| Abstract: | Quantitative
analysis is carried out to identify the literature growth, authorship pattern,
collaboration and journal
distribution
on diarrhoeal disease research in Bangladesh based on data obtained
from PubMed, Web
of Science and Scopus
databases.
Well-established bibliometric laws, such as Lotka’s law and Bradford’s
law are employed to further explore the
characteristics
of diarrhoeal literature. Bradford-Zipf distribution is applied to determine
the core journals on diarrhoeal
disease
research in Bangladesh.
Moreover, a comparison was made to determine the strength of diarrhoeal
research in
Bangladesh
using h-index on
bibliographic data from Scopus.
The result shows increasing R&D activities on diarrhoeal
research
in Bangladesh.
Lotka’s law and Bradford distribution do not apply to diarrhoeal disease
research in Bangladesh.
The h-index
count indicates that Bangladesh
tops the diarrhoeal research impact list in South Asia
region. |
