Out of 717 articles in the Journal of Chemical Sciences joint authors contributed 599 (83.54%) articles while the rest 118 (16.46%) articles were contributed by single author. Most of the works were done on physical and theoretical chemistry with 291 articles followed by inorganic and analytical chemistry with 208 articles.
