초록
This study maps domestic versus international trajectories in metaverse‑game research via text mining of 203 papers published in 2020–2024 (Korean text: 125; international: 78). We applied structural-equivalence (CONCOR) analysis and estimated topics via latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). The top‑100 terms are visualized using word clouds. International keywords are led by systematic, technology, and rehabilitation/treatment, reflecting a strong emphasis on technological trends and clinical applications, whereas Korean studies foreground content and development alongside education and UX/immersion. Topic modeling yields four overseas themes (therapy/rehabilitation; mental health; digital accessibility; and education–entertainment convergence) and five Korean themes (technology & systems; UX/interface; healthcare & welfare; content; and platform). International work is dominated by literature studies (61/78; 78.2%), whereas Korean research centers on surveys and development (44 each; 35% apiece), with several case studies (20%). On the basis of these findings, we recommend more controlled experiments and meta‑analyses for Korean papers, and greater prototyping and field testing for international ones, in addition to stronger multidisciplinary collaboration.
