ANALYSIS OF IETE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH USING SCIENTOMETRIC INDICATORS

Abstract

This research undertakes a comprehensive scientometric examination of the IETE Journal of Research (IETEJR) covering the years 2009 to 2019, with particular emphasis on publication trends, authorship patterns, collaborative practices, and citation dynamics. A total of 1,011 research papers published in Volumes 55 to 65 were analyzed using quantitative indicators, including authorship productivity, degree of collaboration, collaboration index, and keyword distribution. The findings indicate that multi-authored papers dominate, with India recording the highest number of publications, followed by Iran and the People’s R of China. The analysis further underscores the most frequently used keywords, citation patterns, and yearly growth in publication output. This offers valuable perspectives on research productivity, collaboration patterns, and thematic focus in IETEJR, establishing it as an important reference for researchers, policymakers, and academic institutions aiming to assess the journal’s scholarly impact.
