Item Mapping the Bird Flu Research Output: A Bibliometric Study.(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka., 2017) Duraipandi., R.; Kamble, V.T.; Devendrappa.Bibliometrics is a method of study to analyze and measure the quantitative output of all branches of sciences and social sciences, which directly related with library and information science. Bird Flu is a severe, often fatal, type of influenza that affects birds, especially poultry, and that can also be transmitted to humans which indexed by Web of Science online database, indicates that the publication output in the global perspective. This study analyses the 669 records published by scientists on Bird Flu during 2000-2015(16 years). The highest numbers of papers were published during the year 2006 with 158 records with (23.6%) with top rank and followed the year 2005 with 101(15.1%) of publications ranked at second. Overall 1412 authors were contributed 334 publications in the journal and cited reference with 9710 records of the articles. The word wise distribution is 1783 records of in the bird flu research with the LCS 204; GCS 6589.Item Film Radio Television Research Publications: A Global Perspective.(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka., 2017) Subbiah, M.The study analyses the film radio television in Global for a period of twenty-four years (1993-2017) based on the Web of Science database core collection. The objective of the study was to perform a Scientometric analysis of all film radio television research publications by Global scientists. The parameters studied include the growth of publications and citations, relative growth rate and doubling time, national and international collaboration, highly productive institutions, highly productive authors, highly preferred journals and highly cited publications. A total of 194 publications were published by the Global scientists in film radio television during 1993-2017 which received 825 citations (without self-citation 801). The highest number of publications 37 was published in 2016. RMIT University topped the list with 28 publications which received 55 citations. Australia is a top producing country with 69 publications (35.6%, TLCS 4, TGCS 123). H-index 12; citation per item 4.23Item Influence of Age, Gender and Academic position in Scientific Productivity: A Large-Scale Analysis of Sri Lankan University Academics.(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka., 2017) Pratheepan, T.; Weerasooriya, W. A.It is well known that there are large differences in the scientific production between academics. Relatively small proportion of academics or scientists contributes to the majority of the publications. There are factors influencing in scientific performance of researcher. Objective of this study is to investigatepublication rate of Sri Lankan academics in the university system by the gender, age and position. These factors are important variables when analyzing scientific productivity at the individual level. In the analysis, all academics were assigned to five major fields. The study was considered 4,300 academics in 14,550observations (i.e. publication numbers per years). Thus, there are on average almost three observations per person analyzed.Non-publishing personnel have not been included in the study as only people who have published article online or available in Google Scholar. This may be regarded as a limitation of this study as the inclusion of the non-publishing researchers could possiblyincrease the publication rate differences between genders, age groups and positions.Publication output has been measured as article equivalents per person per year. In this calculation, co-authored publications are fractionalized among the authors. Study identifies the relative importance of the different factors based on regression analyses (OLS) of each major academic field. Finding shows that academic position is more important than age and gender. In the fields analyzed, the regression model can explain 13.5–19 per cent of the variance in the publication output at the levels of individuals. This also means that most of the variance in publication rate is due to other factors.Item International Research Publications on Education in Sri Lanka: A Scientomeric Study.(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka., 2017) Navaneethakrishnan, S.; Raja, S.; Kupeshan, R.Quantitative studies of scholarly communication activities tend to have a better understanding of phenomena of construction, dissemination and use of scientific and technical knowledge. Nowadays scientometrics is considered as a standard tool of science policy and research management. It is also realized that this is the opportune time for the library professionals to study the current trend of Sri Lankan education system in the view international scholars to identify the role of the libraries in fulfilling the obligations specified in these research studies. This study was carried out with the intention to analyze the international research publications on education in Sri Lanka. The process of selection of publications was utilizing scientometric approach of research publications indexed by the web of science (WoS) database. Quantitative research methodological approach was taken, based on scientometric analysis. Results of this study shows a total of 201 publications were released by the Global scientists in education during 2010-2016 which received 4873 citations. The mean number of publications per year was 16.57%. It states that globally 9.45percents of items were from lone authors, pursued by 16.42% authors by double authors etc. 0.91 percent of collaborative author’s articles released throughout the study periods. The value of a mean RGR of publications which declined from 3.32 in 2010 to 0.32 in 2016, simultaneously the values of doubling time (Dt) of publications expanded from 0.21 in 2010 to 3.04 in 2016. The high frequency keywords were “Sri lanka” 109 (54.2%, TCLS 14, TGCS 332). The foremost cited quotation is Katulanda P, 2008, diabetic med, V25, P1062, DOI 10.1111/j.1464-5491.2008.02523.x. The suggestion of this research is to setup an enabling environment for more studies across the nations on Sri Lankan education and international researchers need to be encouraged on this.Item Global Perspective Research Productivity on Swine Flu: A Scientometric Study.(Department of Library and Information Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2017) Duraipandi, R.; Aravind; Rao, N.Scientometrics is a method to measure quantitative output of all branches of sciences and social sciences. Today, it is very popular area of study in library and information science. An analysis of 958 publications published by scientists on Swine Flu during 1991-2014 (19 years) which indexed in Web of Science universal Database indicates the publications in the global perspectives. Swine Flu is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease of pigs, caused by one of the several strains of swine influenza A. The virus is spread among pigs by aerosols, through direct and indirect contact, and also by asymptomatic carrier pigs. The highest numbers of papers were published during the year 2009 with 270 (28.2%) records and ranked at top; the year 2010 has scored 243 (25.4%) and the year 2011 has scored 187(19.6%) of publication and ranked at third. Overall, 3172 authors were contributed 501 publications in the journal and cited reference with 16467 records of the articles. The average citation per item is 9.43 and the h- index is 44 with LCS 583; GCS 8983; CR 16467.
