The Present study deals with bibliometric analysis of articles and references provided at the end of each article contributed in Indian Journal of Chemistry Section B, Vol.52B , 2013.The study is carried out with a view to ascertain the types of documents most frequently used in the research process. The study indicates the authorship trend is towards team works rather than a work in isolation It is observed that most of the publications cited are articles in journals; the number of references in other kinds of documents such as books/monographs, conference proceedings, theses/dissertation etc. are small. Among the citations from journal literature, majority are from foreign journals though the journals of Indian origin have also extensively used by the researchers. The most frequently cited journal titles were Tetrahedron Letter, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Organic Chemistry. The findings from this study could help in deciding titles of journals to be acquired, to continue or discontinue a subscription for a library.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the publications reflected in the Library Assessment Conference
(LAC) Proceedings from2006 to 2014. Taking data fromthe online Library Assessment Conference Proceedings, we constructed a data set to study various bibliometric dimensions in terms of research topics, growth of literature, authorship distribution, and collaboration pattern. The finding suggest that, the contribution

Data for the study have been collected from the Scopus database for the period 1971 to 2014. Among the 2357 papers published in the span of 44 years, highest number of 319 papers was published in 2012. 2112 papers (89.6%) were published during the last ten years i.e. from 2005 to 2014. Journal is the most preferred channel of publication with 1633 papers. 'H' Index of PSGCT is 41. This study reveals that PSGCET has largely contributed to research in science, engineering and technology and the publication output of faculty has increased considerably during the last 10 years.
Analysis of 4141 citations appended to articles in volumes 44 to 57 of Annals of Library and Information Studies shows that the source journal is the most cited. The half life of LIS literature is found to be 9 years for journals and 14 years for books respectively.
