information Sharing Service(RISS) of the Korea Educational and Scientific Information Service. For the 165 papers, the characteristics(publication year, academic journals), research contents, and research methods were analyzed and frequency analysis and keyword network analysis was conducted using keywords of the research works. The study results are as follows. First, the number of papers related to University Lifelong Education has steadily increased from 2010 to 2019, resulting in more than twice as many papers being published from 1999 to 2009. In addition, the highest number of research studied adult lifelong education related to University Lifelong Education, followed by the role and development task of University Lifelong Education, University Lifelong Education cases and national comparison study, and University Lifelong Education programs. In terms of the research methodology, literature research on University Lifelong Education was the most common, followed by quantitative research and mixed research. Secondly, as keywords related to University Lifelong Education, university-affiliated lifelong education center, adult learner, lifelong learning, participation motivation, and lifelong learning society. The results of the keyword network analysis confirmed that, based on the top 5 keywords with high degree centrality, the order was from adult learners, lifelong learning, lifelong education institute attached to university, participation motivation, higher education, lifelong learning center, university education, and adult college students showing that University Lifelong Education related keywords have been actively used in the research as they have become the core of the research as keywords that act as a link in the network and have established the relationship between them. The top 5 keywords with high betweenness centrality were adult learners, university-affiliated lifelong education centers, civic universities, lifelong learning, and adult education. The main words are important as the main words that play a role as a connection or a medium by forming a relationship between performance control on the network. Based on the above analysis results, the discussion and implications for the lifelong education field of universities were suggested.
