“…Two short surveys, two editorials and a single news item are also published on the studied subject ( Table 2). The findings also confirm an earlier study in the homeopathic literature which revealed that the paper article is the most frequently used document type, followed by letters, editorial materials, reviews, news items, notes, meeting abstracts, book reviews, biographical items and corrections [28]. …”

“…The present study period starts from the year (1957), when the first Pakistani author (Abdul Rahim Khan) published his article in a foreign journal (Unesco Bulletin for Libraries). Another study from India (Patra and Chand, 2006) was reviewed to get a perspective on the contribution of Indian authors to the world library literature. The study highlights core journals published from India and reports that the Indian authors only contributed 144 articles in two foreign journals between 1967 and 2004.…”

Purpose -In addition to quantitative analysis, the purpose of this paper is to measure the quality of articles published in foreign LIS journals by Pakistani authors based on their Impact Factor (IF) scores reported in the Journal Citation Reports ( JCR) of 2010; also to discuss the significance and implications of this study for the current and potential authors in Pakistan and other developing countries. Design/methodology/approach -The data for this study were collected from two sets of sources: first, online sources of Google Scholar, LISA, LISTA, an online 50-year cumulative index of Pakistani LIS literature, and web pages of several authors; and second, printed indexes and bibliographies. The data collected were manually entered into MS Excel for tabulation and created nine tables, which formed the basis of discussion in the paper. Findings -The contribution of Pakistani authors to foreign LIS journals is reasonable in number and below average in quality, according to the JCR IF scores. The authorship patterns show that there is a shift from single-authorship to collaborative authorship. The contribution of academics is several times higher than that of library practitioners. Likewise the non-resident Pakistani authors' share in the global LIS literature is much larger as compared to their counterparts living in Pakistan. Originality/value -This is the first study that evaluates the quality of Pakistani LIS literature using the more popular journal ranking method, JCR IF. The results of this study are expected to have a positive impact on Pakistani authors as they start preparing articles according to the quality requirements of JCR-ranked journals in the future.

“…An investigation conducted by Macias‐Chapula (), for instance, analyzed the HIVAIDS literature generated in Haiti to determine the trends in the type of publications and their subject content over an 18‐year period. Similar studies were conducted on the HIV/AIDS literature generated in India (Patra & Chand, ), Central Africa (Macias‐Chapula et al., 2001), Kenya and Uganda (Onyancha & Ocholla, ), and Nigeria (Uthman, ). Statistical techniques have also been employed to analyze HIV/AIDS literature to determine variations in specific subject areas.…”

This study undertook an exploratory analysis of the relationship between the body of scientific literature associated with HIV/AIDS and the trajectory of the epidemic, measured by the rate of new cases diagnosed annually in the United States for the period covering 1981 to 2009. The body of scientific literature examined in this investigation was constituted from scientific research that developed alongside the epidemic and was extracted from MEDLINE, a bibliographic database of the United States. National Library of Medicine. Content analysis methods were employed for qualitative data reduction, and regression analysis was used to assess whether variation in the trajectory of the epidemic co-occurred with variation in the publication of specific genres of content within the scientific literature relating to HIV/ AIDS. The regression model confirmed a statistically significant association between the representative body of HIV/AIDS scientific literature and the epidemic trajectory, and identified three research categories, namely, ameliorative drug treatments, other clinical protocols, and health education, as being most significantly associated with the epidemic trajectory. Implicit in the findings of this study are areas of scientific research that are of functional and practical interest to clinicians, policy makers, the lay public, and contributors to the body of scientific literature.
