Mapping Research output of Faculty of Agriculture, Assam Agricultural University: A Bibliometric assessment from 2009 to 2018
Abstract
The study explores the research performance of the Faculty of Agriculture under Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat. It examines total publications, year-wise distribution of papers, authorship patterns, h-index, highly preferred journals, and validity of Lotka's Law and Bradford’s Law. A total of 378 articles were published from 2009 to 2018, retrieved from the Scopus database. The study reveals that the maximum number of 77 (20.37 %) journal articles were published in 2017. The maximum number of journal articles with more than five authors is 25.4 %. Lotka's law is valid in the present study. The degree of collaboration "C" is 0.96, and the distribution of core journals does not fit into Bradford's Law.
