Webometrics is the quantitative analysis of Web phenomena. The growth of Web technologies has opened new avenues for Web researchers for measurement and analyses of the phenomenon. Webometrics is traditionally used for quantifying Web data related to footprints of researchers or institutions on the Web measured in terms of their research publications and other parameters. The paper looks at the recent developments in webometrics research in light of emergence of social Web and big data, and their applications in new research fronts and future perspective of webometrics research. The paper also discusses about the recent developments in research techniques in webometrics such as query splitting and virtual memetics in the social network sites. It is observed that the growth of Web technologies has possibly posed new challenges for traditional citation databases which have been extensively used so far for measuring research impact of universities, institutions or individual researchers. The new trend has shown that impact measures are in the verge of acceptance as new method for measurement of academic and research contributions. One notable example for this is altmetrics. In the nutshell the paper gives an overview of the emerging trends and impact measuring techniques used in webometrics research.Keywords

This article is a study of Indian authors' contribution in foreign journals in library and information science during 1970-2005. The data were collected from 18 foreign journals. It is found from the study that 303 articles were published in various foreign journals in the field of library and information science. Scientometrics found to be the preferred foreign journal for Indian authors. Almost 44% of the articles published by them were reported in Scientometrics. While going through the Indian contribution in 18 international journals during the span of 36 years, it was found that only three authors have contributed more than 20 articles. This situation calls more attention from Indian authors to increase their level of productivity in foreign periodicals. The sigh of relief is that during present decade 131 articles (43.23%) have already been published showing that the trend of publishing in foreign journals is increasing.Keywords

Facebook is an online social networking site. It allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. It is a very popular social networking site. Librarians use it for official and personal communication purpose. The present study examines the participation of librarians in Facebook by testing whether it follows the pattern given by Lotka's law. The result shows that it does not. The paper analyses the reasons and also provides the methods of collecting data for bibliometric study.Keywords

This paper analyzes the impact of research contributions of South Indian LIS teachers using citation analysis method. The research output of South Indian LIS teachers published in various national and international journals, conference proceedings, books since 1950s have been collected as available in Google Scholar. It is a known fact that Google Scholar is yet to become a comprehensive database of scholarly literature. So the data sample collected for the study would have some limitations with respect to the comprehensiveness of the data. However, authors believe that the sample available from Google Scholar is sufficient for conducting citation analysis studies. Research contributions of South Indian LIS teachers have been analysed and results are reported with appropriate inferences. 1909 research papers published by the South Indian LIS teachers form the basic data for the study. The number of research papers being published is increasing sharply in recent years. About half of the data collected (48.40%) for the study is in the form of articles published in journals. While DRTC and Karnatak University occupy top two positions in number of articles published. University of Mysore is a close competitor for the second position. Articles from SRLES (28.45%) and Information Studies (9.63%) are visible in Google Scholar more than other journals. 'Organization of Information' and 'Bibliometrics' are the most favoured area of research for South Indian LIS teachers. The study also reports the most cited articles of South Indian LIS teachers. As one could expect Neelameghan, Karisiddappa and Ravichandra Rao occupy the first three positions in the h-index ranking of teachers.Keywords

This paper presents the findings of a citation analysis study, the impact of S.R.Ranganathan's (SRR's) seminal works, namely. Five laws of library science, Prolegomena to library classification, and Colon classification. More specifically the objective was to quantify the impact of SRR's works through citation analysis, and to study the citation pattern to SRR's works. Google Scholar (GS) was the major data source for the study. We searched the GS during the first week of Decembet 2008 SRR was a prolific writer with over 50 books and over 1000 articles) OS's 894 citations, of which more than half (54.8%) is accounted for by the three books of SRR just mentioned.. Presents .ranked list of authors citing SRR's three works, their affiliation the periodicals in which these authors have published and related statistics.Keywords
