Web of Science provides significantly more coverage of University publications and generate the Citations, Self Citations. During 1989-2016 Tamilnadu Universities have contributed 39336 Publications and received 3, 73,843 Citations. 288 papers are cited more than 100 times. The range of Self Citations is 5 Percent to 20 Percentage. An average citation per Article 9.50 was observed among Universities that are engaged in active research. The bibliometric/Scientometric studies are frequently used to assess the research publicationsand to analyze the growth of contributions and collaborations. The analysis reviews that “Anna University” has highest publications (9376) stake and secures first rank with highest citations (87426) and h-index (91), it is followed by “University of Madras” with 7962 publications and having citations of 75621 and h-index of 81. It is also found that “Mother Terasa University” at last position with a meager contribution of just 27 publications with h-index of 3 during the study period. Among the second phase universities funded by UGC, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli at top position with 3471 publications having 36621 citations and h-index of 70. It is also revealed that Bharathidasan University secured second position (6525) publications with a share of self-citations (17.82 %) while “Annamalai University” at top with 10,703 (19.05 %). This study also reveals that Gandhigram Rural University (16.54%) and Bharathidasan University (10.55%) are in first and second position in terms of highest average citation per article respectively. The highest individual citation for a research paper is 671, which belongs to “Anna University”, followed by Bharathiar University and Tamilnadu Agriculture University with 643 and 563 citations respectively for a single paper. It is also found that the collaboration between the conventional Universities is established. There is no collaboration between the professional Universities except “Anna University”. Bharathidasan University has highest collaboration with “Anna University” and “Madurai Kamaraj University”. This analysis also reveals that Anna University has highest citation of 8841 publications with 2389 research institutions from 63 countries and received research funding from 1533 from national and international agencies. It is followed by Bharathidasan University having collaboration with 1164 research organizations from 55 countries and received funding from 734 agencies. It is also known that all the surveyed Universities are having collaboration with hundreds of research institutes and received research funding except M.G.R Medical University.Item Quantitative Analysis of Global Literature on the Game of Basketball in Sport Sciences(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Gopinath, M.; Viswanathan, J.; Nageswaran, A.S.The growth and development of any sport largely depends upon several aspects. Research and publications on a particular sport play a major role in the growth and development of that game. Today Information scientists are applying very many techniques to assess the publication on a particular area. The bibliometrics and scientometrics are popular methods used throughout the world to assess the publication on a particular area. Basketball is considered to be the second most popular international sport in the world. Literature on ‘Basketball’ is plenty, which is available in various forms. The main focus of this work is to study, assess, analyse and further to document the publication pattern on the game of Basketball from the electronic source. The purpose of the present study was to analyse the global literature on the game of Basketball in the research area of ‘Sport Sciences’ which was available in the electronic form. In the quantitative analysis, various parameters namely, year-wise distribution, country-wise distribution, language-wise distribution, title-wise distribution, institutions-wise distribution and author-wise distribution were systematically analysed. This would enable the researcher to measure and quantify the amount of literature and research output on Basketball game during the study period. The data for this study were retrieved from the ‘Web of Science’ database by using search string the term ‘Basket ball’ in ‘topic’ published in all the years and all types were analyzed. In all, 5,729 documents were found in Web of Science database from 1st January 1989 to 21st August 2016. In order to narrow down the study the researchers used the ‘research area’ option and selected the area ‘Sport Sciences’. Overall 2,819 documents were taken for final analysis.In data collection, initially the researchers had downloaded the bibliographical data in the format of notepad files. The collected data were analyzed with the assistance of ‘Histcite Software’ for data classification and finally, the unique data are rearranged in MS-Excel format to eliminate duplication from downloaded data. To cross check the data, with the assistance of ‘analyse result’ option, the data for analyse were checked. Using the collected data, the Quantitative analysis was done. Using illustrations in the form of diagram, the result of the study was discussed broadly in the paper.Item An Assessment of Indian Citation Publication Output: A Study on Indian Citation Index(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Dhanakar, M.A.Indian Citation Index one of the pioneers in India to develop, preserve, disseminate and serve customized knowledge products and services to scholarly world.Indian Citation Index (ICI) is developed by "The Knowledge Foundation" (a registered society) with the required support of M/s Diva Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. Indian Citation Index. ICI provides a multidisciplinary research platform covering about 1000 scholarly journals from India. The ICI database also produces other useful byproducts like Indian Science Citation Index (ISCI), Indian Social Science and Humanities Citation Index (ISSHCI), Indian Journals Citation Reports (IJCR), Indian Science and Technology Abstracts (ISTA), and Directory of Indian Journals (DOIJ).The ICI database enables access and empowers users to search, track, measure and collaborate in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities to turns raw data/information into the powerful knowledge one needs. ICI feature makes this database a specialized information product and highly useful for researchers, policy makers, decision takers, editors, librarians and so on (ICI, 2016). Indian Citation Database has wide coverage of 5,38,100 number of articles documented in 935 publications with 9,969,332 references. It is also found that there are 24 major subject categories. In that Agriculture has 87 journals with 21303 articles followed by Anthropology has7 journals with 877 articles; Arts & Humanities has 7 journals with 1398 articles. Top five institutions from India are Indian Agricultural Research Institute IARI (5231), Punjab Agricultural University PAU (5801), All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi (AIIMS New Delhi) 5051, Annamalai University (4034), Tamilnadu Agriculture University (3958). The citations range from highest to lowest as covered by ICI. It is found that there is a gradual growth of literature covered by ICI over the years. The study limited only to ICI. It is not compared any other international database. It is found that there is a significant difference between the contributors, contributing agencies and the citation trends.
