“…In Korea, many research outcomes still have been published in the domestic journals in the Korean language. Articles written in English are only 30 per cent of total article (Shin et al, 2015), meanwhile the rate of foreign articles which Korean researchers have cited are only 50 per cent in general, except in natural, engineering and medical science fields (Choi et al, 2011). Lately, attempt to register some Korean journals into the international citation index database has been carried out.…”

Purpose Alternative metrics (altmetrics) are non-traditional metrics to measure the social impact of research results, which were unable to be assessed by the previous methods, by calculating how research results are reflected in various social media. The purpose of this paper is to measure and compare the impact of Korean study results in four fields that were published in international journals using altmetrics. Design/methodology/approach This study analysed the impact of 383 Korean research articles published by international journals in the field of medical science, engineering, social science and arts and humanities through altmetrics and compared it with bibliometrics. Findings As a result, the frequency of research articles which are “discussed” through social media such as Twitter was shown to be highest in the medical science than in other fields. In addition, the frequency of research articles which were “saved” through reference management tool such as Mendeley was shown to be higher in the social science and the arts and humanities than in other fields. Furthermore, as a result of a correlation analysis between altmetrics and bibliometrics, it is found that there exists a positive correlation between the number of articles which were “saved” in Mendeley and “cited” in follow-up studies. Originality/value This study examined the impact of the articles originating in non-English-speaking nations; it could be referred by other non-English-speaking nations that are trying to identify invisible impact of their research output on global society. By finding the academic field which are receiving special attention from global community using altmetrics, researchers could prospect country’s overall research impact and utilize it to make a future R&D plan.

“…Citation analysis, a widely used method in bibliometrics, is the examination of the frequency and patterns of citations in scholarly literatures. Many researchers have conducted research for finding discernible patterns in citation such as preference of information type, information life cycle, collaborations among researchers, and demands for current information in academic fields or by researchers (Choi et al, 2011).…”

“…There are some studies on citation patterns of Korean journals; several articles have conducted citation language analysis on Korean journals (Cho, 2010;Choi, 1996;Choi et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2011), while others include citation country analysis on Korean journals (Cho & Cho, 2005;Lancaster et al, 1990;Kim, 2002;Kim, 2003). However, all of the studies have conducted the citation patterns of Korean authors other than cited patterns of Korean journal articles.…”

Citing literature is a very important activity for scholars in writing articles. Many publishers and libraries build citation databases and provide citation reports on scholarly journals. Cited-by linking is a service representing what an article cites and how many times it cites a specific article within a journal database. Recently, information services based on DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) have been increasing in number. CrossRef, a non-profit organization for the DOI registration agency, maintains the DOI system and provides the cited-by linking service. Recently, the number of Korean journals adopting DOI is also rapidly increasing. The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) supports Korean learned societies in DOI related activities in collaboration with CrossRef. This study analyzes cited patterns of Korean DOI journal articles using CrossRef's cited-by linking data and a Korean journal citation database. This analysis has been performed in terms of publication country and the language of journals citing Korean journal articles. The results show that DOI, SCI(E) (Science Citation Index (Expanded)), and English journals are more likely to be cited internationally
