[20-15] Research on emerging issue analysis and online platform development

l Although many studies have predicted and responded such as paradigms and trends, it is not easy to prepare countermeasures to address emerging issues due to the unclear direction of change, its rapid pace, and the difficulty of rational prediction.

l The purpose of this study is to find patterns that match the definitions of emerging issues in large-scale data covering multiple disciplines in order to quickly discover emerging issues and implement an online platform.

l This study focuses on defining emerging issues, devising novelty and scalability-based detection methodologies based on definitions, and applying the methodology to analyze real-world applications for comprehensive social issues.

l This study will be promoted in stages in the future, and this year's study will focus on novelty and scalability among the features of emerging issues; consistency, ripple effects, and influence will be dealt with through future linked studies.

l For analysis, three clusters are selected from the Leiden cluster (WoS-based) that contains various issues in the fields of S&T and humanities and society. As a result, emerging issue candidates of #49 were Innovative Leadership, Job Satisfaction, Mediation Role, Coordination Role, and Organizational Citizen Behavior. Those of #985 were Relationship Quality, Social Support, Weak Family, Socioeconomic Status, and Instability. #1346 were related to Land Use, Carbon, Social Cost, and Bioenergy.

l Through the linkage of follow-up research, we are goint to carry out evaluation and methodology on issues derived from this year's study, and develop new indicators to detect emerging issues and implement the online platform.
