초록
The Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) journal publication is dominated by commercial publishers such as Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, John Wiley and Springer. The main focus of this research is to identify the challenges affecting the open access journal publication in Korea and to formulate recommendations for Korean open access journals publishing. The most interesting finding of this research is that the majority of STM journals are published by scientific societies. Many of the journals do not charge the open access publication fee. Korean STM journals have encountered four major challenges: getting their journal indexed in prestigious international citation indices such as Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), the government policy, shortage of finance, and insufficient number of quality manuscripts to publish. In order to overcome the challenges, financial support for non-SCIE indexed journals and programmes to train journal publication experts should be provided. The technical support for electronic journal publication and the support to overcome language barrier are also required.
