ABSTRACT: Bibliometric techniques were applied to analyze the authorship
trend in the “Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal
(CLIEJ)” during the period of 1996-2013. A total of 133 articles and 221
authors in the Journal were examined by year and volume to ascertain
authorship patterns, author productivity, and degree of collaboration. The
average number of authors per paper is 1.661% and the average productivity
per author is 0.601%. The average degree of collaboration is 0.443 during the
period under study.
I. Introduction
The Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal (CLIEJ) is a peer-reviewed
open access e-journal. CLIEJ was launched in 1996 and published biannually (June and
December) by the Internet Chinese Librarians Club. It is a scholarly journal in English
devoted to the various fields of library and information science. It focuses on both the
realistic and the academic aspects of international librarianship. It publishes research
findings, case studies, book reviews, and technical procedures by faculty, researchers, and
students. CLIEJ is indexed and abstracted by Google Scholar, Ebsco’s Library, Information
Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Wilson’s Library and Information Science Index
(LISH), and CSA’s Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) and listed in Ulrich's
Periodicals Directory, Directory of Open Access Journals DOAJ (DOAJ), and Cabell's
Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Educational Technology and Library Science.
II. Literature Review
Singh (2013) analyzed the various bibliometric components of the articles published in the
Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal between 2009 and 2012.
Hussain and Fatima (2011) studied the Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic
Journal for the period of 2006-2010 and revealed “various aspects of the Journal, such as its
distribution of article by year , authorship patterns, distribution of contributions by institution,
subject distributions, citation patterns, length of article, rank of cited authors, and
geographical distributions of authors”.
Vimala and Pulla Reddy, V (1996) traced “authorship pattern and collaborative research in
zoology with a sample of 19,323 journal citations figured in the theses on zoology accepted
for the award of the doctoral degree by Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India” (p. 1).

traced the trend of publications such as “year wise distribution of articles, bibliographical
distribution of citations, authorship pattern, citation pattern, average length of articles,
number of tables and figures used, time lag, geographical distribution of authors and subject
analysis” (p. 38).
Mahapatra and Jena (2006) studied the growth of scientific research literature on Orissa
published during 1985-2004. It includes 875 research papers from forty different journals.
The authorship pattern, year-wise growth, subject-wise breakup of papers, category of
journals, place of origin, length of papers, and productivity of journals have been analyzed.
Nosheen and Sajjad (2011) studied 111 articles in the Pakistan Journal of Library and
Information Science published from 1995 to 2010 and traced the “author productivity, extent
of authors’ collaboration, authors’ institutional affiliation, authors’ geographic affiliation,
type of publication, language of papers, number of citations used per article, length of papers,
and year-wise distribution of papers” (p. 1).
Rattan and Gupta (2012) studied the Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science
from 2007 to 2011 and found that “out of 100 articles, single authors contributed 27 (27%)
articles while the rest 73 (73%) articles are contributed by joint authors” (p. 307).

III. Objectives of the Study
The objectives of the present study are as follows:
To study research article contributions by year and issue
To study authorship patterns by year and issue
To study author productivity
To study authorship by country
To identify most prolific contributors, and
To identify degree of author collaboration
IV. Research Methodology
The data was collected from the website of the Chinese Librarianship: an International
Electronic Journal (CLIEJ) (http://www.iclc.us/cliej/). Thirty-six (36) issues from eighteen
(18) volumes from 1996 to 2013 have been selected for the study. Research article
contributions by issue and year, number of authors, authorship patterns by volume,
authorship patterns by country, author’s productivity, most prolific contributors, and degrees
of author collaboration were recorded. These data were organized, calculated, tabulated,
analyzed, and presented by using simple arithmetic and statistical methods.

Table 8 shows the degree of author collaboration in the Chinese Librarianship: an
International Electronic Journal.
Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal, 37. URL: www.iclc.us/cliej/cl37thavamani.pdf

To determine the degree of collaboration in quantitative terms, the formula given by K.
Subramanyam (1983) was used.
The formula is Where
C = Degree of collaboration
NM = Number of multi authored papers
NS = Number of single authored papers
C = NM
NM + NS
C = 59
133
In the present study the average value of C is C = 0.443
As a result, the average degree of author collaboration in the Chinese Librarianship: an
International Electronic Journal is 0.443, which clearly indicates its dominance upon single
authored contributions. However, multi-authored articles have been increased in recent years.
In 2012, there were 8 single authored articles and 9 multi-author papers, and in 2013, there
were 9 single authored articles and 8 multi-author articles.
VI. Conclusion
The Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal has been growing over 18
years from publishing 5 research articles in 1996 to 17 research articles in 2013. The
authorship patterns have changed, too, from the predominant single authors in early years to
increased multi-author collaboration in recent years.
From 1996 to early 2008, the Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal
published articles mostly from Chinese American authors. Since late 2008, it started
accepting research articles from any countries, thus becoming a real international journal. As
of today, there are 13 countries contributing research articles to the journal, including 75
(33.936%) authors from the United States, 52 (23.529%) from India, 39 (17.647%) from
Nigeria, 25 (11.312%) from Pakistan, and 15 (6.787%) from China.
