  • Korean Journals in the Science Citation Index: What Do They Reveal About the Intellectual Structure of S&T in Korea? Scientometrics (Forthcoming)
    Korean journals in the Science Citation Index: What do they reveal about the intellectual structure of S&T in Korea? Scientometrics (forthcoming) Han Woo PARK YeungNam University, Korea (South) [email protected]; [email protected] http://www.hanpark.net & Loet Leydesdorff Amsterdam School of Communications Research (ASCoR), University of Amsterdam Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected]; http://www.leydesdorff.net Abstract During the last decade, we have witnessed a sustained growth of South Korea’s research output in terms of the world share of publications in the Science Citation Index database. However, Korea’s citation performance is not yet as competitive as publication performance. In this study, the authors examine the intellectual structure of Korean S&T field based on social network analysis of journal-journal citation data using the ten Korean SCI journals as seed journals. The results reveal that Korean SCI journals function more like publication places, neither research channels nor information sources among national scientists. Thus, these journals may provide Korean scholars with access to international scientific communities by facilitating the respective entry barriers. However, there are no citation relations based on their Korean background. Furthermore, we intend to draw some policy implications which may be helpful to increase Korea’s research potential. Keywords: Korea, science citation index, national journals, social network analysis, science and technology, citation network 1 Introduction During the last decade, we have witnessed a sustained growth of South Korea’s research output in terms of the world share of publications in the Thomson ISI database. According to the Korean Institute of Science & Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP), there were 23,048 publications with at least one Korean address among the authors in the National Science Indicator 2006 of the Thomson ISI (KISTEP, 2006).

  • PCCP Asian Symposia 2012 Abstract
    PCCP Asian Symposia 2012 28 September 2012 Institute of Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Science (ICCAS), Beijing, China 1 October 2012 WPI - MANA, National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan 4 October 2012 Seoul National University, Korea www.rsc.org/pccp Registered Charity Number 207890 PCCP Asian Symposia 2012 Welcome address I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all speakers and attendees at the PCCP Asian Symposia. These three international symposia – in Beijing, Tsukuba and Seoul - are an opportunity to showcase outstanding physical chemistry research, and underline the strong and vital links between PCCP and the research communities PCCP serves both in Asia and beyond. PCCP goes from strength to strength, and is currently enjoying record levels of submissions. Since launch in 1999, PCCP has grown in both size and impact to become the premier journal spanning the broad physical chemistry research fields. A truly international journal, PCCP continues to enjoy very low publication times, offering rigorous yet fair peer review to researchers from all countries. These symposia underline the broad diversity of research in PCCP, and the journal’s strong connections with Asia. PCCP is a Society journal, co-owned by seventeen national Societies and published for the benefit of the scientific community. I am especially delighted to welcome the Korean Chemical Society (KCS) as the newest co-owner of PCCP. My sincerest thanks naturally go to the local organisers, sponsors and co-sponsors, whose dedication, generosity and hard work has enabled the three symposia to come to fruition. Of course, PCCP exists and thrives because of the support of authors, readers, referees, Editors, Board members and the wider physical chemistry research community.

The latter material with composition of 0.3Li2MnO3.0.7Li0.97Na0.03Mn0.33Ni0.33Co0.33O2, synthe- sized as 200–300 nm size particles, was compared to its counterpart without Na. The discharge rate capability of the Li-rich NMC was greatly improved at both room temperature and 50◦C with the Na doping. The Na doped material exhibited significantly higher conductivity than its un-doped analog as evidenced by dc electronic conductivity data and impedance of Li cells. Charge/discharge cycling results of Li cells at 50◦C indicated that the voltage decay of Li-rich NMC accompanied by a layer to spinel structural conversion was mitigated with Na doping. XRD analysis revealed that ionic exchange of Na occurs upon contact of the cathode material with the electrolyte and produces a volume expansion of the crystal lattice which triggers a favorable metal (probably Ni) migration to Li depleted regions during oxidation of Li2MnO3 in the first cycle.
