Abstract


This analysis intends to investigate research collaborations and authorship patterns in Library & Information Science Research journals from 1987 to 2020. The data was collected from the Scopus database. MS-Excel, VOS Viewer, and R. Programming ware used for tabulation analysis and visualized data.  In this paper, the researchers have analyzed the degree of collaboration, author productivity, collaboration coefficient, and research trends. The result shows that the maximum number of articles published in 2015 is 45 (8.80%) and a large number of publications are single-authored, and the average degree of collaboration is 0.56.
