Asbestos is a generic term referring to six types of naturally occurring mineral fibers that are or have been commercially exploited. Asbestos fibers historically have been used in a broad variety of industrial applications. The main characteristic properties of asbestos fibers that can be exploited in industrial applications are their thermal, electrical, and sound insulation. In order to keep human health from the risk of asbestos, it is necessary to the diversification of asbestos-related research, improve environmental issues of country. Thus, the researchers and managers of the asbestos area are need to partnership and cooperation with the internationally excellent researchers, organizations. In this study, we analysed total 2,141 dissertations for the asbestos during the 2001∼2012 periods by the programs of ‘web of science’ and ‘recently developed program by Korea Institute of science technology Information’. The results of analysis, Asbestos study led by the United States, the follow Italy and Japan.
석면은 상업적으로 이용되거나 6종류의 자연발생 광물섬유를 말하는 일반적인 용어이다. 산업응용 면에서 사용된 석면특성은 열, 전기 및 절연성을 가지고 있으므로 석면섬유는 역사적으로 광범위한 산업분야에 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 석면의 위해성으로부터 인간 건강 유지를 위해서는 국내의 석면관련 연구의 다변화, 환경문제 개선이 필요하므로, 석면 분야의 연구자 및 관리자들은 세계적으로 우수한 연구자, 기관들과 협력관계를 유지할 필요가 있다. 학술정보 분석은 검색어 ‘asbestos*’를 가지고 ‘Web of science’의 DB에서 2001년 이후 12년간을 검색한 결과, 총 2,141건을 검색할 수 있었으며, 이를 근거로 한국과학기술정보연구원이 자체 개발한 “경쟁자 분석 서비스(COMPAS)”를 위한 정보 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 석면에 관련된 발표문헌의 연도별, 국가별, 연구기간별, 연구자별 현황 등을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 석면연구는 미국이 선도적인 역할을 하고 있으며, 다음은 이태리와 일본이다.
