Abstract

Recently, the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) announced new plan to reflect the KCI citation measures in journal evaluation. In principle, Journal evaluation should reflect each journals situation and characteristics through various indicators. In this study, three improvement plans were proposed by reviewing the announced journal evaluation plan of NRF. The first improvement is to consider the five-year IF as an additional citation measure; the second improvement is to allow flexible selection of the category level on which to rank journals; and the last improvement is to combine the previous two methods and apply them together. The improvement methods proposed in this study are expected to contribute to minimizing side effects of KCI journal evaluation.

최근 한국연구재단에서는 학술지평가에 KCI 인용지수를 반영하려는 계획을 발표하였다. 원칙적으로 학술지 평가는 다양한 지표를 통해서 개별 학술지의 상황과 특성을 최대한 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 예고된 학술지 인용지수 평가방안을 검토하여 세 가지 개선안을 제안하였다. 첫 번째 개선안은 인용지수로 5년 IF를 추가로 고려하는 것이고, 두 번째 개선안은 순위를 산출하는 범주 수준을 융통성 있게 선택하게 허용하는 것이며, 세 번째 개선안은 두 방법을 함께 적용하는 것이다. 이 연구에서 제안한 개선안은 KCI 학술지 평가의 부작용을 최소화하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
