These are some of the key findings from a study conducted by researchers from the departments of library and information science at Andhra University (AU) and Panjab University (PU), Chandigarh. M Hema Sundara Rao and Prof G Siva Prasad from AU, alongside Sharath Sundar M from PU, examined Andhra University's research output from 2009 to 2023, focusing on publication trends, citation impact, authorship patterns, and international collaborations.
Methodologically, the study utilised bibliographic data from the Scopus database to analyse the 7,415 indexed publications, aiming to assess trends in publication growth, citations, authorship patterns, country affiliations, and participation.
"The total number of citations received by publications fluctuated over the years, peaking in 2015 with 5,593 citations. However, citations declined significantly in subsequent years.
The average citations per paper (CPP) varied annually, with higher values in earlier years, followed by a decline in recent years. The highest CPP was recorded in 2009 (12.76), whereas the lowest was in 2023 (1.69)," said Sundara Rao, Prof Prasad, and Sundar M.
The study was published in 'College Libraries', a research journal published by the West Bengal College Librarians' Association.
Of the 7,415 research publications, articles comprise the majority, accounting for 77.16% of the total.
Conference papers represent 15.68%, followed by book chapters at 3.60%. Reviews, errata, retracted publications, letters, notes, data papers, editorials, and books constitute smaller percentages.
The highest publication count is observed for the 'Asian Journal of Chemistry' with 179 publications, followed by the 'Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological, and Chemical Sciences' with 69.
CiteScore, which measures average citations per document in a given year, varies across journals. For instance, the 'Astrophysics and Space Science' journal from the Netherlands holds the highest CiteScore of 3.4, reflecting a relatively higher citation impact. This journal also boasts the highest H-index of 16 and the highest citation count of 609, signifying considerable influence in the field.
