study is based on the references appended to the articles published in Indian Journal of Environmental
Protection volumes. 14, 19 and 24 published in the years 1994, 1999 and 2004
respectively. Study highlights the authorship trend and collaborative research

be 0.85. The study also found that on an average 11.595 references are referred
to by each article. Major contribution is made by universities (31.622%)
followed by colleges (24.054%) and research institutions (23.784%). It is also
observed that the proportion of single authored papers have decreased from
20.290% in the year 1994 to 4.762% in 2004. |
