Abstract

Altmetrics is the measurement index and quantitative data to complement the traditional indicators based on the citation. Altmetrics research has acquired greater importance in the past few years, partly due to the complement to the traditional bibliometrics. This paper aims to reveal the research status and trends in altmetrics research. A total of 187 articles from 2005 to 2017 are obtained and analyzed, illustrating a steady rise (S-mode) in altmetrics research since 2005. Using social network analysis and co-word analysis, the author cooperation network and keyword co-occurrence network are developed. The core scientists and eight international research groups are discovered, reflecting that researchers in this field have a low degree of cooperation. Four topics of altmetrics research are discovered by hierarchical clustering. The results can be useful for the advanced research of altmetrics.

알트메트릭스는 인용을 기반으로 한 전통적인 지표를 보완하기 위한 측정 지표이면서 정략적 데이터이다. 이러한 알트메트릭스 에 관한 연구는 지난 몇 년간 전통적인 계량 정보학의 보완에 힘입어 중요한 비중을 차지해오고 있다. 본 논문은 알트메트릭스 연구 현황과 동향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 총 187건의 논문을 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 2005년이후로 알트메트릭스 연구에 지속적인 상승이 있음을 알 수 있다. 소셜 네트워크 분석과 co-word 분석을 사용하여 저자 협동 네트워크와 키워드 공존 네트워크를 구축한다. 계층적 클러스터링으로 4개의 알트메트릭스 연구가 발견되었으며, 그 결과는 알트메트릭스의 추후 연구에 매우 유용할 수 있다.
