A Comparative Study of the Bibliometric Characteristics of COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management and Journal of Scientometric Research

The study compared the bibliometric parameters of scholarly communications published in COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics & Information Management (CJSIM) and Journal of Scientometric Research (JSR) from 2012 to 2021. Different bibliometric parameters examined in the study are pattern of output during 2012 to 2021, identification of most prolific countries and their citation impact in terms of Citation Per Paper (CPP), i-10 index and Papers not Cited (PnC). Study also identified prolific institutions and authors and their citation impact besides examining pattern of citation. The study also examined the pattern of domestic and international collaboration. Findings of the study indicate that the pattern of output is inconsistent in both the journals. The output is scattered among 39 countries in CJSIM and 50 countries in JSR. India followed by Iran contributed the highest number of papers in both the journals. Most of the prolific institutions and authors were from India in both the journals. More number of papers remained uncited in CJSIM as compared to JSR. More number of papers were published in domestic collaboration in JSR as compared to CJSIM. However, papers published in international collaboration in both the journals was almost equal. Among all the countries, China published the highest number of papers in international collaboration in CJSIM, but no such trend was observed in JSR.


INTRODUCTION
Primary journals are an important source of new knowledge in a discipline or a sub-discipline.These are the most valuable source of primary communication for researchers, scientists, and academicians.Primary periodical literature of any discipline reflects the issues of importance to a field of study.The quantum of research in a country can be judged through its publications in primary journals.Analysis of scholarly publications using bibliometric techniques helps in understanding the trends of growth in a discipline.India publishes a large number of periodicals in the discipline of Library and Information Science (LIS).However, no LIS journal published from India could make it to Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of the Web of Science, an international citation database owned by Clarivate Analytics (USA).However, four journals published from India are now indexed by Emerging Sources Citation Index of the Web of Science.These are Annals of Library and Information Studies, DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology, Journal of Scientometric Research and COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management.Among these four journals, except COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management (CJSIM) all are also indexed by Scopus, a leading citation database published by Elsevier.In 2023, all these journals received 'Impact Factor®' for 2022 given by Journal Citation Reports (JCR) of Clarivate analytics, a product based on Web of Science database.Authors have chosen these two journals for comparison because both these journals dealt with the same discipline of bibliometrics and scientometrics and have a good track record of publishing academic articles.The first issue of JSR was published in the last quarter (September-December) of 2012, though CJSIM started publishing in 2007.To keep the study period equal for both journals, the authors have chosen the period from 2012 to 2021.The details of both the journals can be seen at https://www .tandfonline.com/loi/tsim20for CJSIM and at https://jscires.org/ for JSR.Readers can also refer a bibliometric analysis of papers published in Collnet Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management by Garg and Bebi [1] and Giri and Das [2] for a bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Scientometric Research.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Bibliometric study of a single journal is primarily intended to create a portrait of the journal that exhibits its productivity, maturity, impact and its ability in diffusing the knowledge in the specific field it portrays.In the last two decades several individual journals in the disciplines of LIS have been the focus of bibliometric studies.However, only a few studies related to bibliometric studies for two or more journals have been published in the literature.Readers can see bibliometric studies related to individual journals by Dutt, Garg and Bali [3] for papers published in the international journal Scientometrics from 1978 to 2001, Mukherjee [4] for Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) from 2000 to 2007, Garg, Lamba and Singh [5] for DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology (DJLIT) from 1992 to 2019, Garg and Singh [6] for the journal Library and Information Science Research from 1994 to 2020, Gaviria-Marin, Merigo, and Popa [7] for papers published from 1997 to 2016 in the Journal of Knowledge Management, Abdi et al. [8] for papers published in Information Processing & Management, Garg, Kumar and Geeta [9] and Velmurugan and Radhakrishnan [10] for Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science from 2007 to 2018 and 2008-2014 respectively, and Naseer et al. [11] for papers published from 2012 to 2016 in Journal of Informetrics respectively.The two journals under study has also been subjected to bibliometric analysis.Recently Giri and Das [2] made an analysis of papers published in volume 1 (2012) to volume 11 (2022) of the Journal of Scientometric Research.Authors provided a comprehensive picture at the development and evolution of the journal by utilizing bibliometric techniques and visualizing software.According to authors, the journal within a decade of its origin has attracted considerable interests of the global research community.Also, publication of leading-edge research in special issues on important thematic areas have paved the way for engaging a diverse pool of researchers within the journal.However, the study have some limitations like the methodology used for counting of records.Also, some terms used in the study have not been explained.The study is silent of the citation impact of output of authors, institutions and countries, which is an important aspect for bibliometric studies.
Studies comparing two or more journals with one another are by Garg and Bebi. [12]Authors compared the number of articles published in Annals of Library and Information Studies (ALIS) and DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology (DJLIT) for papers published from 2010 to 2013 and the citations obtained by these articles from 2010 to 2014 (April) using Google Scholar.Findings revealed that "both the journals are more or less on equal footing in terms of citations per paper as well as impact factor.However, DJLIT had better immediacy index than ALIS".Verma and Brahma [13] compared SRELS Journal of Information Management and DESIDOC Journal of Library and Information Technology in terms of distribution of articles, authorship pattern of articles, geographical distribution of articles, and major contributors to the two journals.The study revealed that "SRELS published more articles than DJLIT.SRELS published less number of foreign authored papers than DJLIT.DJLIT cited more number of references as compared to SRELS".Vazquez, Ardanuy, Lopez-Borrull and Olle et al. [14] compared Anales de Documentación (AD) and BiD textos universitaris en Biblioteconomia i Documentació (BID), two journals published from Spain, for papers published between 2000 and 2013.The study focused on the "number of articles and authors, and the contents and thematic study of articles published to determine the level of similarity between the contents of two journals, the subject areas they belong to and whether there is any subject continuity during the period analysed".The thematic study found that there is little similarity between the content of the two publications; the study found that BID is practitioner-focused unlike AD, which gave preference for academic content.Slutsky and Aytac [15] compared Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship (ISTL) and Science and Technology Libraries (STL) for papers published from 2005 to 2014.The study analysed a total of 338 research articles; 163 from STL and 175 from ISTL.The study found that bibliometrics and citation analysis is the top topic in STL while library resources is the most common topic in ISTL.Journal articles and web resources were the most common formats cited in both journals.The University of Arkansas is the number one institution with authors publishing in STL while Indiana University topped the list in ISTL.Furthermore, data from Scopus (2008-2015) showed that the total number of citations, Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), Impact per Publication (IPP) and SCImago journal rank were higher for STL.Maity and Bhattacharyya Sahu [16] made a bibliometric study of papers published from 2005 to 2015 in five journals published by Emerald group of publications.These five journals included in the study were Journal of Enterprise Information Management (JEIM), Journal of Intellectual Capital (JIC), Online Information Review (OIR), Performance Measurement and Metrics (PMM) and Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society (JICES).The study found that single-authored papers are predominant followed by two authored papers in all the five journals.Authors from UK contributed maximum numbers of papers and most papers have been contributed by Brunel University, UK followed by University of Hawaii, USA.The average article length mostly ranged from 16-20 pages in three journals except PMM and JICES where it ranged from 11-15 pages.A six-authored paper in JEIM received most citations followed by a single authored paper in the JIC.The review of the literature indicates that no study has been reported

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The basic aim of the present study is to compare different bibliometric parameters of the COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management (CJSIM) and the Journal of Scientometric Research (JSR) for the scholarly communications published in these two journals from 2012 to 2021 (10 years).A comparative study specifically of the scientific output and its impact in terms of citations received by the published articles in these two journals will be examined for the above-mentioned period.Bibliometric characteristics examined in the study for the two journals are type of documents published, pattern of output from 2012 to 2021, identification of prolific countries, institutions & authors and their citation impact in terms of Citation Per Paper (CPP), i-10 index, and papers not cited (PnC), to examine the pattern of citation and identification of highly cited papers for the two journals, and pattern of domestic and international collaboration of published papers.

METHODOLOGY
Authors downloaded the data from the Websites of the two journals available at https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/tsim20 for CJSIM and https://jscires.org/past-issues/for JSR.Data was downloaded for ten years from 2012 to 2021.MS Excel software was used for downloading and analysis of the data.Downloaded data consisted name of all the authors along with their affiliation(s), year of publication of the paper; and citations received by each paper.Google Scholar was used to obtain the citation data from January 16, 2024 to February 5, 2024.Title of the paper was pasted in the search box of Google Scholar and the number of citations as reflected in the search results was recorded in the MS Excel data sheet.Data was analysed to examine the pattern of growth of articles published from 2012 to 2021, the most prolific countries, institutions, authors and the impact of their output.The impact of the papers was examined using Citation Per Paper (CPP), i-10 index and Papers not Cited (PnC%).Authors also examined the citation pattern of output and identified highly cited papers as well as pattern of domestic and international collaboration of papers published in the two journals.Authors have used the method of complete count for analysis of publications output and the citations received by them.This method is different from the first author count where only the first author gets the credit for publication of a paper.In the complete count method, each country or institution or author in multi-authored papers are given unit credit for their contributions which inflates the number of contributions and citations.In the initial study citations for papers published were examined till May 30, 2023.In the revised version, citations have been updated from January 16, 2024 to February 5, 2024.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In the following paragraphs, authors of the study discuss the results of the analysis on different bibliometric aspects mentioned under the objectives of the study.

Type of documents published in the two journals
An analysis of records published in the two journals indicates that Journal of Scientometric Research (JSR) and COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management (CJSIM) published 276 and 236 records respectively from 2012 to 2021 excluding book reviews, editorial and others as these have not been included in the final analysis as these attract a very insignificant number of citations.Further analysis of data indicates that the number of research and review articles published in the two journals was almost equal.However, JSR also published other type of documents (Table 1) which were not published by CJSIM.Of the 11 editorials published in JSR, four were related to special issues published in the years 2019 (papers related to machine learning in scientometrics), 2020 (papers presented at Fourth International Conference and IndiaLICS International Training Workshop held in New Delhi in 2017and 2021), and 2021 (papers in first issue dealt with Science, Technology and Innovation in Latin America and the papers in second special issue dealt with Science, Technology, Innovation and Development in Africa).

Pattern of publication output from 2012 to 2021 in CJSIM and JSR
The pattern of output for papers published in CJSIM and JSR from 2012 to 2021 have been depicted graphically in Figure 1 below.During the period of 10 years, the CJSIM published 236 records as articles and reviews.Thus, it published 23.6 articles per year.
The number of records published in CJSIM was less than average number of records published in the years 2013, 2016 and 2018.JSR published 276 records as research articles, reviews, research note, perspective papers, and research in progress, commentary, scientific correspondence, and Webliography (for details see Table 1).Thus, JSR contributed 27.6 records per year.The number of records published in JSR was less than average number of records per year in all years except 2020 and 2021.The pattern of growth of papers published during the study period indicates an inconsistent pattern of output of papers published in both the journals.JSR published special issues in the years 2020 and 2021 resulting in a steep increase in the number of publications during these two years.Possible reason for less number of papers published in the year 2012 in JSR might be because it was the year when the journal was launched.

CJSIM
Table 2A presents the output data and its impact in terms of CPP, i-10 index and PnC for prolific countries.Based on the complete count of articles, it is observed that 39 countries including India contributed 582 articles.Table 2A lists 15 prolific countries that contributed 10 or more papers.These 15 prolific countries contributed 500 (85.9%)papers and the share of remaining 24 non-prolific countries is 82 (14.1%) of the total output.Of these 24 non-prolific countries, seven countries produced one paper only and the output of the remaining 17 countries varied in the range of two to nine papers.Of the 15 prolific countries listed in Table 2A, more than one-quarter (31.3%) papers were contributed by Indian authors followed by contributions from Iran (12.5%) and China (9.5%).Thus, these three prolific countries (India, Iran and China) together contributed more than half (53.3%) of the total output.The share of output for the remaining 12 prolific countries   listed in Table 2A is about 32.6% and their share of output ranged between 1.7 to 4.3 percent for different countries.The pattern of output indicates a skewed distribution of output as 24 non prolific countries contributed 82 papers only.These findings are similar to the pattern of output in DJLIT as has been reported by Garg, Lamba and Singh. [4]However, the findings of the present study are different from the bibliometric study of Garg and Bebi [11] for CJSIM for the period 2007-2019, where Belgium and USA were found to be among the most prolific countries with high CPP.
However, these two countries could not find place in the list of prolific countries in the present study.
The impact of the output of these prolific countries has been examined using Citation Per Paper (CPP), i-10 index and proportion of Papers not Cited (PnC%).The value of CPP for the global output is 7.9.Among all the countries listed in Table 2A, CPP is higher than the global CPP for India, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Slovenia.For the remaining countries, CPP is lower than the global value of CPP.Among all the countries CPP was the highest (10.3) for Germany followed by   Saudi Arabia and India.France has the lowest CPP among all the 15 prolific countries.Authors explored the reasons for the low CPP for France using i-10 index and PnC%.Data presented in Table 2A for the values of i-10 index and PnC% indicates that France had low CPP because, about 72% papers published by France remained uncited and no paper was found to be cited ten or more times.Of the total papers published by prolific countries, 140 (28%) papers were cited 10 or more times.In terms of an absolute number of papers, highest share of papers that received 10 or more citations were for India (59) followed by Iran (18).However, in terms of the proportion of total papers, i-10 index was highest for Indonesia and Turkey.Of the total papers contributed by prolific countries, 69 (13.8%) papers remained uncited.Highest share of uncited papers (72.7%) was for France followed by Indonesia (41.7%).For Saudi Arabia, Canada, Slovenia and Nigeria no paper remained uncited, i.e. all papers published by these four countries were cited.

JSR
Table 2B depicts the distribution of publication output and the impact of papers published in the journal for 12 prolific countries which contributed 10 or more papers during the study period of 2012 to 2021.Based on the complete count of articles, it is observed that 50 countries including India contributed 656 articles.The contribution of the 12 prolific countries is 516, slightly more than three-fourths (78.7%) of the total output and the share of remaining 38 countries contributing less than 10 papers is 21.3% of the total output.Of these 38 countries, nine countries produced one paper only and the output of the remaining 29 countries varied in the range of two to nine papers.Of the 12 prolific countries listed in Table 2B, more than 40% papers were contributed by Indian authors, followed by contributions from Iran and Brazil.Thus, these three prolific countries (India, Iran and Brazil) together contributed more than half (56.6%) of the total output.
The impact of the output of the 12 prolific countries has been examined using CPP, i-10 index and proportion of papers not cited (PnC%).The value of CPP for the global output is 7.2.Among all the countries listed in Table 2B, the value of CPP is higher than the global CPP for Malaysia, Turkey, Brazil, and Mexico in that order.For the remaining eight countries, the value of CPP is lower than the global value of CPP.The value of CPP among all the countries was highest (24.8) for Malaysia closely followed by Turkey.The lowest value of CPP was for Romania followed by China.Of the 516 papers published by prolific countries, 113 (21.9) papers were cited 10 or more times and the remaining 403 (78.1%) papers were cited less than 10 times.Among the 12 prolific countries, highest share of papers that received 10 or more citations were for India (64

CJSIM
Table 4A presents the output data and its impact in terms of CPP for prolific authors.In all 452 authors scattered in 39 different countries contributed 582 papers.Thus, the productivity per author is 1.3 papers approximately.Of the 452 authors, 363 (81.8%) authors contributed only one paper and remaining 89 authors produced more than one paper each.two each from Iran and Taiwan, and one each from Azerbaijan, Belgium and Germany.Among the 12 authors Yuh-Shan Ho of Asia University of Taiwan topped the list with 12 papers followed by Lutz Bornmann from the Max Planck Society (Headquarters) Germany.Among all the authors the value of CPP is highest for B. Elango (IEFT College of Engineering, India) followed by S.L. Sangam (Karnataka University, India) and Bornmann Lutz (Max Planck Society (H.Qtrs.), Germany).Authors explored the reason for high CPP for Elango B found that one papers by the author was published in international collaboration with Ho Yuh-Shan which was cited 30 times.Also, CPP for Bornmann Lutz is high because one paper of the author is among the highly cited papers.Possible reason for low CPP for other authors is that a large proportion of papers published by these authors remained uncited.

JSR
In all 540 authors scattered in 50 different countries contributed 656 papers.Thus, the productivity per author is 1.3 papers approximately.Of these, 193 authors were from India and remaining 327 were from other countries of the globe.Of the 540 authors, 480 (88.5%) authors contributed only one paper and remaining 60 authors produced more than one paper each.Table 4B lists these 15 authors who contributed four or more papers along with the value of CPP.Among these 15 prolific authors, 12 authors were from India, and one each from Azerbaijan, the UK and the USA.Among the 15 authors B.M. Gupta of CSIR-NIScPR, New Delhi topped the list with 11 papers.Among all the authors the value of CPP is highest (27.

Pattern of citation in CJSIM and JSR
The impact of each article published in a journal can be measured by counting the number of times these are cited by other articles.
High levels of citation to a publication are interpreted as signs of influence, impact, and visibility.An author's visibility can be measured through a determination of how often his/her publications have been cited in publications by other authors.6A.

JSR
Of the 276 papers published in JSR 11 papers were cited 27 or more times during the study period.These 11 papers were contributed by India (3), Turkey (2), and one each from Brazil, USA and the Republic of Benin.All the three papers contributed by Indian authors were published in domestic collaboration among different institutions.Two papers were published in international collaboration between the Netherlands & Austria and the other between Malaysia and Azerbaijan.These 11 papers attracted about 35% of all citations.Among these papers, paper authored by H. Dervis from Turkey received the highest (310) citations followed by Leta Jacqueline with 93.However, the rank of these papers changes if arranged by Citation Per Year (CPY).For instance, paper ranked at 5 and 6 changes to 2 and 3 respectively.Similarly, the rank of other papers also changes.This can be seen from the last column of Table 6B.

Pattern of papers published in domestic collaboration
Tables 7A and 7B present details of countries and institutions which published papers in domestic collaboration for CJSIM.Data for JSR for the collaboration have been depicted in Tables 8A and 8B.

CJSIM
Of the 39 countries which published papers in the journal during the study period from 2012 to 2021 only 16 countries published 74 papers in domestic collaboration (Table 7A) constituting about 31% of total papers published in the journal.Among these 16 countries, India, the publishing country of the journal topped the list with 32 papers in domestic collaboration followed by Iran with 15 papers.Thus, these two countries published 47 (63.5%) of total papers published in domestic collaboration.Remaining 14 countries published 27 papers in domestic collaboration.The number of papers published by each country has been depicted in Table 7A.Further analysis of data on domestic collaboration indicates that 118 institutions from different countries contributed these papers.

JSR
Of the 50 countries which published papers in the journal during the study period from 2012 to 2021, 23 countries published 92 papers in domestic collaboration (Table 8A) constituting about 33.4% of total papers published in the journal.Among these 23 countries, India topped the list with 46 papers in domestic collaboration followed by Iran with 12 papers.Thus, these two countries published 58 (61.7%) of total papers published in domestic collaboration.Remaining 21 countries published 34 papers in domestic collaboration.The number of papers published by each country has been depicted in Table 8 A. Further analysis of data on domestic collaboration indicates that 147 institutions located in different parts of the globe contributed these papers.Table 10B list name of primary institution and collaborating institutions from India and Iran which published 10 or more papers in domestic collaboration.

Pattern of papers published in international collaboration
Tables 9A and 9B depicts details of papers published in international collaboration in the two journals respectively.

CJSIM
Of the 39 countries which contributed papers to the journal, only 19 countries contributed 38 papers in international collaboration (Table 9A).number of papers in international collaboration were published by China (9) followed by Russia (4) Iran and USA (3 each), France, Germany, India and Saudi Arabia (2 each).Remaining 11 countries published only one paper each in international collaboration.Collaborative partners for each country is depicted in Table 9A.Among the countries listed in Table 9A, USA had collaborative links with five countries followed by China with collaborative links with four countries and Germany, Russia, and Saudi Arabia with three different countries.All other countries had collaborative links only with one country except India and Iran which had collaborative links with two countries.

3A presents the output data and its impact in terms of CPP, i-10 index and PnC for nine prolific institutions.Two hundred thirty-nine institutions located in India and abroad contributed 582 publications.Thus, on an average 2.5 paper was contributed by each institute.Of the 239 institutions, 62 institutions were located in different states of India and the remaining 177 institutions were located in other 38 countries scattered in different parts of the globe.Table3Alists nine prolific institutions that contributed 10 or more papers along with their citations and other different

Table 4B : Most prolific authors and impact of their output JSR.
Varanasi followed by Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi had high CPP because one paper published by scholars from the university was cited 30 times and none of its paper remained uncited.Value of CPP for Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi was high because of the 31 papers published by the scholars of the university, one paper was cited 70 times.Lowest CPP is for Dalian University of Technology (China), because, of the 15 papers published by it, no paper was cited 10 or more times and also about one-third of the paper published by the university remained uncited.
bibliometric indicators.Of the total papers contributed by these prolific institutions about 25.4% were cited 10 or more times and 15 (11.5%) papers remained uncited.Among these nine institutions, the output is mainly concentrated in two institutions, namely Dalian University of Technology, China, and Asia University, institutions that contributed 10 or more papers along with their citations and other bibliometric indicators.These eight prolific institutions together contributed about 22% papers of the total output and also attracted about the same proportion of total citations.Among these eight institutions, the output is mainly concentrated in two Indian institutions, namely Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR-NIScPR) formerly CSIR-National Institute of Science, Technology and Development Studies.These two Indian institutions contributed about nine per cent of the total output.The global value of CPP for the output published in the journal is 7.2.Among these eight institutions, four institutions had either more or equal CPP as the global CPP and for the remaining four CPP was lower than the global CPP.The highest CPP (11.2) was for Banaras Hindu University,
