Highly cited papers reflect the top 1% of field and publication year papers. Highly cited papers are important in terms of the number of citations they receive in their subject area and often attract the attention of most researchers in terms of their high quality. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze highly cited papers in the field of sport sciences from a bibliometric perspective and to identify subject areas that have the potential to be highly cited. This research analyzed highly cited papers in the field of sport sciences published during 2010-2020, indexed in the Web of Science of the Clarivate Analytics. The results show that most of the highly cited papers in sport sciences are in sport medicine and published by prominent and renowned researchers. Moreover, most of these papers were contributed by researchers from the European and American continents. The results also show that the United States of America (USA), McMaster University of Canada, and Professor Lars Engebretsen led in publishing highly cited papers in sport sciences. It can be concluded that five thematic clusters were formed by highly cited papers in sport sciences, most of which were in the subject area of sport injuries and exercise physiology. Only highly cited papers in the field of sport sciences were analyzed, and a thorough analysis of all papers in this field is needed for a definite conclusion. This study identifies that the subject area has a great impact on a paper to be highly cited, and only some subject areas in the discipline of Sport Sciences have the potential to be highly cited.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.2.19.4

The current study aims to analyze the scholarly publications of researchers in marine pollution for 30 years (from 1989 to 2018). This study intends to identify the list of core journal publications, growth rate, the productivity of authors and institutions, proportion of Indian contribution, and various similar aspects at national and international levels in the field of marine pollution. The retrieved data were analyzed using the Microsoft-Excel package as per the objectives of the study, and the data has been presented as tables and graphs. The study was designed to assess and know the growth rate of the research literature output, author productivity, quantitative and qualitative indices, collaborative trends, citation patterns, key journal’s list, and geographical distribution of publications at national and international levels in Marine pollution. The study shows an inconsistency in the Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of Marine pollution publications ranging from -35.63 to 23.69 between 1989 and 2018. The study also shows that the maximum Degree of Collaboration (DC) was identified in the years 2014 and 2018 (0.94) and the minimum DC identified in the year 1992 (0.60). The average of DC arrived as C=0.85, i.e., 85% of collaborative authors contributed. Collaboration Index (CI) of Marine pollution literature for the study period made clear that the number of authors per publication had increased from 3.32 (1989) to 5.40 (2018). The study results indicate that the overall growth rate calculated by various scientometric methods in marine pollution has been significantly growing in recent years at the international level. On the other hand, the growth rate of Marine pollution is moderate in India.https://dorl.net/dor/ 20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.1.20.3

The study has been conducted 330 journal articles contributions with a total of 9527 citations contributed by 763 authors published in volume 78, no. 309 to volume 87, no. 348 of the source Journal, Economica between 2011 to 2020. An analysis of the different forms of literature, subject-wise distribution, ranking of top 24 cited journals, and the application of Bradford’s law in Economics literature has been made. Results indicate that major forms of literature are journal 6173 (64.795%), followed by Books 2097 (22.011%) and Working Papers 569 (5.972%). Economica has published an average of 33 articles per volume. The average number of citations appeared at 238.175 citations in each issue. ‘American Economic Review’, published from the USA, tops the list with a tally of 481 (7.792%) citations, ‘Journal of Political Economy’ with 399 (6.464%) citations, published from USA and followed by ‘Economic Journal’ with 335 (5.427%) citations from the UK as the third position. Economics literature is not fit well Bradford’s Law. Leimkuhler model is also applied to verify Bradford’s law of scattering in the field of Economics.https://dorl.net/dor/ 20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.1.27.0

Study analyses scientometric assessment of LIS research performance of OPEC member countries. The research publication data indexed in Scopus for the OPEC member countries were extracted and used for the analysis. The data are analyzed to identify quantitative research performance of OPEC member countries in terms of total documents, citable documents, and non-citable documents. The citation impact is measured by different parameters, like total citations, citations per document, Relative Citation Impact, self-citations, and self-citations per document. Finally, the quality of the document is assessed by means of h-index. Nigeria has been found to be most productive country in LIS research and Iran is receiving highest citations and also in h-index performance amongst OPEC member countries. Iraq, Libya, and Ecuador are far away in LIS research productivity and needs strong steps to improve LIS research productivity for future endeavor.
