It applies data carpentry tools and techniques for gathering and formatting data from different databases. The primary bibliographic data was collected from Scopus, and the secondary data from four different databases (Dimensions.ai, Altmetric.com, Mendeley.com, and Unpaywall.org). The data is analysed in terms of coverage, associations between variables (citations vs. altmetrics), and open access advantages of altmetric. The result indicates that 18.51 % of publications from private HEIs are covered in altmetric, while 95.77 % of publications are in Mendeley. Twitter event has the most extensive coverage among altmetric data, and Dr D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth registered with the broadest coverage in altmetric. The coverage level of altmetric data is higher for institutions focused on multidisciplinary research than medical, technical, and management institutions. The correlation results showed an almost positive between citations and altmetric mentions. Moreover, the coverage of open access publications in altmetric is considerably higher than those of non-OA articles. The Open Access Altmetric Advantages (OAAA) and Categorical Open Access Altmetric Advantages (COAAA) confirmed the open access advantages of selected institutions across altmetric events. The overall research result suggests that disciplineand institute-specific considerations are pivotal when evaluating institutions' productivity using altmetric.

Besides, author also mentioned other two modes of origin of the subject DH. It also stated the role of librarians for the development of DH. It was basically theoretical research where author used desk research technique through analyzing published literature on the domain. The main gap in literature review which author identified was ‘mode of formation of the subject DH from LIS point of view’. Author here tried to match between the librarians’ acquired knowledge base with need of DH scholars and pointed out the areas where LIS professionals can contribute toward developing DH. Finally, author theoretically developed a model to explain the origin of the subject DH from in the context of LIS domain and also presented other two existing concepts in a very simple, graphical ways.

Nowadays, social media has become an essential component of human society. Researchers or academicians are no exceptions. Social media has opened up new possibilities for researchers and academicians to evaluate scientific research based on social media data. In this response, altmetric is introduced as an emerging research area in scientometrics, where social media data is applied as source data for the evaluation of scientific research. The sufficient presence of altmetric data across scholarly publications is a prerequisite for developing new metrics in practice. This article aimed to investigate the presence of altmetric data in Indian scholarly publications compared to the world data. It has also explored the relationship among altmetric events (individual or aggregated) with citation scores. The result indicates that around 32.70% of Indian EPS articles are covered in social media, while 35.75% of research articles present at least one altmetric event for world data. The presence of altmetric events is still meager, except for Mendeley. A strong positive correlation is observed between citations and readership in Mendeley.

However, library professionals face the challenges of information overload because of the free availability of data, both in terms of quantity and variety. The role of library professionals is moving from tech-savvy to data-savvy. This research discusses the possibilities of ODbL-based data sources that offer freely accessible data through API calls and proposes a meta-model for fetching and extracting datasets from these databases using an open-Source Data Wrangling Tool (OpenRefine). Further, it discusses the possible application of data wrangling techniques from diverse sources in libraries and how information professionals can take advantage of openly available data to provide value-added information services to users.

It causes intestinal and respiratory infections of both humans and animals. The main objective of the present study was to explore the Scopus database to find out the research publications made on novel coronavirus during the last three decades and quantify its performance on a global scale. Scopus database has been used to retrieve related literature on novel coronavirus during 1990-2019. In total, 21,559 documents were published with an average of 23.55 citations per document. Research publications showed a noticeable and steep growth after 2002. Researchers from 157 countries or territories participated in coronavirus articles with the USA noted with the highest number of publications (6,378), highest citations (223,641). The Journal of Virology registered as the most preferred journal among the research community with 1,055 (4.89%) articles and the top productive organization was The University of Hong Kong. The author, Yuen, K.Y. contributed to the highest number of research publications during this time span. The highest proportion of documents was research articles (65.74%) and English was the most preferable language of communication in the research domain. Besides, 'coronavirus' and 'SARS' were the most frequently used term. It is quite coherent that during and within 1-3 years of any major outbreak of such viral infected disease, the number of publications all over the globe has also been increased by 2-4 times than the previous year. Therefore, it is expected that during 2020-2023, the number of yearly publications regarding coronavirus research would have reached up to 1500 or more than that.

Under this study period, total number of 377 articles contributed by 723 authors published within 11 volumes and 44 issues. On average 34.27 articles published e very year and researchers all over the world received total number of 3,346 citations (8.88 on average) from different reputed journals. The contributors used 7,241 references (journals 63.43%; web resources 12.35%; books 12.32%; conferences 4.81% and so on) for their research work. The authors from India published maximum number of articles (62.86%), this is followed by Nigeria (15.65%), Sri Lanka (5.04%), Bangladesh (4.51%), Iran (2.92%) and so on. The most productive author was B. K. Sen, published 26 articles and institution was CSIR-NISTADS which published 52 articles (22.51%) in this study periods. We have also calculated measures of authorship with regard to Degree of Collaboration (DC), Collaborative Index (CI) and Collaborative Coefficient (CC).

It also describes how to create and integrate a new metadata schema (tc) for a particular domain (Terracotta) using GEMS. In this study, different types of textual information, images, and videos are collected about terracotta temples of the Bankura district of West Bengal. A domain-specific metadata schema using unique namespace 'tc' is created for describing terracotta resources and an HTML page is created for each terracotta temple for displaying in a retrieval system. Finally, a retrieval framework through GSDL software is created to search and retrieve the terracotta resources. Ultimately, a digital library or digital archive of "Terracotta temple in West Bengal" has been developed which is searchable through the web as well as offline/CD-ROM or portable media. It also describes steps about the organization and management of terracotta resources and archiving policy of terracotta cultural objects using open-source digital library software-GSDL. As there are no such standard metadata schemas for archival of terracotta temple resources of West Bengal as per our knowledge are concerned, this is a unique attempt to build such schema and design a prototype online as well as offline retrieval system by harvesting this schema.

One of the major purposes of this study is to provide doorstep services to users without physical access to the library. Design/methodology/approach: This study designed the whole drone library system through a block diagram (Figure-1), which properly explained the works related to different sections of a library as well as the factions related to the users' perspective. It also stated different technical requirements for applying drones in library services. Findings: Instead of many disadvantages, it has some advantages; libraries may implement drones in a collaborative way to other organizations near a library, it may reduce the high purchase cost and use open-source drone projects rather than proprietary software. Originality: This paper mainly focused on the implications of UVA technology in library services and their all functions in the Indian context in terms of regulations of the use of drones in India, the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Research limitations/implications: It is quite difficult to implement drone technology in Indian libraries because of the negotiable library budget with due respect to the high cost of VUA technologies and their related instruments. One of the major limitations of this study is the rules and regulations of the civil drone.

The study aims to traverse the present status of Public Administration research through network analysis and visualizations study of the Public Administration publications during the study period 2016-2020. A total number of 7383 documents has been retrieved from the Web of Science database. VOSviewer, MSExcel, Bibexcel, and RStadio statistical software are used for data analysis. The study focuses on numerous aspects of the public administration research such as document types, the growth of publications, most relevant sources, most prolific authors, authorship pattern, corresponding authors country, most cited countries, most relevant affiliations, the keyword co-occurrence analysis, and density visualization involved. The highest number of publications is in 2020 with 1712 (23.18%) records, but the lowest number of publications in 2016 i.e., with 1243 (16.83%) records. The majority of publications were written by Solomon AW 17 articles. The USA was found to be leading the research with 2368 articles. This study shows the growth of Public Administration research across the world performance of citation count, collaboration rate, and so on. This study is based on the Web of Science (WoS) core collection database. Further research using other databases such as Scopus, Lens.org, PubMed, and Chemical abstract could be tried.

Conceivably, journal articles are first read by stakeholders in different social referencing platforms like Mendeley then those are used as a citable document for future work. Thus, the readership of scientific journals is an informative indicator for different stakeholders involved in scholarly practice. The purpose of this paper is to examine the readership patterns and characteristics of PLOS journals. This article compares Scopus citation counts and Mendeley readership counts for the articles of seven PLOS journals that were published in 2017. The Mendeley The Mendeley API in Webometric Analyts software was used to obtain Mendeley readership data. The result shows that Scopus citations are positively and strongly correlated with readership counts in Mendeley for all investigated journals. Most of the readers are Ph.D. students and master's students. The USA has registered as the highest number of readers counting PLOS journals. We observed that PLOS articles tend to attract more readers than citations. Therefore, the result suggests that readership data should be accepted as an impact indicator for all PLOS journals.

The reference manager’s readership count is a momentous indication for early research evaluation. In response, this study demonstrates the characteristics of Mendeley readership for EPS articles from twelve narrow disciplines and compares them with citations. The bibliographic and citation data have been collected from Scopus and the corresponding readers’ data from Mendeley. The Spearman correlation was performed among citations and readers for all unique articles for all investigated disciplines. Further, we also looked at the relationships between articles with non-zero readers, as well as articles satisfied by percentile ranking of the top 75 per cent, 50 per cent, and 25 per cen treaders. The result indicates large correlations among citations and readers (avg. 0.669) for all investigated disciplines. If we analysed only non-zero readers, as well as a percentile ranking of...

A digital library that deals with data those are born digital as well as those that have been digitized from their analogue form. So there is a need to preserve digital resources for future use. Since the nature of digital data or resource is intangible and it cannot see in necked eyes so there is a need to preserve and organized them in such a way that we can get easily access to them. Developing preservation process for digital resources will require the integration of new methods, policies, standards, and technologies.
