“…This pattern corroborates with Lotka’s law of scientific productivity which predicts that in any field only a small number of authors are highly productive 34 . The predominance of multi‐authored works especially between 2 and 10 is similarly found in other science‐based studies 35,36 and typify BHS research which were often multi‐disciplinary and facilitated group rather than single research initiatives 37 . Authorship patterns reflect collaboration trends and help libraries design a more focused support service based on research groups through subject librarians 38 .…”

Background: The aim of this study was to examine Malaysian contributions in the field of biomedical and health sciences. Methods: In this study, 3697 publications affiliated to Malaysian addresses from the SCI database between 1990 and 2005 were sampled. This study also explored publication productivity trends, authorship and collaboration pattern, core journals used, and citations obtained. Results: Main contributions were journal articles (73.3%). Most authors (63.7%) contributed only one article and 16.1% produced over 30-68 publications. Multi-authored works were the norm. The productive authors were named either first or second in publications. There were active collaborations with authors from Asia-Pacific countries (35%) and Europe (30%). The majority of publications were contributed by institutions of higher learning (87%). Core journals used follow quite close to Bradford's zonal ratios of 44:152:581. The active research areas were identified. About 71.3% of publications received citations especially those published from 1995 to 1999. Conclusion: This study helped librarians identify active researchers, active research areas and journals relevant to biomedical and health sciences researchers and useful when producing reports to university management and planning medical collection policies and deciding on journal subscriptions and cancellations.

“…This results support a previous study by Liu [50] who observed that the ratios of authors with two or more articles publishing in JASIST (field of information science) were lower than expected according to Lotka's Law. Ullah, Butt and Haroon [18] and Patra and Chand [51] also found that Lotka's Law (n=2) does not apply in their research fields (medicine), indicating that authorship distribution pattern may slightly differ in various disciplines…”

“…The reason for this choice is to avoid the bias found when subjective criteria are used (Vocino & Elliott, 1982), although it is true that objective indicators, too, are not without their critics (Cameron, 2005). Nevertheless, Garfield (1972) defended the use of indicators based on the citation methodology because they provide useful data.…”

“…However, we have preferred to use English-language academic and/or professional journals with major international impact (Braadbaart & Yusnandarshah, 2008). The main reason for this decision is that the importance of the book as a vehicle of communication has been weakened over time (Ullah et al, 2008), and it is being replaced by the use of online sources (Kriebel & Lapham, 2008), like e-journals, which are increasingly used by academics both for acquiring and for disseminating new knowledge (Nord & Nord, 1995).…”

Abstract. E-Government is a broad research field in which researchers are currently involved in a range of different research projects. Our purpose in this paper is to assist researchers in the development and direction of future analyses, identifying trends in terms of research and the methodology used. Universities and departments that make the main scientific contributions are identified, in order to locate and contextualize the research carried out into e-Government and to enhance intercommunication among researchers and thus knowledge in this field. To achieve this goal, we examined periodical publications listed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in the fields of Public Administration and Information Science, during the period 2000-2009. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities have been derived, highlighting the need to use quantitative methodologies and to identify key factors to promote a theoretical framework to enhance the efficient implementation of e-Government, as well as identification the main universities where the researchers can complete their doctoral academic training.
