“…The number of papers with multiple authors has increased rapidly, demonstrating the continuing trend towards group research and development becoming the mainstream. In fact, collaborative research, as measured by number of authors, is generally associated with high quality output and high manuscript acceptance rates by prestigious journals (Oromaner 1975;Presser 1980).…”

The Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) has been playing a vital role in the dissemination of scholarly articles in library and information science since 1950. This paper presents the results of a bibliometric study of articles published in the JASIST from 2000 to 2007. It examines the distribution of papers under various headings, including authorship pattern and nature of collaboration, geographic distribution of articles, nature of cited and citing references, prolifi c authors and highly cited authors. Data were collected using the Web of Science and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results indicate that during the sample period the rate of publication was uneven and the most prominent form of publication was articles. The trend of authorship pattern of articles is towards collaboration and authors from 47 countries contributed articles. The country-wise distribution reveals that the highest number of contributions was made by US authors followed by the UK. The number of references cited per article increased from 2000-2007 whereas articles received citations in decreasing numbers during the same period. The results suggest that articles need to have been published for more than 2 years before they receive adequate numbers of citations.

“…13 Between 1895 and 1925, only one percent of articles in four core sociological journals were written by more than one author. 14 24 Although, in practice, this is not the case in academic libraries, it sug gests that researchers in smaller institutions might benefit the most from collaboration.…”

Academic librarians, particularly college librarians, may increase their contributions to the professional literature through collaborative authorship. For example, university librarians, who published 69 percent of the articles in College & Research Libraries and the Journal of Academic Librarianship between 1986 and 1996, contributed almost 90 percent of the coauthored research in those core journals. This study examines the increase in collaboration in the literature of academic librarianship and in other disciplines, explores the relationship between collaboration and article quality as well as author productivity, compares collaborative patterns of college and university librarians, and considers factors that lead to successful collaboration.

“…Some have associated the larger number of citations with the substantial rise in self-citations implicit in multiauthorship, along with the citations by each of the co-author's colleagues [ROUSSEAU 1992;LEIMU & KORICHEVA, 2005]. Other authors have questioned the existence of a relationship between multi-authorship and quality, observing that there are no significant differences in the number of citations between single-and multi-authored papers [OROMANER, 1975;AVKIRAN, 1997]. Several experts have explained the lack of any such correlation on the grounds that in some cases multi-authoring is based on a mentor-apprentice relationship rather than on peer partnering between researchers or large research groups [BAYER, 1982].…”
