Abstract

The present study is an attempt to evaluate the authorship and collaboration pattern in IASLIC bulletin during the year 2011-2018. Total 162 articles published during the study period and out of which only 59 articles are published by single author and rest 103 articles are published by two or more than two authors. So it is clear from the study that multiple authorship patterns are prominent in the journal. In the study it has been counted that the average collaboration index is 1.76, average degree of collaboration is 0.64, average collaboration coefficient is 0.56, and average modified collaboration coefficient is 0.34, average relative growth rate is 0.25 and average doubling time is 2.92 during the year 2011-2018.
