행정학 학술논문의 소비패턴에 관한 연구: 지식사회학의 관점에서

초록

This study focuses on what influences the consumption of academic papers apart from the quality of the paper. Applying discussions from the science of sociology, this study proposes three variables which are expected to influence paper consumption. First, prominent perspectives during the early 2000s, new public management and new governance, are positively associated with academic paper consumption. Second, while the academic eminence of the author makes an impact on paper consumption, the social status of the author has no significant impact. Third, academic papers written by women are underconsumed compared to those by men. The results provide the public administration academic society of with good news as well as bad news. The good news is that the PA academic community is sound in that 1) PA scholars are very keen to the current PA paradigm, and 2) they consider academic performance of the author as a key factor in choosing to read and/or cite, rather than the social background of the author. However, the bad news is that gender discrimination still exists in academic society.
