Abstract

Interdisciplinary approach has been recognized as one of key strategies to address various and complex research problems in modern science. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interdisciplinary characteristics and structure of the field of big data. Among the 1,083 journals related to the field of big data, multiple Subject Categories (SC) from the Web of Science were assigned to 420 journals (38.8%) and 239 journals (22.1%) were assigned with the SCs from different fields. These results show that the field of big data indicates the characteristics of interdisciplinarity. In addition, through bibliographic coupling network analysis of top 56 journals, 10 clusters in the network were recognized. Among the 10 clusters, 7 clusters were from computer science field focusing on technical aspects such as storing, processing and analyzing the data. The results of cluster analysis also identified multiple research works of analyzing and utilizing big data in various fields such as science & technology, engineering, communication, law, geography, bio-engineering and etc. Finally, with measuring three types of centrality (betweenness centrality, nearest centrality, triangle betweenness centrality) of journals, computer science journals appeared to have strong impact and subjective relations to other fields in the network.

현대사회의 다양하고 복잡한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 학문영역을 넘나드는 학제적 연구가 등장하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 다양한 영역에서 주목 받고 있는 빅데이터 분야를 대상으로 학제성을 규명하고 학제적 구조를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 빅데이터를 다룬 학술지 총 1,083종의 데이터를 수집하였다. 이 중 420종(38.8%)의 학술지에 둘 이상의 Web of Science SC범주가 부여되었고, 239종(22.1%)에 부여된 SC범주는 상이한 학문영역에 속하여 빅데이터 분야의 비교적 높은 학제성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 함께 논문 게재 상위 56종의 학술지를 대상으로 서지결합분석 네트워크를 생성한 결과 총 10개의 군집이 나타났다. 10개 군집 중 7개 군집이 컴퓨터공학 분야에 해당하여 대부분의 연구가 빅데이터의 저장, 처리, 분석 등 기술적인 부분에 집중되어 있었다. 이외에도 군집분석을 통해 과학기술, 공학, 커뮤니케이션, 법학, 지리학, 생명공학 등 다양한 분야에서 빅데이터의 분석과 활용에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 네트워크에서 매개중심성, 최근접중심성, 삼각매개중심성을 측정한 결과 컴퓨터공학 분야의 학술지들이 네트워크에 미치는 영향력이 크고 주제적 연관성이 강한 것으로 나타났다.
