The objective of this study is to investigate the research productivity of the Sri Lankan state universities depicted in reputed international university ranking systems during 2015-2020 and to identify the areas that can be used to develop the research productivity of the state universities. Research–related scores of the Sri Lankan state universities from 2015-2020 in four ranking systems (THE, QS, SIR, and URAP) were analysed. The study established that the research productivity, impact, and collaboration are the major aspects considered by the ranking systems. Only a few universities are ranked and the scores have a considerable scope to be improved. Several recommendations are made on how the university librarians can support the improvement of research-related related rankings. This is the first study on research productivity scores of Sri Lankan state universities based on international ranking systems. Hence the findings will be useful for the university policymakers in Sri Lanka as well in other countries with similar educational contexts.

Purpose – The purpose of this scientometric study was to conduct an analysis of the research productivity and scholarly impact of academic librarians in Tanzania for a period of 30 years from 1984 to 2013. Design/methodology/approach – Data were obtained using the Publish or Perish software which uses Google Scholar to retrieve scholars’ publications, citations and related metrics. For each librarian, the retrieved metrics were the number of papers, papers per author, citation counts, average citations per paper, average papers per author, average citations per year, average citations per author and four indices, namely, the h-index, g-index, Hc-index and the HI-norm. Findings – The study findings indicate that 434 publications were recorded for all librarians, giving an average of 14.5 publications per year. The year 2008 had the most (9.9 per cent) publications followed by 2010 (7.8 per cent), while the years 1985 and 1987 had the lowest (0.2 per cent) number of publications. About 43 per cent of the publications were single-authored and the degree of collaboration was 0.57. The top-ten ranked librarians contributed more than half (53.2 per cent) of all publications, although they showed considerable variation among different metrics. Only three journal articles had 25 or more citations. Originality/value – Previous studies on the topic are scarce, and, therefore, this paper provides useful recommendations to library and information science (LIS) schools, libraries and universities to improve research productivity of their academic librarians in Tanzania and other countries with a similar setting.

This paper discusses about the published research articles and its citation available in the Indian Citation Index by the authors from SRM University. The relevant data are collected from Indian Citation Index and it was analyzed. It shows among the 510 articles, the maximum of 157(30.78%) articles published in 2015 and minimum of 1 (0.20%) articles published in 2005. Based on the citation during the period 153 citations were made. Among the 153 Citations, maximum of 32 (20.92%) citations in 2010 and minimum number of citation 1 (0.65%) in 2006 & 2007, was identified.

This paper describes the scientometric study of faculty member’s research productivity at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University (PMU) in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The study aims to evaluate the research performances of the faculty members at Mohammed Bin Fahd University, researchers and graduate students for the last 10 years. PMU was established in 2008 and data is collected for this case study from Scopus database during 2008-2018. This study has analyzed approximately 609 scientific research publications over 10 years. These publications include 434 research papers, 143 conference proceedings, 15 book chapters, 11 reviews, and 2 Erratum. The current study highlights the active researchers of the PMU, their fields, and the journals in which they published their research work. An evaluation of their research productivity in terms of publishing, citations, and H-index is also described. The paper also analyzes the significant differences between the averages of research productivity level for the PMU faculty members due to the variables ranking, and the difficulties for research production from the opinion of the faculty members.

Scintometric is a branch of library and information science. Scintometric tools can be used to measure and compare the scientific activities at various levels of aggregation including institutions, sectors, provinces and countries. They can also be used to measure research collaborations, to map scientific networks and to monitor the evolution of scientific fields. In this paper mainly visualizing the scientific publication of ultrasonics during 2004-2014, indexed in the Web of Science (WoS), a renowned database published online by the Thomson International, (formerly Institute for Scientific Information), Philadelphia. Scientometrics is the study of quantitative aspect of science as a discipline. These refers to component fields related to the study of dynamics of disciplines as reflected in the production of their literature.

The study deals with the Scientometric study on the publication of “Green Chemistry”. The records are collected from Web of Science Databases for the period of 1991-2014. A total of 11503 publications were identified in Web of Science database. The study reveals that, most of the researchers preferred to publish their research results in journals; as such 77.8% of articles were published in journals. More numbers of articles were published in the year 2014. The authorship trend shows that, out of total 11503 publications published, 88.86% of the publication published under the joint author. Further this study also identified to analyses coverage growth rates, source wise, collaborative coefficient, co-authorship index and Geographical distribution of the literature and citation analysis is also noted
