“…The findings of the study reveal that very few research articles traced the research trends in LIS in India. A prominent study by Dora and Kumar (2017) who examined the trend in LIS research during 2004-2015 by studying the published literature in 14 Indian LIS journals attested the findings of the present study, where the results from their study perfectly overlaps with the topics and their respective occurrences from our study. Moreover, the doctoral research conducted in India in LIS for the period 1950-2012 again overlaps in accordance to the occurrence and trend of the topics determined in the present study for the epoch of 1981-2012 where ICT is found to be the dominant subject area of research in India from 1990 till present and areas like information retrieval; and knowledge organization are under-researched as pointed out by Maity and Hatua (2015).…”

This study analyzed 928 full-text research articles retrieved from DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology for the period of 1981-2018 using Latent Dirichlet Allocation. The study further tagged the articles with the modeled topics. 50 core topics were identified throughout the period of 38 years whereas only 26 topics were unique in nature. Bibliometrics, ICT, information retrieval, and user studies were highly researched areas in India for the epoch. Further, Spain and Taiwan showed common research trends and areas as India whereas India has quite distinct research interests from America and China. Therefore, researchers in Library and Information Science in India should pay more attention to the topics which are under-researched. Further, it was found that there were some unique sub-fields to Indian Library and Information Science research, such as open access; online exhibition; virtual libraries; multimedia libraries; open source software; library automation; and library management system. With the passage of time topics evolve over time, new topics emerge, and old ones become obsolete. Topic modeling not only helps the researcher to determine the trending themes or related fields with respect to their field of interest but also helps them to identify new concepts and fields over time.

“…For example, analyzing LIS publications from WoS during 2014-18 in India, LIS publication growth between 2009 to 2019 in Sri Lanka and bibliometrics study of LIS publication in Pakistan . In South Asia, India has more studies on LIS bibliometrics e.g., bibliometrics of LIS research in India during 2004-2015 17 and an empirical analysis of the research trends in the field of LIS in India-2004-2015 18 .…”

This paper aims to measure the extent to which Bangladesh-based Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers have published in leading LIS journals indexed by Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS. To answer this question, bibliographic information from LIS publications published in leading bibliographic databases from 1971 to 2020 were examined. Data from 266 LIS publication were collected, compiled and cleaned. VOSviewer software was used to carry out the science mapping of bibliometric networks. From the data it was evidenced that joint authorship and international collaboration have been increasing during this time frame. Authors from 20 countries have published in collaboration with Bangladeshi LIS researchers. Faculty members and the Department of Information Science and Library Management (ISLM) of Dhaka University became the most prolific authors and LIS Department in Bangladesh. The data compiled and findings will benefit current Bangladeshi LIS researchers and practitioners to assess areas of focus by highlighting, what they have, what they lack, and how they could grow to get direction for future research.

“…An experimental review made in a specific time period 2004 to 2015 on LIS literature published in India and it has been depicted that 3713 exploration papers added to 14 different journals . Further referenced that scientometrics and bibliometrics were the primary capacity of exploration in Indian LIS distributions (Dora, Anil Kumar, & management, 2017). Another research concluded the data from 1980 to 2017 and reported that a number of 967 research publications added by Library and Information Science faculty members (Parabhoi, Bhattacharjee, & Dey, 2019).…”

The study targets examining the exploration yield on the key terms of librarianship within 52 years (1970-2021). The investigation cover essentially the quantity of articles, language of articles, top research oriented organizations and countries, topmost publication source, highly productive authors, highly interested research area, commonly used keyword and so forth. A complete bibliometric study was directed utilizing the Science Citation Index data set, Web of Science (Core Collection). This research fills in as an asset for future research activities by revealing insight into librarianship. In particular, the outcomes uncover that the mostly chosen publication category is article and the research referred to articles are from United States and the top productive organization is also from USA. The preferred language is English for publications and the most favored research area is the “Information Science Library Science” during this time span. This bibliometric research is significant for all those researchers who relates to librarianship and who need to see the publication trends in this profession.
