Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
Scientometric Portrait of Homi Jehangir Bhabha: The Father of Indian Nuclear Research Programme
No full textQuantitative and qualitative analysis with graphic representation of the publication productivity of a scientist facilitates easy and clear perception about the work of a scientist. Bhabha’s scientific work spanned over more than three decades (1933-1967) during which he published 104 publications, which could be classified into nine fields: Interaction of Radiation with Matter (4), Quantum Electrodynamics (5), Mathematical Physics (2), Cosmic Ray Physics (18), Elementary Particle Physics (14), Field Theory (15), General Physics (2), Nuclear Physics (4) and General (40). The highest number of publications (6) were published in 1941, 1945 and 1964 respectively. The average number of publications published per year was 3.05. His productivity coefficient was 0.05 which is a clear indicates that his publication productivity was quite consistent throughout his scientific career. He was single author in 79 of his publications and the main author in 24 publications indicates that he always preferred to work himself and lead the team as ‘mentor’. Bhabha had 22 collaborators during the period. Team of research collaborators working with a successful scientist documents the sociological aspect of history of science while generating knowledge by a leader in a domain.
Bhabha became a citable author in 1937. Bhabha received 1211 citations to his 30 publications out of 104 publications. Out of 104, 74 publications did not receive any citations. Out of 74 publications, 40 publications dealt subjects mainly of general interest. Bhabha’s 86.66 percent of cited publications received their first citations within four years of their publication indicates that his publications were noticed immediately and had direct impact among the fellow researchers working all over the world. His overall citation rate was 11.64 per cited publication. The highest citations 389 were received to the domain ‘Cosmic ray physics’. The highest number of citations received were 45 in 1938. His self-citations were only 24 (1.98%) and citations by others were 1187 (98.02%). The highest self citations were six in 1946. Bhabha’s mean diachronous self-citation rate was 1.98. The highest citation rate 28.4 was to the domain ‘Quantum electrodynamics. His single authored publications have received the highest number 863 (71.26%) of citations. Bhabha’s five publications have been cited more than 100 times each. His publications have been cited by the authors working in various diverse fields like nuclear physics, mathematical physics, instrumentation, optics, geophysics and geochemistry, condensed matter physics, applied physics, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering etc., indicating a very diverse influence and impact of Bhabha’s publications. Bhabha’s publications have also been cited by the Nobel laureates like V. L. Ginzberg, Wolfgang Pauli, H. A. Bethe, M. Born, W. Bothe, E. P. Wigner, H. Yukawa, P. M. S. Blackett and C. N. Yang which is an indication of his originality of ideas and high quality of publications
An evaluation of author productivity in artificial neural networks research in India during 1991-2014
No full textThe study examines the conformity of Lotka’s law to authorship distribution in the field of Artificial Neural Networks research (ANNs) in India during 1991–2014 using Science Citation Index-Expanded. There were 3411 articles contributed by 5654 unique authors. Lotka’s law was tested using methodology suggested by Pao and compared with maximum likelihood method advocated by Nicholls. The main elements involved in fitting in Lotka’s law were identified. These includes criterion for taking a certain pair of observed data points for calculating Lotka’s gradient, the constant for measurement of single author productivity and assessing goodness-of-fit. The results suggested that author productivity distribution, predicted by the modified Lotka’s Law suggested by Pao, was confirmed to the ANNs discipline in India whereas methodology suggested by Nicholls was not able to explain the author productivity distribution for the same. Evaluation of the prolific authors indicated that most of them are among the top position in their respective institutions. However, they were not listed as first author in their publications supporting that all the authors should be considered while analysing author productivity
Grimaldina brazzai Richard 1892
No full text(60) Grimaldina brazzai Richard, 1892 Indian records. Assam —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a, b); Madhya Pradesh — Rane (1984c); Rajasthan — Venkataraman (1990b); Tamil Nadu — Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); West Bengal — Venkataraman & Das (1993), Venkataraman (1998c), Venkataraman et al. (2000); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984); Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Valid taxon described from Gabon, West Africa (Richard 1892). It probably consists of a series of cryptic species (H. J. Dumont, pers. comm.). Venkataraman (1998) recorded this species from West Bengal and claim that it is the first report from India, later Venkataraman & Das (1993) again said they had found the first record, although Rane (1984c) already found this taxon before. Distribution. At the time, regarded as circumtropical (Smirnov 1992; Kotov & Ferrari 2010). Guernella ceylonica Daday, 1898 Indian records. General record— Brehm (1953), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Described from Sri Lanka (Daday 1898). Junior synonym of G. raphaelis Richard, 1892 (Smirnov 1976, 1992), also listed as such in Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988). However, G. raphaelis is described from West Africa, and ceylonica is an available name for Oriental populations if these would indeed prove to belong to a separate species. Guernella odiosa (Gurney, 1916) Indian records. General record— Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Raghunathan and Kumar (2003) listed this combination as apparent mistake. In reality, this combination was never proposed by any other author in cladoceran taxonomy. Sometimes Macrothrix odiosa was placed to the genus Gurneyella Brehm, 1930 (see Biswas 1971), not Guernella Richard, 1892. If Guernella is a valid taxon, which is indeed very different from Macrothrix (Smirnov 1976, 1992), Gurneyella is an apparent junior synonym of Macrothrix (Kotov et al. 2005). See Macrothrix odiosa for further comments.Published as part of CHATTERJEE, TAPAS, KOTOV, ALEXEY A., DAMME, KAY VAN, CHANDRASEKHAR, S. V.

Trend of R&D publications in Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors: A Study using INIS and Other Databases
No full textDigital databases INIS (1970-2002), INSPEC (1969-2002), Chemical Abstracts (1977-2002), ISMEC (1973-June2002), Web of Sciences (1974-2002), and Science Citation Index (1982-2002), were used for comprehensive retrieval of bibliographic details of research publications on Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) research. Among the countries contributing to PHWR research, India (having 1737 papers) is the forerunner followed by Canada (1492), Romania (508) and Argentina (334). Collaboration of Canadian researchers with researchers of other countries resulted in 75 publications. Among the most productive researchers in this field, the first 15 are from India. Top three contributors to PHWR publications with their respective authorship credits are: H.S. Kushwaha (106), Anil Kakodkar (100) and V. Venkat Raj (76). Prominent interdomainary interactions in PHWR subfields are: Specific nuclear reactors and associated plants with General studies of nuclear reactors (481), followed by Environmental sciences (185), and Materials science (154). Number of publications dealing with Geosciences aspect of environmental sciences are 141. Romania, Argentina, India and Republic of Korea have used mostly (=75%) non-conventional media for publications. Out of the 4851 publications, 1228 have been published in 292 distinct journals. Top most journals publishing PHWR papers are: Radiation Protection and Environment (continued from: Bulletin of Radiation Protection since 1997), India (115); Nuclear Engineering International, UK (84); and Transactions of the American Nuclear Society, USA (68)

(1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Described from Switzerland (Jurine 1820). The Indian record needs to be checked, probably, they belong to M. vietnamensis Silva-Briano, Dieu & Dumont, 1999. Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) listed Macrothrix laticornis (Fischer) in their checklist, but the author was represented in the wrong way. Distribution. M. laticornis s.str. is "reliably known from most of Europe, and extending east across most of temperate Asia, with outlying populations occurring as far as Central Nepal " (Silva-Briano et al. 1999). Macrothrix capensis monodi Gauthier, 1930 Indian records. Maharashtra — Rane (2005b); Goa— Rane (2008); Tripura —Venkataraman (1994); General record— Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003). Remarks. Described from Algeria (Gauthier 1930). Junior synonym of M. odiosa (Kotov et al. 2005).Published as part of CHATTERJEE, TAPAS, KOTOV, ALEXEY A., DAMME, KAY VAN, CHANDRASEKHAR, S. V.

Author productivity in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research
No full text273-285The study analyses the distribution of
productivity of authors in the field of HCI research as reflected in their
publication output from Science Citation Index-Expanded for 2006 to 2011. The
purpose of this study is to test Lotka’s law of author productivity using the
methodology outlined by Pao (1985) and compare it with the modifications
suggested by Nicholls (1987). A data set of 63137 articles is studied. Author
productivity data is disaggregated into 21 data sets, one each for top 20
countries beside the world data set. The values of Lotka’s exponent and
constant are calculated by both
linear least square method and maximum likelihood method. The K-S
goodness-of-fit test is conducted at the 0.10 level of significance. There is
not much difference observed in the distribution of publications and the
distribution obtained using Pao’s procedure and modifications suggested by
Nicholls. This study finds that literature in the field of HCI research studies
does conform to Lotka’s law with reliable results for 18 out of 21 data sets.
So, Lotka’s law can be used in HCI research as a standardized means of
measuring author publication productivity.
