This study analyzed the Army’s requirements planning system from the PMTE paradigm perspective and suggested a direction for development.The current government announced that it would simplify the defense acquisition process and improve the complexity, rigidity, and closedness of the planning system.At the time of rapid development of science and technology and troop reduction due to national defense reform, the Army’s requirements planning system was analyzed in terms of procedures, methods, tools, and environment.The research method was to collect keywords from previous research data, classify them into core elements by hierarchy from a PMTE perspective, and evaluate the importance of these core elements through AHP analysis, followed by concept research, a mixture of threat and competency-based evaluations, evaluation tools, and conceptual organization.In the future, research is needed on the specification of a technology-led requirements planning procedure and the formation of a preliminary research team for each military school, and there is a limitation in that it does not include problems in the requirements raising and decision process by analyzing it from a conceptual perspective.

Publication growth rates in Asia have been rapidly increasing since 2000. Amid this constant rise in the quantity of papers, however, concerns over the quality of research output in Asia have also increased. The purpose of this paper is to examine science and technology journals in Asia where research is burgeoning and to find ways to enhance the visibility and frequency of citation of articles published by non-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and developing countries in Asia. In this work, the research output of twelve countries in science and engineering over the last five years is studied, using the Scopus database. We compared publication growth, number of citations per publication, the field-weighted citation impact of publications, national and international collaboration rates, and the number of journals in each country found in the Scopus database. We find that a predominant number of research papers produced in developing Asian countries are in technology. Hence, most research papers produced in Asian regions appear to have lower citation rates and are often devaluated. We suggest this devaluation relates to an individual state’s strategy for national development, or policy priorities for choosing whether to invest primarily in basic science or applied science. Further, this work suggests that enhancing the accessibility and visibility of local academic journals can be conducive to enhancing the quality of research output, both in developing countries and in the world overall.

Purpose: Studies examining the subject coverage of journals within databases are crucial for scholars and researchers seeking appropriate venues for their articles. This study investigates the characteristics of Indonesian journals by subject area, as listed in GARUDA (Garba Rujukan Digital) and SINTA (Science Technology Index), the leading Indonesian journal databases, thereby addressing the need for mapping journal subject areas within a specific national context. Methods: We employed web mining techniques to collect records from 26,726 journals listed in GARUDA and 13,522 accredited journals from SINTA. Four aspects were analyzed: the breadth of subjects covered by each journal, the number of journals in each subject area, relationships among covered subjects, and the top publisher with the largest number of journals. Results: Most subject area information was available on both databases. Our analysis revealed that journals in GARUDA exhibited a broader range and coverage of subject areas than those in SINTA, with a median of two subjects per journal in GARUDA versus one in SINTA. Indonesian single-subject journals were predominantly focused on “education,” “social,” and “economy,” while multiarea journals most frequently combined subsets such as {“science,” “engineering”}, {“education,” “social”}, and {“education,” “social,” “humanities”}. Universitas Negeri Semarang, a higher education institution, emerged as a leading publisher with a diverse portfolio of journals across subject areas. Conclusion: This study presents a subject area map of Indonesian journals and underscores the critical role of higher education institutions in publishing across all subject areas. The findings illustrate the diversity and interrelationships among journal subject areas, providing a foundation for future research on their influence on journal impact, author diversity, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Purpose: This study used journals selected for the High Starting Point New Journal Project as the research sample to systematically compare changes in core development indicators before and after funding and to clarify Chinese authorities’ main journal-development priorities and requirements for newly founded journals. Methods: Journal data were retrieved from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Web of Science (WoS), and World Journal Clout Index (WJCI) databases. Wilcoxon signed rank tests with Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate corrections were applied to 14 bibliometric indicators. Results: After the funding period, the sample journals showed significant increases in article volume and the number of highly cited papers, indicating expanded publication scale and greater capacity to attract high-quality academic output. The Journal Impact Factor did not change significantly, whereas the average Journal Impact Factor percentile increased significantly; the Journal Citation Indicator showed a nominal increase that did not remain statistically significant after false discovery rate correction. The proportion of articles with non-Chinese authors decreased significantly. The number of author-origin countries or regions increased significantly, whereas the number of articles with non-Chinese authors did not change significantly. Conclusion: Chinese authorities’ primary expectation for newly founded journals appears to be that they serve the national scientific innovation system by consolidating their domestic development foundation, increasing their relative disciplinary influence and local service capacity, and then pursuing gradual, high-quality internationalization through steady expansion of global reach after stronger local development has been established. These findings provide empirical evidence that global publishers can use to refine development strategies for the Chinese market and that government agencies and academic organizations can use when launching new journals and designing supporting funding policies.

As data-based research activities and outcomes increase and ontact or non-face-to-face activities become common, the demand for easy utilization of resources, tools, functions, and easily accessible information required for research in the R&D sector has increased accordingly. With the rapid increase in the demand for collaborative research based on online platforms, research support institutions strive to provide venues for research activities that merge various information and functions. ScienceON, an integrated science & technology (S&T) knowledge infrastructure service developed and operated by the Korea Institute of S&T Information (KISTI), supports open collaboration by connecting and merging all the information, functions, and infrastructure required for research activities. This paper describes the online research activity support tool provided by ScienceON and the remarkable results achieved through this activity. Specifically, the excellent creation of the following flow of meta-material research activities in the ontact space is elucidated. First, the papers required for a meta-material analysis are retrieved, virtual simulation is conducted with the experimental data extracted from the papers, and research data are accumulated. ScienceON's tools for supporting ontact research activity will play a role as an important service in the era of digital transformation and open science.

In this study, articles of the science and technology field that had been monitored for the period from 2002 to 2013 using GTB (Global Trends Briefing) were analyzed. Specifically, the VOSviewer was used to analyze the annual science and technology trends by keyword and the science and technology standard-classification information indicated in the GTB articles, and the convergence trends were therefore monitored. The findings of this study show that active studies were under way in the fields of material science and new and renewable energy, and that convergence has progressed. This result indicates that the information of the articles on papers and patents is more reliable, as it can reflect the current trends more rapidly in the science and technology field than the paper information or the patent information that is traditionally used in analyses of science and technology information.

We examined changes in the number of authors per paper for science and technology papers (agricultural sciences, engineering and technologies, medical sciences, and natural sciences) in Korea. We employed the Scopus database to examine the change in the number of authors in papers, which were published from 2000 to 2015 in the 234 Korean academic journals indexed on Scopus. We found that the global trend of growth in the number of authors per paper is evident in Korea as well. While there was little evidence of a correlation with the citation per paper, a positive correlation was found between with the field-weighted citation impact, another measure of a paper’s impact, in medical and natural science papers. In terms of the type of collaboration, we found that international collaboration papers had the highest number of authors, followed by national and institutional collaborations. The number of authors per paper was highest for those published in the top 10% journals by Source Normalized Impact per Paper, followed by Scopus-indexed journals, while papers published in Korea Citation Index had the lowest number of authors per paper. We propose that the rise in the number of authors per paper in Korean papers may be ascribed to many Korean research programs encouraging group research and the widespread availability of the internet, which has stimulated joint research efforts and encouraged international collaboration.

We anticipate that this new alliance between The Korean Society of Animal Science and Technology and BioMedCentral will elevate our journal one step higher, and facilitate easier access for those overseas as well as domesticresearchers, who in turn will support us to contribute updated research outcomes in this field. We cordially invite allof you to participate and submit the results of your research so that everyone can learn and strive towards thegoals that we all share.

This research would be the first step toward in the long processes of proton technology industrial cluster development by focusing on the region's readiness and acceptability of the proton technology project. As is shown in our questionnaire survey, the top priorities needed to consider for the Proton Technology project are found to be job creation (mean 3.74), regional economic development (mean 3.72), industry infrastructure(3.54), institution for science and education(3.53), economic inequalities(3.33), tourism industry revitalization(3.20). For public servants top priorities in order found to be regional economic development, job creation, industry infrastructure, institution for science and education, economic inequalities, tourism industry revitalization. Universities' priorities in order found to be job creation, regional economic development, institution for science and education, industry infrastructure, economic inequalities, tourism industry revitalization. The mean reliability score for the each party was found to be mayor((3.04), citizens(2.99), province(2.97), private corporation(2.96), and universities((2.93). Of particular note, the mean score except the mayor were all below median (3.00). province(3.24), city council member(3.20), public employees (3.09), private corporation(3.03), nonprofit organization (2.97), mass media (2.96), citizens(2.96), and universities(2.89). The universities and colleges also should revise their strategic plans and thus restructure their internal academic programs, and must develop their own collaborative programs with Proton Engineering Frontier Project, related industries, city, and other government units. Not only educating, training, and providing top-notched man powers to the proton technology industries will be one of their primary missions.

The paper discusses the ICT infrastructure as far as the availability of (computers, local or wide area networks, Internet connectivity and its reliability, size of the bandwidth and its optimization, etc.) in the S&T research institution. It also examined the profile of the research scientists and looked at the type of ICT infrastructure that is available for their use as well as the reliability of the Internet connectivity within these research institutions. It looked at the broadband capacities of the research institutions and the ICT capabilities in respect of the technical and managerial support back-up that are available to the research institutions. The study used the survey research method with a questionnaire as well as personal observation to gather the data. From the data gathered, it was realized that the internet connectivity and the size of the bandwidth that the R&D institutions subscribed to differed significantly. Again, the extent to which the research scientists were able to access the internet in their respective institutions depended on the quality of the local network in place. Generally, the investments in ICT were made for different management objectives, and these were meant to facilitate the generation of new knowledge as well as make measurable improvements in R&D activities.

Purpose: This study aimed to define key research ethics and publication policy areas and assess policy disclosure among journals hosted on the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) academic publishing platform. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional content analysis of journal policy documents. Fifteen policy areas were identified based on international guidelines, domestic reports, prior studies, and publisher policies related to artificial intelligence (AI) and data sharing. Policies from 181 journals were collected on July 10, 2025, and each journal was coded according to whether each policy area was disclosed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize disclosure overall and according to subject field, access model, and indexing status. Results: Journals disclosed a mean of 8.29 policy areas out of 15. Five journals disclosed none of the areas, whereas three disclosed all 15. The most frequently disclosed areas were copyright (158 of 181, 87.3%) and duplicate publication (157 of 181, 86.7%), followed by plagiarism, authorship, and sanctions for misconduct. Emerging governance policies were uncommon: only 5 journals disclosed an AI policy, and 29 disclosed a data sharing policy. When present, AI policies addressed non-authorship, disclosure requirements, scope limitations, accountability, and restrictions on reviewer use. Disclosure rates varied across disciplines, with medicine and pharmacy journals showing the highest rates overall. Open access journals generally disclosed more policy areas than subscription journals, whereas indexing status showed no consistent pattern. Conclusion: Policy disclosure among journals hosted on the KISTI academic publishing platform remains incomplete and uneven, particularly with respect to AI and data sharing. To address these gaps, journals should adopt standardized policy templates and receive targeted platform-supported guidance to strengthen research ethics and publication governance in Korea.

For national industrial development in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is necessary to provide researchers with appropriate job information. This can be achieved by interconnecting the National Science and Technology Standard Classification System used for management of research activity with the Korean Employment Classification of Occupations used for job information management. In the present study, an automatic linkage model of classification systems is introduced based on a pre-trained language model for interconnecting science and technology information with job information. We propose for the first time an automatic model for linkage of classification systems. Our model effectively maps similar classes between the National Science & Technology Standard Classification System and Korean Employment Classification of Occupations. Moreover, the model increases interconnection performance by considering hierarchical features of classification systems. Experimental results show that precision and recall of the proposed model are about 0.82 and 0.84, respectively.

The study investigated the Integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the Library and Information Science Curriculum: The Practicum in Library Schools in Rivers State. Descriptive survey design was used with a population 374 comprising 21 LIS educators and 353 Four Hundred Level Library and Information Science Students from University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, and Ignatius Ajuru University of Education Port Harcourt. Census sampling technique was used to select the LIS educators and purposive sampling technique was used to the select the Four Hundred Level LIS students. Questionnaire and checklist were used for data collection. 90% and 97% responses were found valid for analysis for LIS Educators and LIS students respectively. The study was analyzed using mean rating, standard deviation and simple percentage. The study revealed that ICT courses were integrated into LIS curriculum in Library schools in Rivers State but LIS educators lacked the ICT skills to teach ICT practicum consequently, the students were not properly taught ICT practicum. However, students had positive perception of ICT practicum. Notwithstanding, lack of ICT skills, poor policy implementation, lack of state-of-the-art infrastructure and nonchalant attitudes of staff towards the adoption of ICT constituted the challenges faced in the implementation of ICT practicum. The study therefore, recommended that the management of library schools in Rivers State should implement ICT practicum by hiring competent staff maybe from computers science department to teach the practicum for the interim. Subsequently, recruitment of librarians should include strictly ICT compliant.
