Furqan; Kanwar, S.S.; Kumar, Pradeep <br/> <br/>Abstract: Quantitative analysis of citations has immense value in library management, specially in selection of periodicals for subscription. Periodicals as primary sources of information have more importance in research libraries than other sources of information. The cost of the periodicals is increasing day by day and hence its judicious selection is essential. Citation analysis is a useful tool for the modern libraries in this regard. In present study an analysis has been made of 20,046 citations mentioned in 777 scientific and technical reports published by National lnstitute of Hydrology. Roorkee, since its inception i.e., December 1978. The paper gives an account of year-wise break-up of different categories of reports. Different bibliographic forms of literature cited in the reports such as journals, books, conference proceedings, technical reports, IAHS publications and other documents like Ph.D. Thesis, M.E./M.Tech dissertation, bulletins, standards etc. have been analysed and presented. A ranked list of 56 most important journals related with hydrology and water resources, out of 140 cited journals in the reports has been prepared. This ranked list of journals covers 92.7% of the total journal citations. The analysis have revealed that 40% of total journal citations relate to only 3 journals namely Water Resources Research (1 5.0 1 %), Journal of Hydrology(13.43%) and ASCE's Journal of Hydraulic Engineering(7.56%). The country-wise distribution of most cited journal has also been prepared and categorised. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 108-115 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4062 Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY: A CITATION ANALYSIS <br/> <br/>Authors: Shokeen, Ashu; Kaushik, Sanjay K. <br/> <br/>Abstract: The present paper is aimed to find out the authorship pattern and citation pattern of article that appeared Indian Journal of Plant Physiology The study covers issue nos. 1 to 4 of volume 7 published between January to December 2002, covering 61 articles published in these issues. Overall 1149 citations featuring 2770 authors have been made during the year. The results indicate that 39% articles published (citing articles) in these issues are three-authored. However, it is found that two authored citations (cited articles) are more common which is followed by singel-authored papers. The results reveal that journal articles are predominant with 81 % of total citations. The ratio of author self citation to total citations is 1: 16.65. The ratio of Journal Self Citation to total citations is 1:31.91. The results also highlight that 398 citations are below 10 years old, whereas 358 citations are below 20 years but more than 10 years old. It is clear that a majority of documents cited in these issues were published not more than twenty years ago. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 104-107 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4061 Title: AN INTRODUCTION TO AUDITING AND CONTROL OF DIGITAL LIBRARY SYSTEMS <br/> <br/>Authors: Das, Anup Kumar; Dutta, Bidyarthi <br/> <br/>Abstract: Digital libraries consist of interactive and integrated digital information systems. The intelligent control of information systems is necessary to enhance the capabilities and effectiveness of such digital libraries. The information systems auditing and control is popular in other information systems, like e-banking systems, CRM systems, e-governance systems, etc. To exploit the optimum benefits from a digital library system, some auditing and control measures should be maintained. This paper depicts the issues and elements of auditing and control of digital library systems <br/> <br/>Page(s): 99-103
