The analysis focused on the distributionpattern of articles, Co-authorship analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, andco-occurrence of the author's keywords.Purpose: The purpose of the study is to show various network analyses and to display agraphical picture of prominent research journal ALIS over the study period were performedand analyzed in VOS viewer mapping software.Research problem: There are several studies have already done on the researchproductivity of the different journals of different fields. But none has done any research withrespect to visualisation and mapping of journal Annals of Library and Information studiesduring 2011-2020.Objectives: To identify the year wise distribution of publications, visualize co-authorshipanalysis, co-citation analysis of cited authors, and bibliographic coupling of authors during2011-2020.Methodology: The dataset was compiled from ALIS publication documents indexed byScopus. Bibliographic data of a total of 312 documents were retrieved for the analysis. Thedataset of 312 documents was downloaded from scopus database in .csv format and itincludes citation information, bibliographical information, abstract and keywords, andreferences. All the data collected is then analyzed using the scientometric tool VOSviewer.Findings: It was observed that the highest 38 (12.18%) articles were published in the year2015. Garg K.C. was the strongest author in co-authorship analysis with 11 documents, 57citations, and 1318 total link strength. The journal ALIS highest co-cited with otherdocuments having a total link strength of 98241. The highest number of citations appendedin the journals were from India and it is highly bibliographically coupled. The keyword'scientometric' occurred frequently compare to other author's keywords.KEYWORDS:Scientometrics; Bibliometrics; Annals of Library and Information Studies;ALIS journal; Co-citation; Bibliographic coupling; VOS viewer114https://lisrbu.wixsite.com/dlis/rbu-journal-of-lis
Das and Verrma: Co-citation and bibliographic coupling …IntroductionThe term Scientometrics was coined by Vassily VNalimov and Z M Mulchenko in 1969 which is equivalentto the Russian term 'Naukometriya'. As per Tague-Sutcliffe. Scientometrics is the study of the quantitativemeasures of science as a subject. The focus point ofScientometrics is the assessment of science and is in thisway measurement of the growth, arrangement,interrelationship, and efficiency of subjects (Hood andWilson, 2001). Citations are the mirror image of diverseconnectivity among subfields and citation design deliversparticulars on the growth of the academic structures of afield. Co-citation analysis was mostly used to map theknowledge networks of a selected research arena.Exploration of objects in a scientific discipline can becategorized through a bibliographic study based on theirbibliographic information, such as citations, keywords,topics, countries, authors, sources, and titles. Using morerefined bibliographic analysis approaches, an investigatorcan generate bibliographic maps with the same data,visualize and analyze bibliometric networks, createbibliographic coupling, and evaluate the strengths of thelinks of the bibliographic coupling.A bibliographic map usually comprises only one type ofitem. The Item may be authors, publications, or citations,etc. A pair of items are connected with links. It shows theassociations or connections between items. In the presentstudy, bibliographic coupling links and co-occurrencelinks are being illustrated. Each link has strength, shownby a numerical value. A higher numerical value of linkstrength shows a stronger link between items. The linkstrength means the number of cited references two itemshave in common. Also, when interpreting co-occurrencelinks, link strength represents the counts of publications inwhich two terms occur at the same time. Links and itemsform a bibliographic network together (Newman, 2004)Relevantly, the current study endeavors to quantify thedistribution pattern of a leading Indian alluded journal“Annals of Library and Information Studies (ALIS) from2011 to 2020.Source JournalNational Institute of Science Communication andInformation Resources (NISCAIR) appeared on 30September 2002 with the merging of the National Instituteof Science Communication (NISCOM) and IndianNational Scientific Documentation Center (INSDOC).Both NISCOM and INSDOC, the two head organizationsof the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research(CSIR), were dedicated to the distribution anddocumentation of S&T information.Annals of Library and Information studies which finished64 years of journey in 2017 is the oldest enduring Englishlanguage library and Information science journal publishedfrom India. The journal was started in 1954 by the pastIndian National Scientific Documentation Center(INSDOC) as Annals of Library science with the Father ofIndian Library Science, Dr. SR Ranganathan as itsoriginator - Editor. In the ten years that he was Editor, hecontributed 87 articles for this journal. In 1964, the journalwas renamed as Annals of Library science andDocumentation and in 2001 it was given its present name,Annals of Library and Information studies.

Where the output of a nationor region can be assessed at the policy level; at thestrategic level, the output of the institution or university ordepartment to be evaluated; and at the tactical level,significant features of scientific growth will be recognizedand assessed. , The vital process for all three is similar;collecting data, describing indicators, assessing keyactivities, and showing database assessments. A prominentstudy by Wanying, Jin, & Kun (2018) discovered theassociations among different metrics, comprising 1frequency-based and 6 network-based metrics, to know theinfluence of network structure on top analysis on co-wordnetworks. They observed that core ness is best forclassifying keywords. Consequently, author bibliographiccoupling analysis can be merged with author keywordsranking in recognizing the information arrangement andthe research faces of Annals of library and informationstudies journal. Li and Chu (2016) studied an innovativemethod of improved co-word analysis and prospered in theexploration of research. Nowadays author keywords arealso collectively used to conduct keyword analysis.Boyack and Klavans (2010) studied the accurateness ofdissimilar citation-based approaches and found thatbibliographic coupling is relatively better. In a row, manyindications. Boyack (2009) effectively plotted theknowledge structure of Chemistry by applyingbibliographic coupling. Kuusi and Meyer (2007) describedthe correctness of bibliographic coupling in anticipatingtechnical inventions. Morris, Yen, Wu, & Tesfaye (2003)were claimed Bibliographic coupling as a suitable way forresearch faces identification in mapping science. Authorbibliographic coupling is a stretched version ofbibliographic coupling specifically pointing to overcomethe restrictions of the author co-citation method. Narin,Olivastro & Stevens (1994) conducted a study, the purposeof using scientometrics is more to the tactical presentationlevel. The tactical analysis tried to generate a modelassociated with what happens in a research field, to see itsgrowth, advancement, and future track from a widerviewpoint than traditional analysis. Vladutz and Cook(1984) studied and concluded that bibliographic couplingcan give precise outcomes in terms of the topicrelationship.From the above review of literature, it has been observedthat various authors conducted the scientometric study toexamine Co-authorship analysis, bibliographic couplinganalysis, citation analysis, and some other parameters toowhich are relevant to the objectives of this study.Objectives of the studyThe Objective of the present study is to:1. Identify the year-wise publication distribution andauthorship pattern of Annals of Library andInformation Studies (ALIS) journal during 2011-2020,2. Visualize co-authorship analysis of the authors.
