Many researchers have suggested careful application of bibliometric indicators to research evaluation because of many factors including disciplinary norms that influence the publication and citation behaviors of researchers. Although some researchers have examined different bibliometric patterns across disciplines, relatively few scholars have focused on whether research performance should be evaluated in a uniform manner across research domains within a single discipline, especially in a multi-disciplinary fields such as library and information science (LIS). In order to ascertain whether such subject-specific differences exist in the LIS field, we conducted a bibliometric study that examined the publication and citation patterns across subject areas of LIS research in Korea. The analysis of our study data, which consisted of 6,838 citations to 1,986 domestic papers published between 2001 and 2010 by 163 LIS faculty members in Korea, revealed some evidence of bibliometric pattern differences across subject areas. In particular, we found that the authors in Bibliographic Studies, who were almost twice as productive as authors in other subject areas, received the lowest citation counts, which might be attributed to their different publishing and citing behaviors. Publication and citation patterns across subject areas of LIS papers and observation of the possible effect of sub-disciplinary culture on citing behaviors suggest the need for subject-specific assessment of multidisciplinary research discipline such as LIS. In future studies, we will investigate different publication and citation behaviors of authors by subject areas.

按学科领域划分的韩国 LIS 研究的发表和引用模式

许多研究人员建议谨慎地将文献计量指标应用于研究评估，因为许多因素包括影响研究人员发表和引用行为的学科规范。尽管一些研究人员研究了跨学科的不同文献计量模式，但相对较少的学者关注是否应该在单个学科内的研究领域以统一的方式评估研究绩效，尤其是在图书馆和信息科学（LIS）等多学科领域）。为了确定 LIS 领域中是否存在此类特定学科的差异，我们进行了一项文献计量研究，该研究检查了韩国 LIS 研究学科领域的发表和引用模式。对我们的研究数据的分析，其中包括 6,838 次对 1 的引用，韩国 163 名 LIS 教员在 2001 年至 2010 年间发表的 986 篇国内论文揭示了跨学科领域文献计量模式差异的一些证据。特别是，我们发现书目研究中的作者几乎是其他学科领域作者的两倍，他们获得的引用次数最低，这可能归因于他们不同的发表和引用行为。LIS 论文跨学科领域的发表和引用模式以及对子学科文化对引用行为可能影响的观察表明，需要对多学科研究学科（如 LIS）进行特定学科评估。在未来的研究中，我们将按学科领域调查作者的不同发表和引用行为。
