The magnitude and eminence of e-journal of the UGC-Infonet digital library consortia in five subjects of social science and science discipline have been examined and addressed. While quality issue is judged by using Science and Social Science edition of Journal Citation Report (Thompson Scientific, 2007), the quantitative issue is measured by counting number of journals available under individual subject. The result of the study indicates that there are 8265 journals available in 97 different subjects. While highest number of journals in science discipline is available in medical science followed by biology and mathematics, Highest number of journals in social science discipline is available in history followed by economics and education. Of the total journals in science, 46.35% journals of biology are indexed in JCR. Most of the journals in science discipline have impact factor between 1-5, while most of journals in social science are not indexed at all, which signifies that quality of science journals are quite high than of social science.Keywords

India is perhaps unique amongst developing countries in having established a distinct science identity since last few centuries. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is an autonomous body established in 1942 with the aim of providing strong S&T base for the industry, strategic sectors and advancement of fundamental knowledge. The present study is to understand the quality and quantity of research output and current state-of-the-art of CSIR laboratories using publications output data as reflected in Web of Science and Scopus. The study points out that during 2010 to 2015, although the yearly output has increased from 3940 papers to 5531 papers, the growth rate is neither linear nor exponential. The scientists of the laboratory attach more weight to foreign journals rather than Indian journals having SCI impact factor within the range of 2.0 to 4.0. The authorship trend is completely slanted towards co-authorship and CSIR is assisting considerable financial support for conducting research. The citation analysis of CSIR publications reveals that, a total of 30011 articles published during 2010-2015, received 251212 citations during 2010-2016 with an average rate of 7 citations per article. Almost 10% articles did not receive any citation and 62% articles received citation in the range of 1 to 10.

This study is designed to assess the disciplinary difference of cited-citing references of Indic origin open access journals namely Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Physics (IJPAP), Journal of Chemical Science (JCS) and Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) in terms of source, authorship, subject diversity, accessibility, citation-age, quantity & citinglife. The sample size consist of 23 issues, 277 articles, 7004 cited references and 2349 citing sources of these 3 journals. While for cited reference, we download reference list of every published article from the official website of the journals, for citing reference, we explore Google Scholar and Scopus both to identify maximum number of citing source during April 2017. Results show that for internet enabled OA articles there is no acceleration of citing behavior; rather, on the contrary, a significant trend is revealed for an increase in authors’ citing somewhat older references. Significant main effects point also at more cited references was of journal articles and was of Indic origin; however, more citing reference was of foreign original journals. Both for cited-citing reference joint authorship were predominant. In spite of the fact that present study considered only open access articles for analysis, results indicates that PCM authors mostl.Keywords
