“…The highlights of a few prominent ones are “healthcare service quality” (SQ) (Valencia-Arias et al , 2018), SQ of “travel agencies” (Chen et al , 2016), genesis of SQ research (Pereira et al , 2013) and “perceived quality of internet services” (Duque Oliva et al , 2006). Similarly, the literature survey highlights such works in various domains like “economics” (Sharif and Mahmood, 2004), “E-Marketing” (He, 2012) “medical science” (Ullah et al , 2008), agriculture (Majid, 2000), “carbapenem resistance” (Sweileh et al , 2016), “carbon market research” (Du et al , 2015), “organic chemistry” (Kumari, 2009; Kumari, 2006), “alternative energy research” (Mao et al , 2015), “medicinal chemistry” (Rivera et al , 2010; Soboleva and Evdokimenkova, 2018), “analytical chemistry” (Arkhipov and Berezkin, 2002), “nanotechnology” (Ganaie and Wani, 2021), the “fuzzy sets theory field” (Cobo et al , 2011), “fluorochemistry” (Bouznik and Zibareva, 2015), “surfactant chemistry” (Bailon-Moreno et al , 2005) and “catalysis” (Zibareva and Parmon, 2013; Zibareva et al , 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the research output on “library and information science” (LIS) research domain in South Africa. It also highlights the top LIS research organisations, authors, journals, collaboration types and commonly used keywords. This research will aid in the identification of emerging concepts, trends and advances in this subject. Design/methodology/approach The Web of Science (WoS), an indexing and abstracting database, served as a tool for bibliographical data. By applying advanced search features, the authors curated data from 1989 to 2021 through the WoS subject category WC = (Information Science & Library Science), limiting the scope to the region, CU = (South Africa), which resulted in 1,034 articles. Moreover, the research focuses on science mapping using the R package for reliable analysis. Findings The findings reveal that the publications have considerably grown over time, indicating significant attention among researchers in LIS. The findings indicate the critical operator’s performance, existing thematic choices and subsequent research opportunities. The primary topical fields of study that emerged from the bibliometric analysis are impact, information, science, model, management, technology, knowledge and education. Pouris and Fourie are the most productive citations, h-index and g-index. The influential institute was The University of Pretoria. Research limitations/implications The use of the WoS database for data collecting limits this study. Because the WoS was the only citation and abstract database used in this study, bibliometric investigations using other citation and abstract databases like “Scopus”, “Google Scholar” and “Dimension” could be interesting. This study presented a bibliometric summary; nevertheless, a systematic and methodical examination of highly cited LIS research publications could throw more light on the subject. Practical implications This paper gives valuable information about recent scientific advancements in the LIS and emerging future academic subject prospects. Furthermore, this research work will serve as a reference for researchers in various areas to analyse the evolution of scholarly literature on a particular topic over time. Originality/value By identifying the standard channels of study in the LIS discipline, and the essential journals, publications, nations, institutions, authors, data sources and networks in this subject, this bibliometric mapping and visualisation provide new perspectives into academic performance. This paper also articulates future research directions in this realm of knowledge. This study is more rigorous and comprehensive in terms of the analytical procedures it uses.

“…Given recent research undertaken by the authors on Pakistani LIS scholars' profiles in RG (Ali and Richardson, 2017) and given the generally poor impact of Pakistani researchers in terms of citations (Ali and Richardson, 2016, p. 1;Ashraf Sharif and Mahmood, 2004), the authors were interested in whether there was a correlation between how well HEIs ranked nationally and/or internationally in terms of their research, and how well these same institutions ranked in RG.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to help improve a higher education institution’s research profile by using existing resources and existing research outputs. Design/methodology/approach This study was based on quantitative data extracted manually from QS University Rankings-Asia 2016, the 2015 Ranking of Pakistani higher education institutions (HEI) and ResearchGate (RG). Resultant data were loaded into Excel and analyzed in SPSS version 21. Findings The results of this study indicate that, while there is no direct correlation between an institution’s national/international ranking and its respective RG score, there is a tendency for lower-ranked institutions to have a lower RG score. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to data extracted from RG; however, it would be useful to apply the same methodology to other relevant academic scholarly network sites (ASNS). Practical implications This paper has suggested strategies which may be of relevance to those institutions in other countries which are aspiring to lift their national ranking through improved research profiles. Libraries are important contributors to the support of institutional research goals. Originality/value There have been no previous published research studies on either the potential for ASNS to contribute to enhancing research outcomes for Pakistani HEI or the role that libraries could play in supporting these outcomes.

“…Haridasan and Kulshrestha [74] found that the cited half-life of the literature in information science journal Knowledge Organization is 14 years. The mean age of citations for two economics journals, namely Pakistani Development Review and Pakistan Economic and Social Review was 9.16 and 12.96 respectively [75].…”
