Research Performance Of IFLA Journals Based On Scopus Database

This study examined the performance of selected IFLA journals for 22 years between 2001 to 2021. The methodology used in this study includes Annual Growth Rate (AGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), and Doubling Time (Dt), as well as countries and institutions. With the highest productivity and distribution of publications per year, used to evaluate research productivity. To obtain the information required for this study, the Scopus database was consulted. During the research period, 813 publications were retrieved. Based on the study, the most articles were published in 2021, 84 (10.33%), and the lowest number was 25 (3.07%) in 2018. Due to the annual increase in the constant fluctuations in publications, research shows an average, productivity in IFLA journals

Global Research Trend on Cyber Security: A Scientometric Analysis

Scientometrics is a quantitative analysis of scholarly literature related to a particular subject or area (well defined by some limits, scope and coverage), which helps to understand different aspects about the scholarly literature’s growth in various dimensions of knowledge. Similarly, this study is a quantitative analysis of the Global research trends in cyber security. Some works related to scientometrics of ‘deception, counter-deception in cyberspace’ had been published in 2011, but we have focused on ‘cyber security’ as the topic of research. For analysis we have utilised the published data available in Scopus database, which is directly related to ‘cyber security’. The data of 2720 documents published on ‘cyber security’ for the period of 2001-2018, have been retrieved from the Scopus database. We have calculated and tabulated various quantitative indicators from the data; then, we have plotted different graphs for these indicators to understand the growth pattern, collaborations, citations, authorship, countrywise contributions, funding, affiliations etc. We found that the United States of America has the highest number of publications in the area of cyber security research followed by the United Kingdom, China, and India. It can be seen as a result of the fact that among the top 15 funding agencies eight funding agencies are from the USA only. Contrary to this, India is the fourth highest contributor in cyber security research with comparatively meagre funding. Further we have also discussed how collaboration has grown over the years with the publication growth and citation growth. We have also found that Cybersecurity has a growing trend of collaboration in research. This study concludes that Indian defence need to focus on Cybersecurity and plan strategically for the future with effective collaborations. Best defence strategy in the cyberspace is preventive measures supported by continuous research

Research Productivity and Performance of Journals of Informetrics

This study explores the research productivity and performance of journals of informetrics (JOI) for selected 13 years between 2007-2019. The research productivity was evaluated based on a methodology followed and used in this study: Annual growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and doubling time (Dt); authorship pattern and Authors productivity, degree of collaboration (DC), collaborative index (CI), most productive Institutes, and countries, year-wise distribution of the publications. The Scopus database was consulted for collecting of required data for this study. A total of 978 publications were found during the study period. The study shows that the highest numbers of 106(10.84%) papers were published in 2017 and the lowest 33(3.37%) research articles were published in 2007. It was also observed from the study that multi-authors published the majority of documents. Further, it was revealed that out of 58 countries, the United States contributed (12.40%) alone compared to other countries. The finding exposed that out of six documents types, research articles 863(88.24%) were the more contributed item in this type. The present study shows that the journal of informetrics (JOI) has average performance because of continuous fluctuation in publications\u27 annual growth

Visualizing Publication Trends in Webology Journal: A Bibliometric Review based on the Scopus Database (2006-2020)

This study aims to explore the publication trends in Webology Journal. The Scopus database was chosen for the extraction of bibliographic data for the period 2006 to 2020. Then, VOSviewer software was used to analyse the data and generate visualization network maps. A total of 295 publications were found during the study period. The various bibliometrics indicators have been applied to identify the publication trends of Webology Journal. The finding revealed that the highest number of papers (92) and the maximum number of citations (273) appeared in 2020. Among the most contributing nations, Iran has contributed 63 documents, followed by India 50 and the United States 25. Further, the author, A. Noruzi, has found a highly productive and cited author among other authors by contributing 24 documents with 68 citations in Webology journal. The University of Tehran contributed 19 publications and was identified as the top ten highly effective research institutions. The study concludes that Webology journal publishes quality publications, and it is considered one of the leading journals\u27 in the web technology field

Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins and Their Interactors Are a Major Class of Deregulated Proteins in Anaplastic Astrocytoma: A Grade III Malignant Glioma

Anaplastic astrocytoma is a high grade malignant glioma (WHO grade III) of the central nervous system which arises from a low grade II tumor and invariably progresses into lethal glioblastoma (WHO grade IV). We have studied differentially expressed proteins from the microsomal fraction of the clinical specimens of these tumors, using iTRAQ and high-resolution mass spectrometry followed by immunohistochemistry for representative proteins on tissue sections. A total of 2642 proteins were identified, 266 of them with minimum 2 peptide signatures and 2-fold change in expression. The major groups of proteins revealed to be differentially expressed were associated with key cellular processes such as post transcriptional processing, protein translation, and acute phase response signaling. A distinct inclusion among these important proteins is 10 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) and their interacting partners which have regulatory functions in the cell. hnRNP-mediated post transcriptional events are known to play a major role in mRNA processing, stability, and distribution. Their altered levels have also been observed by us in lower (diffused astrocytoma) and higher (glioblastoma) grades of gliomas, and membrane localization of hnRNPs has also been documented in the literature. hnRNPs may thus be major factors underlying global gene expression changes observed in glial tumors while their differential presence in the microsomal fraction suggests yet additional and unknown roles in tumorigenesis
