논문심사제도의 문제점과 개선방안 －「일본언어문화」를 중심으로－

Abstract

This study set out to identify problems with the paper examination system of the Japanology circles and propose their improvement measures by reflecting on the nature of research in the Japanology circles and analyzing the examination materials of five years at『Japanese Language & Culture』that is the journal of Japanese Language & Culture Association of Korea. Problems with the current paper examination system stem from the uniform research management system due to the lack of understanding of the academic area, which does not produce many papers. Since they have to present a good number of papers through abnormal academic activities, the examination system by the association that manages them is run in irrational methods that only meet the form requirement. Since the National Research Foundation of Korea established the society management system, the Japanology circles have distorted their paper presentations. The present study discussed the nature of research that the Japanology circles should pursue and the methods to implement it in order to promote normal academic activities and improve the research environment. Furthermore, the study reviewed whether the composition of the editorial committee that managed the publication of 『Japanese Language & Culture』was effective for fair examinations along with the regulations of paper submission and edition and the overall aspects from examination to publication. By analyzing paper contributors and examiners in the paper examination materials of 『Japanese Language & Culture』 for five years, the study specified the irrationalities of paper examination in objective data and proposed a paper examination system to supplement it.
