摘要：The published articles in leading Indian LIS journals during 2012-2017 have been mapped to depict the authorship pattern and collaboration trend in LIS domain of India. The study assessed the collaborative authorship trend on using different parameters like journal wise pattern, year wise collaboration, co-authorship index, ranked list of most productive authors and the level of collaboration. The Lotka’s law on author productivity has also been tested to confirm the applicability of the law to the present data set. It is found that two-authored papers are predominant (48%) in LIS publications and the collaborated articles of multi-authorships received greater average citations. Besides, in Indian LIS discipline, maximum collaboration occurs in intra-institutional level and inter-institutions within state level. Therefore, it is recommended that the LIS schools across the country should also consider inter- departmental collaboration to produce more quality works on emerging and innovative research areas.
