The present study includes the analysis of research contributions made by Arnold FH with the bibliometric techniques and her role in the advancement of chemical science in the world. Her publications were distributed over 135 source titles which are having a good impact factor. She has collaborated with 496 authors which are resulted for 1444 authorships in which the most prolific collaborators are Bloom JD 15 publications, Snow CD 14 publications. Country-wise distribution of citations reveals that most of the citations are from the USA which accounts for 32919 of total citations.
