A Scientometric Analysis of a Decade of the Scientific Activities of the National Studies on Librarianship and Information Organization (2009-2018)

Analyzing and visualizing the scientific output made by the National Studies on Librarianship and Information Organization (NASTINFO) from a scientometric perspective during 2009-2018.

By extracting needed data from ISC and unifying names and keywords, the scientometric indicators of NASTINFO were determined and made visualized by applying some scientometric software packages.

NASTINFO had a multi-authored authorship pattern and its co-authorship network showed a significant collaboration among its authors. Co-word occurrence and keyword clustering networks revealed that NASTINFO considered its vast variety of related topics.

In spite of its progression in the scientific indicators and appropriate development in its special field, NASTINFO needs to increase its citability and visibility for its more influence.
