An expert search method using a large amount of academic data that can provide users with representative research results and advice is required. Since the existing expert search methods perform the expert search based on user profile or activity information, they have a problem that it is hard to discriminate the expert when we do not know the user profile or activity information.In this paper, we propose an academic expert search method using the importance and quality of a paper. The importance of a paper is computed by considering its scarcity and up-to-date topics. The quality of a paper is evaluated by considering the number of citations, IF of Journal, recency and author relations. To show the superiority of the proposed method, we compare it with the existing scheme through the performance evaluation in terms of recall and precision ■ keyword :|Expert Search|Paper Quality|Paper Importance|Academic Information|Academic Search|

Combining Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, value–belief–norm theory, and social exchange theory, this study explores the impact of individualism and social cohesion on pro-environmental behavior (PEB) as well as the moderating role of social cohesion in the individualism–PEB link in the context of Korean society. Using the 2021 Korean General Social Survey and multiple linear regression analyses, we found that individualism is negatively related to PEB, whereas social cohesion is positively related to PEB. Further analysis showed that social cohesion attenuates the negative relationship between individualism and PEB. Our findings suggest that although individuals with high levels of individualism are less likely to perform PEB than those with a high level of collectivism, social cohesion is a valuable community resource that encourages them to engage in eco-friendly activities even when they seek to achieve person-oriented goals and pursue their own interests. The implications and contributions of these findings regarding environmental psychology are discussed.
