행정학 학문공동체의 공동연구 네트워크 구조에 관한 연구:1998-2009년간 24개 행정학 학술지의 논문공저자 네트워크의 분석을 중심으로

초록

The purpose of this study is 1) to explore hidden patterns of network structures in the public administration academic community through social network analysis, and 2) to explain the influences of the structural properties of authors on their academic performance through regression analysis. This study gathers coauthor relation data from 24 public administration journals as well as author attribute data from various sources. The analysis results can be summarized into three main findings. First, the Public Administration academic community displays a high level of academic collaboration. In other words, the coauthor network in public administration is relatively well connected compared to other academic collaboration networks. Second, academicians who participate in small and fragmented components of the network are socially more reputable, but show a lower level of performance than members in the main component of the network. Finally, while degree and betweenness centrality are positively associated with academic performance, closeness centrality is negatively associated with the academic performance of authors.
