English abstract

This study based on 2318 citations appended to 106 research articles of the year 2010-2012 of Annals of Library and Information Studies. The authorship pattern shows that 57.7 percent are single-authored, 27.8 percent double- and 10.5 percent triple-authored and the remaining 4.1 percents are joint contributions of four to seven authors. There are 2061 cited authors and nearly 350 cited journals. It is clear that a majority of documents cited in these years were published not more than twenty years ago. The Bradford’s law and Lotka’s law were verified for the cited journals and authors respectively. It has been observed that the respective distribution patterns fairly in consonance with these two bibliometric laws.
