A bibliometric study on DC, RGT, and DT of Publications and Citations of ISTL Journal during 2010-2020
Abstract
This paper presents a bibliometric study on DC, RGT, and DT of Publications and Citations of ISTL Journal during 2010-2020. The study was based on 224 articles published in ISTL Journal during the years 2010-2020. This paper aims to analyze the Authorship distribution of the publication, degree of collaboration among authors, relative growth rate, and doubling time of publications and citations. It is found from the analysis that the degree of collaboration in ISTL publications is 0.5 i.e., equal to the standard DC. It means the progress of collaborative research neither slow nor so fast. It is in a balanced position. On the other hand, the relative growth rate is not in a stable position during the study period. The doubling time (Dt) rate for different years is increasing compared to the relative growth rate (RTG) during the study period. The relative growth rate of citations for the first three years i.e., 2010-2012 is the highest (mean value 0.45) and the rate of doubling time (Dt) of citations for different years is fluctuating.
Dr. Abdul M (Abed) Chaudhury allies Abed Chaudhury is a scientist of international reputation. He is an Australia-Bangladesh based gene scientist with a sound knowledge in genetics, crop breeding, molecular biology, human nutrition and biotech. Recent past, he is the pioneer of ‘Panchabrihi, -yields five times, a new rice cultivation method, a revolutionary innovation to agricultural research. This study is based on his 68 publications brought out during 1984-2023, throughout 40 years of his research career. It shows various aspects of his career. It tries to draw a scientific portrait of the scientist analyzing several bibliometric indicators. From the collected data of his biography and bibliography of research publications, this study quantitatively assesses the contributions of the scientist highlighting year wise growth of research products, authorship patterns, author productivity, research spectrum and co-authors, leading collaborative authors, scattering of publications in various communication channels, his most preferred journals, and relationships with degree of collaboration. It counts Citation Growth Rate according to citation received, uncited indexes and Relative citation impact in different Abstracting and Indexing Journals. Annual Growth rate, Relative Growth rate, and doubling time are also enumerated in this study. It also examines whether the data set follows Lotka’s Law and Badford’s Law or not.
Research on solar energy and waste-to-energy technologies has expanded due to the growing emphasis on sustainable energy sources, and scientometric studies have provided valuable insights for future directions in these areas. The study examines the scientometric trends and impact of research in solar energy and waste-to-energy from 2008 to 2022, focusing on key indicators such as citation rates, growth rates, publication efficiency, and collaboration patterns. The study analyzed 17,469 research papers on solar energy and 8,149 on waste-to-energy published from 2008 to 2022 using scientometric methods. Key indicators, such as average citations per paper, annual growth rate, exponential growth rate, activity index, publication efficiency index, relative growth rate, doubling time, and degree of collaboration, were calculated. The highest average citation per paper was 64.30 for solar energy and 86.09 for waste-to-energy. The peak annual growth rate (AGR) was 50.00 in 2006 for solar energy and 38.64 in 2020 for waste-to-energy. Exponential growth rates reached 1.50 in 2013 for solar energy (585 publications) and 1.39 in 2020 for waste-to-energy (1,062 publications). The activity index was highest in 2022, with 144.05 for solar energy and 143.72 for waste-to-energy. The average publication efficiency index for both fields was 1.49, and the study highlighted significant contributions by multiple authors across both topics. Other indicators, including relative growth rate (RGR), doubling time (Dt) for publications and citations, and degree of collaboration, underscored substantial research momentum and collaboration in these fields. The data show a strong growth trend and significant impact on research in waste-to-energy and solar energy, along with a noticeable increase in collaborative research initiatives. These patterns indicate an ongoing interest in and solid understanding of renewable energy technologies, which are essential for achieving future sustainability and energy objectives.
The present study is an evaluation of authorship and collaboration pattern in SRELS Journal of Information Management during 2008-2017. Total 578 articles published during the study period out of which 196 articles are published by single author and rest 386 articles are published by two or more than two authors. It is clear from the study that multiple authorship pattern is prominent in the journal. In the study it has been counted that the average collaboration index is 1.86, average collaboration coefficient is 0.36, average degree of collaboration is 0.66, average relative growth rate is 0.32 and average doubling time is 3.40 during 2008-2017. The highest activity index for India is counted in the year 2009 and lowest activity index is counted in the year 2013.
The present paper deals with the analysis of Relative Growth Rate and Doubling Time of productivity of research articles of CSIR-NEERI, India during 1989–2013. The data used for the study were retrieved from Web of Science database for the period of twenty fiveyears from 1989 to 2013. The results indicate that the growth of research has steadily increased from 9 articles in 1989 to 117 in 2011& 2012 and again decreased in the year 2013 (81 articles). The mean value of RGR of articles (0.104), pages (0.085) & Citations (0.066) and Dt of articles (4.277), pages (83.010) & citations (−12.150) respectively. Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and Doubling Time (Dt) of CSIR-NEERI publications during the study period exhibits a fluctuating trend.
