Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF PURE & APPLIED MATHEMATICS: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY

Authors: Narang, Asha

Abstract: Bibliometric analysis of 8396 citations appended to 737 articles published in the Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Mathematics, volumes 29 to 33 during the years 1998- 2002 and 470 citations appended to 70 articles published in the maiden volume 1 published in 1970 has been carried out to observe the distribution of contributions, authorship pattern, citation analysis, geographical distribution of contributions and number of pages used in each volume. A comparative study of articles published in five volumes vis-a-vis those in volume 1 has been made. Results indicate that the number of contributions is increasing in successive volumes. Highest number of papers have been written by joint authors. The most cited documents are articles from the research joumals. The contributions in this journal from India and other countries are almost equal. Among the Indian states, Uttar Pradesh is the top contributor whereas among the Indian universities/institutes, University of Delhi is at the top. At the International level, India is the top contributor followed by China. The growth and popularity of this journal is found to be showing an upward trend.
