Indian researchers belonging to India Meteorological Department contributed most of the items. Climatology, agricultural and environmental meteorology, synoptic meteorology, hydrometeorology, numerical weather forecasting and physical meteorology constituted about 56 % of the total output. Time lag between receipt and acceptance of the manuscript is about 11 months, while the time lag between acceptance and publication of the manuscript is about 9. Editorial board members belonged to domestic institutions. The references cited by the journal are mostly international like other journals in the field. However, majority of the citations are older than 10 years. Based on the pattern of citations the journal received in the international literature its impact factor for 2005 and 2006 is almost the same (0.19). However, of the 49 Indian journals indexed by SCI-E in 2005, 18 have impact factor less than or equal to Mausam. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 76-80 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/832 Title: Strategic Management Journal: a citations study <br/> <br/>Authors: Raut, Tapas Kumar; Sahu, Sada Bihari; Ganguly, Shantanu <br/> <br/>Abstract: Highlights the distribution of various forms of publication, authorship trends, most frequently cited periodicals and geographical distribution of the literature in the area of strategic management. It is found that researchers use journals more frequently than other from of documents and authorship pattern concentrated mainly on single and joint authors in books where as in journals. The top ranking journals in the field of strategic management are Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Journal and Administrative Science Quarterly that represent 32% of the literature coverage. The results reveal the geographical distribution of core journals of this literature, which are mainly concentrated in the USA & UK. The methodology is based on the bibliometrics techniques of citation analysis, which are applied in all the articles published in the Strategic Management Journal for two consecutive years 2005 and 2006. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 69-75 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/831 Title: Use of search engines by research scholars and faculty members of physics departments in the universities of Karnataka State <br/> <br/>Authors: Biradar, B.S.; Kumar, B.T.Sampath <br/> <br/>Abstract: Studies the use of various search engines, frequency of use of search engines, factors that influence use of the search engines, use of search strategy by Physics research scholars and faculty members in the universities of Karnataka State. Shows that majority of respondents (84.33%) used search engines to retrieve information on the Internet and most frequently used search engines are Google (72.85%) and Yahoo (53.57%). <br/> <br/>Page(s): 62-68 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/830 Title: Pramana - Journal of Physics: A scientometric analysis <br/> <br/>Authors: Kumara, Anil; Prakasan, E. R.; Kalyane, V.L.; Kumar, Vijai <br/> <br/>Abstract: Focuses on publishing trend; impact factor; authorship pattern; types of articles; institutional collaboration of authors; affiliated institutions of authors; countries of contributing authors; keyword analysis; and referencing pattern. The number of articles being published in Pramana and its ISI impact factor are increasing. There is an upward trend in number of collaborated papers. Authors from University of Delhi, Delhi; Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai; Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad; Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar; Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbaietc. contributed most number of articles. One fourth of the total articles published in Pramana are from out side India, the host country of the journal and the number of articles submitting from other countries is also increasing. Cosmology; supersymmetry; chaos; quantum chromodynamics; phase transition; and quark-gluon plasma are the leading micro-fields of physics to which maximum number of articles published in Pramana. The average number of references per article is found as 21.85 and it is 104.4 when the average is taken only for review articles. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 52-61
