English abstract

The study focuses on various facets of authorship pattern in data science during 2001-2018. Annual growth rate of articles, author productivity rate, degree of collaboration, author collaboration network visualization etc. are discussed. The highest AGR 46.43% was noticed in the year 2016 and the lowest -20.75% in the year 2002. Only 21.83% of articles were published by single author whereas 78.17% of articles were contributed by two or more than two authors. The lowest AAPP was 2.25 with the highest PPA was 0.44 observed in the year 2015. The overall Degree of Collaboration is 0.78 that indicates a large number of collaborations among the authors. The highest Collaborative Index 5.06 is seen in the year 2001 and the minimum 2.63 in 2015.
