English abstract

This study critically examines the publications that appeared in the inaugural eleven volumes of Journal of Scientometric Research (JSciRes). The journal publishes 324 research communications under ten categories along with 16 editorials and 60 book reviews. Analysis of research communications shows that diversity plays the pivotal role in the evolution of the journal and the journal covers almost the entire spectrum of scientometric and bibliometric research with a shift towards innovation and policy studies. It has also been found that the journal has given preference to cover contemporary topics more aggressively to reach out to the community at large.
