모발분야의 연구동향에 대한 계량서지학적 분석

Abstract

This study bibliometrically analyzed the attributes of intellectual research which is expressed through the signature of hair-related papers in the domestic academic journal. The study results revealed that a total of 824 papers were published from 1959 to 2013. In terms of research method trends, the analysis of effectiveness was most common. According to analysis of the words derived from the signature, ‘hair’ was most frequently searched for at 623 times, followed by ‘effectiveness analysis (145 times),’ ‘dyeing (117 times),’ ‘hair loss (80 times),’ ‘permanent wave (69 times),’ ‘hair damage (67 times)’ and ‘scalp (58 times).’ After investigating the usage of the words in the paper signature, similar words were grouped and classified by similarity depending on research topic. In this case, ‘hair for hairdressing’ was the highest with 873 cases, followed by ‘hair (262 cases),’ ‘dyeing (223 cases)’ and ‘scalp (89 cases).’ In terms of the social functions of hair, ‘hair science’ was the highest with 432 cases, followed by ‘hair health (132 cases),’ ‘hair industry (130 cases)’ and ‘hair psychology (68 cases).’ The development of a systematic word system in the hair industry could be a framework for future research activities. The analysis of research trends by year is aimed to determine into which sector these research activities have converged or are related to. In order for the beauty sector to be established as a field for study, it is necessary to establish an academic system through the selection of beauty-related terminologies in a logical manner in future studies. In addition, it is necessary to perform an integrated and converged study by examining the research methods between the beauty industry and other sectors.
