The data were downloaded from the Indian Citation Index database. This study aims at analyzing the research output performance of Library scientists on library & information science subjects. The analyses include year-wise publication of articles, authorship patterns, institutions-wise publication of contributions, state wise, city wise and country wise publication of articles. A total of 335 articles were published in the journal with an average of 33.5 articles per year. The journal had received articles from 19 countries.
