Research Trends on Healthcare Wearables Published in Korean Journals

Health care wearables are devices that are attached to or combined with the human body to improve the health care capabilities of the human body that can be safely and adjustable according to preference. This study provided direction for future research on healthcare wearables in the field of clothing science, considering trends observed in this field from 2010 to 2019. Over the last 10 years, 812 studies have been conducted on healthcare wearables in Korea. Research has increased significantly since 2015, with a large number of articles published in this field. The research for this study was broken down into the following categories: technology development, marketing analysis, and technology analysis. The results according to the research method demonstrated that development and production methods were used most fre quently, followed by trend analysis, experiment and evaluation, and survey. An analysis of keywords in the articles studied revealed that device, healthcare, big data (biometric data and database), and healthcare convergence technologies were trending. Similarly, detailed research on healthcare wearable devices and related technologies was actively being con ducted. However, focusing on fiber, textiles, design, and clothing articles, in relation to the field of clothing in healthcare wearables, only 81 articles were found on this topic (10.0%), which was low compared to other studies. Therefore, it was determined that more research on healthcare wearables is necessary in the field of clothing.

Emerging industrial root technologies: a structural topic model- and topic matrix analysis-based approach

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify emerging industrial root technologies from the unstructured text of journal papers, in order to establish a research and development (R&D) strategy. Hence, a structural topic model and topic matrix analysis were employed to evaluate the promising topics in Korean and international root technology papers, published from 2011 to 2019, from a domestic perspective. Subsequently, 75 topics in the main research domains of root technology were identified. Of these identified topics, five requiring leading R&D and five requiring follow-up R&D were selected based on priority: ‘Corrosion’, ‘device current–voltage characteristics’, ‘electrode’, ‘carbide alloy’, and ‘titanium alloy’ were determined to be the leading R&D topics, whereas ‘material applications’, ‘photocatalytic activity’, ‘additive manufacturing’, ‘ductility’, and ‘high-entropy alloy’ were determined to be the follow-up R&D topics. These results are significant because journal articles were used to determine emerging technologies according to the differences between the research published in Korean and international journals.

Analysis of research trends in Korean dentistry journals by assigning MeSH to author keywords.

Researchers seek to identify optimal journals for submission based on their studies but tend to rely on journal impact factors or scientific journal rankings. We investigated research trends by selecting high-frequency words from author keywords (AKs), analyzing subject areas, and performing quantitative data analysis of Korean dental journals. Consequently, we suggest a method for choosing journals that fit a specific subject area.We used a corpus of 9 Korean dentistry journals regarded in Korea as quality internationally approved journals. AKs occurring more than 10 times were assigned to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and subcategories, which were then categorized using the MeSH tree structure. KnowledgeMatrix Plus and VOSviewer were used to analyze network relationships, density, and clustering.The AKs were of 7527 types, 15,960 terms, and formed 54 clusters. The AKs with 10+ occurrence were 199 types, 4289 terms, and formed 9 clusters. Assigning the AKs with 10+ occurrence to MeSH terms led to expanding 732 types of AK terms into 249 types with 9 clusters and 4268 links. Core study areas over the past 10 years were facial asymmetry, a topic under oral surgery and medicine, and orthognathic surgery focused on mandibular fractures, followed by shear bond strength of zirconia. Analyzing 16 MeSH subject categories, we found that the "analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and equipment" category had the largest distribution of AKs (40.7%). This was followed by "diseases" (21.2%) and "anatomy" (14.90%). The orthognathic surgery cluster was the largest, followed by the shear bond strength cluster. Dental implants is a core area with strong links to high-occurrence words, such as cone-beam computed tomography and mandible, which were distributed in the order of The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics (37.8%) and Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science (30.6%). Five clusters were closely packed in the center, 2 clusters were formed above the center, 1 cluster was formed below the center, and a cluster on the right was widespread.Cluster analysis using AKs and MeSH may be a good analytic method for researchers to determine expanding research areas and select optimal journals for paper submission.

Social Network Analysis of Research Keywords on the Leisure Industry in Korea

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was: (1) Firstly, do the keywords of the leisure industry research change by period? and (2) Secondly, what keywords symbolize the leisure industry research and how is the detailed research area organized? METHOD This study is conducted to search journal articles on Korea Citation Index(KCI) site to identify research trends related to leisure industry. To achieve this goal, we performed semantic network analysis on 1,069 papers of 328 Korean journals related the studies on leisure industry, which were published between 2002 and 2019. The Netminer was employed to conduct the semantic network analysis. RESULT Firstly, keywords such as sports, tourism, satisfaction, service, water, resource, and policy appeared to be important in the 2000s, while in the 2010s, keywords such as sports, tourism, brand, design, satisfaction, service, and market appeared to be important in the study of the leisure industry by period. Secondly, the co-occurrence word pairs appeared in the order of leisure-sport, leisure-marine, activity-leisure, industry-sport, quality-service, leisure-tourism, design-marine, and sport-tourism. Keywords with high centrality that appeared to be important included sports, tourism, brand, service, design, satisfaction, and culture. The areas of detailed research were found to be seven areas: sports and tourism, leisure and space, service and education, customer and satisfaction, marine and experience, industry and culture, and brand and design. CONCLUSION The semantic network was very useful for elucidating the academic characteristics by visualizing the research trend in the leisure industry in Korea.

A Literature Review of Studies on Addiction-Related Nursing Research Published in Korea from 2010-2020

A literature review was conducted to explore the trends in studies on addiction-related nursing research. The study examined articles that had both ‘addiction’ and ‘nursing’ as key words and were published in the period of 2010-2020 in major Korean nursing and health-related journals.
 Fifteen articles suitable for literature review were analysed. The majority of the articles were on smartphone addiction. With regards to study design, two qualitative studies were conducted to analyse subjects' experiences, and 13 correlation studies were conducted to analyse relationships between variables. Future addiction-related nursing research should include intervention studies to verify the effectiveness of variables.

Improved Method for Considering Citation Measures in Evaluating Korean Journals

Improved Method for Considering Citation Measures in Evaluating Korean Journals

Compliance of “Principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing” in Korean academic society-published journals listed in Journal Citation Reports

Purpose: The “Principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing” are of increasing importance in an open science environment as a way to increase the transparency and quality of academic society journals. However, little previous research has investigated the application of this new guideline in practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which this guideline is being applied by Korean academic society– published journals listed in Journal Citation Reports.Methods: The researchers investigated the homepages of 59 Korean academic society– published journals to evaluate whether they had adopted the 33 items listed in the guideline. Based on the information available on the journals’ homepages, each item was classified as ‘yes’ or ‘no’ within the four categories of basic journal information, publication ethics, copyright and archiving information, and profit model.Results: The basic journal information category was generally well-practiced, with the exceptions of the peer review process, readership, and author fees. The copyright and licensing information category was also well-practiced, with the exception of policies on posting accepted articles with third parties and archiving items. However, most items in the publication ethics category were not well practiced, with the exception of authorship and intellectual property. All items in the profit model category were infrequently implemented.Conclusion: These findings serve as a good indicator for Korean journal editors of areas for improvement. It may be helpful to review journals’ publication policies and homepages to comply with international publishing standards.

History of the Scopus Expert Content Selection and Advisory Committee of Korea

With the objective of improving the quality of Korean journals and elevating them to international standards, the National Research Foundation of Korea, in consultation with Elsevier, formed the Scopus Expert Content Selection and Advisory Committee-Korea (ECSAC-Korea) as a local selection committee in August 2012. The committee reviews Korean journals for Scopus indexing and recommends them to the Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board. In September 2019, ECSAC-Korea became part of the Korean Council of Science Editors (KCSE). This article describes the current status of Scopus indexing in Korea and the history, organizational structure, and role of ECSAC-Korea as part of the KCSE. The article also introduces the members of ECSAC-Korea and the KCSE steering committee for Scopus ECSAC-Korea, who have been active since September 2019.

Changes in bibliographic information associated with Korean scientific journals from 2011 to 2019

Purpose: This study aimed to examine how the bibliographic information of 558 journals that applied for the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies funding in 2011 changed from 2011 to 2019, with the goal of informing the development of Korean scientific journals.Methods: Between May and October 2012, bibliographic information from 558 journals was obtained from PDF files for the print versions of one issue of 2011 and the journal homepages. In August 2019, the bibliographic information of the same journals was traced based only on the journal websites. We compared bibliographic information.Results: Excluding 14 journals that were discontinued or integrated with other journals prior to the follow-up in 2019, 544 journals were compared. Over the 8-year period, 121 journals underwent title changes. The number of journals with eISSNs (electronic International Standard Serial Number) increased from 214 (39.3%) in 2011 to 488 (89.7%) in 2019. “Aims and scope” descriptions were found for 291 journals (53.5%) in 2011 and 482 (88.6%) in 2019. The number of English-only journals increased from 163 (30.0%) to 227 (41.7%), and the number of journals with an open access policy rose from 92 (16.9%) to 315 (57.9%). Journals with DOI (digital object identifier) prefixes increased from 256 (47.1%) to 536 (98.5%).Conclusion: The increased frequency of the above bibliographic information is evidence of the globalization of local journals. However, even in 2019, some journals still lacked the necessary bibliographic information. For better dissemination and promotion of Korean scientific journals, editors and publishers should more critically consider the proper inclusion of information on journal websites.

Analysis of Korean journals rejected by Scopus since 2011

This paper aims to provide publishers and societies who plan to apply for their journals to be listed in Scopus with critical guidelines to evaluate their performance from an objective, globally-informed perspective. It presents a qualitative case study of how applications of Korean journals to Scopus have been evaluated over a 9-year period (2011–2019). A content analysis was conducted of 106 applications that were rejected by the Content Selection and Advisory Board, according to a combination of 14 quantitative and qualitative selection criteria. This case study was used to categorize instances of failure and to illustrate practical strategies for local journals to use when applying to Scopus based on the lessons to be learned from rejected cases. The results of the analysis show that local journals should enhance the quality of the articles they publish, review why the journal should be considered international, and clearly address editorial policies and the concept, scope, and strategies of the journal.

Trends of Concept Development in Nursing Published in Korean Journals

The purpose of this study was to identify trends of nursing concept development in Korean journal papers to improve accurate understanding of nursing concepts. A systematic review of 216 concept development articles published from 1970 to 2018 that met the inclusion criteria was conducted using Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) databases. The most common method of concept development was Walker and Avant's concept analysis method, identified in 139 (64.3%) of the 216 studies, followed by 48 examples of hybrid models (22.2%) and 15 examples of evolutionary methods (6.9%). Chinn and Kramer's method, Norris's clarification, Wilson's method, and others were also used. The concepts of "spirituality" and "fatigue" were most frequently analyzed. Among the 139 studies that used Walker and Avant's concept analysis method, 127 studies (91.4%) applied all the recommended steps; the others applied the recommended steps partially, omitting description of model cases/additional cases, antecedents/consequences, and empirical indicators. Among the studies using the hybrid model, among two (5.7%) did not describe attributes, three (8.5%) did not provide definitions, and 16 (45.7%) did not present empirical indicators in the final stage. Among concept development studies published in Korean journals, Walker and Avant's concept analysis method is most commonly used. In case of most studies using Walker and Avant's method a suitable concept analysis process is applied, but in case of other studies using the other concept development method, a suitable concept analysis process is not applied. Therefore, a suitable concept analysis process must be applied for concept development in nursing research.

Two Brothers

Two Brothers Hee-June Choi (bio) “Stubborn text, but I love the myths,” I said.You told me my faith is like a baby’s,and a bad influence on the rest of our Bible group.I said, “Dear brother, you are a baby badger.” When a picture of the doomed MH 17was posted on Facebookby an on-board passenger, he wrote,“If the plane disappears, I am here.” You said, “Hope he was a believer. Otherwiseit’ll be hard for God to find him in the smoking baggage.”That evening the World Cup was on TV, both benchesfrantically making the sign of the cross on their chests. At midnight, the moon was on my foot,my foot looked like a marble sculptureof St Paul walking to Damascusunder the moonlight. You said, “I’m a son of a bitch. When called to go east,I go west. But I believe the Book of Jonah.”So I said, “Why not wipe the smirk off your face beforesaying that?” “God’s given you everything you wanted on earth,”you said. “If the gate to Heaven opens tomorrow,would you go?”I said, “Nope.” Angelic yawp! My daughter was furious to findher baby barefoot in the street, holding a dandelion.I did promise I’d watch him. When he handed methe dandelion, I was a sudden angel.

Status of Editing and Publishing of Scholarly Journals by Academic Societies of Science and Technology in Korea.

BackgroundThe present study analyzed publishing data of scholarly journals which were published in 2018 by academic societies of science and technology in Korea to observe journal editing and publishing status.MethodsA total of 346 regional journals (59 natural science, 118 engineering, 44 agriculture, fisheries, and oceanography, and 125 medical and pharmacy) and 141 international journals (32 natural science, 43 engineering, 12 agriculture, fisheries, and oceanography, 54 medical and pharmacy) were included in this analysis, which applied the journal review by the Korea Federation of Science and Technology. Websites of the journals and the submitted publication data in 2019 were reviewed.ResultsExcept for a few journals, all of the journals were published by academic societies. Basic information of journals was well displayed by both offline and online. Most of the 346 regional journals were published in Korean language or mixed with English but 77 (22.3%), mostly medical, were in English. One-third (n = 104) journals published less than 40 articles while 9 published over 200, and 261 journals (75.4%) received less than 100 submissions in 2018. Most (n = 298, 86.1%) of them were enlisted in the Korean Citation Index (KCI). Editorial board members performed manuscript editing in 171 (49.4%) journals, and most of the journals paid < 50,000,000 won for publishing costs. Of 141 international journals, 138 (97.9%) were published in English and all of them published overseas submissions. Forty-one (29.1%) journals accepted < 20% of submissions but 58 (41.1%) accepted 100%. Of them, 124 (87.9%) were indexed in the KCI, 93 (66.0%) in the Web of Science, 120 in Scopus, and 62 in PubMed. Editorial board members in 38 (27.0%) journals took responsibility of manuscript editing. Publishing cost of 79 (56.0%) journals was < 50,000,000 won. Only 157 (32.2%) of total 487 journals, mostly medical, documented gendered innovation in their instruction to authors.ConclusionMost of the Korean science and technology journals keep global standard of editing and publishing. Their offline and online visibility is acceptable but most regional journals are small and of low academic impact while international journals are globally indexed and acknowledged. Korean scholarly journals should invite more and better articles to keep quality publication.
