Research on the network structure of scientific knowledge production has become a main concern, since it enables us to discern the structure of communication and knowledge diffusion among scientists. This study examines if the scientific collaboration network in Korea reveals the characteristics of the "small world" as in the Western scientific community and identifies the structural differences across he subfield of scientific research. We also attempt to identify the effect of network locations on scientific performance. We found that the collaboration network among Korean scientists can be characterized as a small world network, where the degree distribution fits the power aw, the path distances are close to the random network, and the clustering coefficient s much higher than that expected in the random network. There are structural differences across research fields; for instance, the network in Bio Technology area s inclusive, whereas the network in Information Technology is segmented. We also found that researchers who are the bridges or who are at the center of the network ire more productive. This confirms that the position in the collaboration network s associated with scientific productivity.
