TL;DR: The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during 1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This part of the study highlights the contents of the published articles in terms of various disciplines or sub-disciplines and the bibliometric aspects discussed in these articles. The analysis of 902 papers published by Indian scholars during1995-2014 indicates that the main focus of bibliometrics/scientometrics is on assessment of science and technology in India in different sub-disciplines including contributions by Indian states and other individual countries followed by bibliometric analysis of individual journals. Papers dealing with bibliometric laws received a low priority as compared to other subdisciplines of bibliometrics/scientometrics. The analysis of data indicates that the share of theoretical studies using mathematical and statistical techniques which were missing in the earlier period (1970-1994) has increased during 1995-2014. The field of medicine as a discipline received the highest attention as compared to other disciplines.

TL;DR: It is found that researchers use journals more frequently than other from of documents and authorship pattern concentrated mainly on single and joint authors in books where as in journals.
Abstract: Highlights the distribution of various forms of publication, authorship trends, most frequently cited periodicals and geographical distribution of the literature in the area of strategic management. It is found that researchers use journals more frequently than other from of documents and authorship pattern concentrated mainly on single and joint authors in books where as in journals. The top ranking journals in the field of strategic management are Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Journal and Administrative Science Quarterly that represent 32% of the literature coverage. The results reveal the geographical distribution of core journals ofthis literature, which are mainly concentrated in the USA & UK. The methodology is based on the bibliometrics techniques of citation analysis, which are applied in all the articles published in the Strategic Management Journal for two consecutive years 2005 and 2006.

TL;DR: The study concludes with the remark that dependency of library and information professionals over available translation tools should be up to certain extent, i.e., only for the initial sorting of the document.
Abstract: Accessibility to other language web documents has always been a concern for information professionals. Many translation tools such as Babelfish and Cooglc Translator arc extensively used by librarians and information professional to meet the varying demand of their users. These tools though do not produce exact translated verse but provides gist of the information that could be used by the librarians to understand the type of information contained in the document. Thus, it is important for librarians and information professionals to know about the various possibilities available for translation as well as the technology being used for it. The papers follow ups the different approaches used for mechanization of translation process along with a discussion over their features and limitations. The study concludes with the remark that dependency of library and information professionals over available translation tools should be up to certain extent, i.e., only for the initial sorting of the document. The translation tools available cannot be used as regular content analysis tool.

TL;DR: A bibliometric study of library and information science research literature emanating from India based on the data abstracted in Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), using Lotka's Law to understand the productivity pattern of authors.
Abstract: The paper presents a bibliometric study of library and information science research literature emanating from India based on the data abstracted in Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA). Standard bibliometric techniques are employed to analyse the collected data and accordingly get indicators. Bradford's law of scattering is used to identify core journals of library : and information science wherein Indian authors publish their research output. To understand the productivity pattern of authors, Lotka's Law has been applied. The identified core journals are mostly published from India. Indian authors' contribution in' international journals is very low. A list of authors who have published 10 and more papers during 1967-2004 is drawn and presented. Such authors are 37 (1.35%) in number and authors with single publication have major share (74.63%). The author's productivity pattern is in conformity to Lotka's law.
