Baker Professor of Education and Sociology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Soo-yong Byun Associate Professor of Education Maryellen Schaub Associate Professor of Education Education and Public Policy Liying Luo Assistant Professor of Sociology and Demography Katerina Bodovski Associate Professor of Education Chair of Graduate Program, Educational Theory and Policy *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT Since 1970, when Korean researchers published the first journal article from their country to be cataloged in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), science production has exponentially expanded among Korean universities. This rapid growth was not driven by a few specific institutions. Rather, it was possible because virtually all universities with STEM programs, regardless of their institutional mission, participated in scholarly publishing. Meanwhile, the Korean government implemented a special research funding initiative, Brain Korea 21, in 1999 to stimulate science production among universities. Using multilevel linear regression models, this dissertation examines the effect of the BK 21 program; it finds that BK 21 had a positive effect on publications, but that its effect turned insignificant when more comparable groups of universities were examined. This research also demonstrates that the scientific collaboration network in Korea has moved from one strongly dominated by a few specific actors to one with more actors participating more equally and significantly.

  • Course Analysis of Library and Information Science in Korea
    information Article Course Analysis of Library and Information Science in Korea Yelim Mo, Euntaek Seon, Goun Park and Haklae Kim * The Department of Library and Information Science, Chung-Ang University, 84 Heukseok-ro, Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 06974, Korea; [email protected] (Y.M.); [email protected] (E.S.); [email protected] (G.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 October 2019; Accepted: 25 December 2019; Published: 27 December 2019 Abstract: Curriculums play a key role in implementing the educational goals and directions of a university. Universities regularly update their curriculums to actively respond to internal and external environmental changes. Korean universities face challenges, including a steady decline in enrollment and demand-oriented convergence education. Because of the nature of convergence science, library and information science should respond more actively to new challenges. This study analyzes the current status of library and information science courses according to subjects and universities. Data was collected from the websites of each university, and various methods such as text analysis, frequency analysis, and network analysis were applied to investigate current status of LIS in Korea. Keywords: library and information sciences; course; curriculum; data analysis 1. Introduction Library and information science (LIS) is the study of the theory and practice of processing, retrieving, collecting, distributing, using, manipulating, and accumulating information resources through a link with information technology (IT) [1]. In general, LIS consists of library science, which is the starting point of the study; bibliography, which focuses on the analysis and interpretation of books; records management, which focuses on the management and preservation of records; information science, which focuses on information access and processing; and knowledge organization, which is about document indexing and classification performed in libraries.
