Abstract

Bibliometric analysis of 365 articles published in Current Sciences, Vol.96 (12 Issues) and Vol. 97 (12 Issues) are taken up to observe the authorship pattern, geographical distribution of the contributors, types of articles and citations. Results indicated that the percentage of use of highest numbers of papers have been written by co-authors. Indian authors have contributed more than other countries. Web/Internet sources in the citation are low. As compared to the hard copy sources, the contributors of the journal used less than 4% of the web sources in the citation.
