Authorship Patterns in Eosinophilia Research Literature: A Scientometric Analysis

The present study the examined the authorship patterns in the field of eosinophilia literature based on the publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection during the period from 1998 to 2017. Totally 70337 researchers have contributed 12118 publications produced over 1,797 journals in the subject of eosinophilia. Findings of the analysis revealed that the author’s productivity examines the trend in understanding the research process in any discipline of science; maximum records of 1625 publications produce by four authors. It is found that the degree of collaboration is an increasing and decreasing trend. This study includes an overview of co-authorship, efficiency and ranking of the researches, visualizing the co-authorship network; analysis of group author’s contribution in eosinophilia research and time series analysis for single authors and joint authors. The author “Rothenberg ME” has published 116 publications with 11662 citation scores; 49.88 average citations per paper, with 60 h-index values measured and it occupy the first rank

Is there a correlation between access to journals and their productive use?

24-30<span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; letter-spacing:-.15pt" lang="EN-US">Ever since <span style="font-size: 9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-US">library consortia were established in India, academic and research libraries started gaining online access to more number of journals than what they were individually subscribing before. To find out how well Indian researchers make use of the additional resources, the use made of journals either for publishing or for citing by researchers in three Indian institutions - a unitary university, a CSIR laboratory and a DAE theoretical research institution was examined. It was found that in all three institutions, not more than 20% of journals for which they have access through consortium or through their own funds as part of their subscription have been used. Thus the large number of journals that publishers offer through their big deals seem to benefit the publishers rather than the researchers. It is suggest that academic and research librarians in India and library consortia use citation analysis as an “aid in pruning subscriptions to unused journals, eventually alleviating misapportioned moneys spending in the serials selection process”. </span
