  2. INTRODUCTION • In the era of bibliometric analysis, the analyzing of authorship pattern and productivity occupies a leadership position. The researchers in information science kept utmost on the concept of authorship and scientific documents. A scientific analysis of the nature of research collaboration and its influence on the allround research activity determines the author caliber and pattern. Today’s science demands on collaborative research and shared work and has always tried to enhance the level of position consistently, a trait amply reflected in the present study. Collaboration of works can be accessed through a broad view such as the number of authors write, how many people they write with and how has this affected their productivity. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY • To examine the nature of the authorship pattern among the library and information science professionals in the NACLIN proceedings; • To study the proportion of single Vs multi-authored papers in NACLIN proceedings; and • To examine the degree of collaboration among the authors of the NACLIN proceedings. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  4. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY • The present study is concerned with the analysis of citations appeared in the NACLIN proceeding from the year 2001 to 2014 (with an exception of year 2010 when the proceedings was missed) were used for this study. A sample of 425 contributions of 2001 to 2014 published from National Conventions on Knowledge, Library and Information Networking (NACLIN) proceedings is taken for the study. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  5. Results • Distribution of articles by conference volume Year wise distribution of contributions from 2001 to 2014 This table shows that a total number of 425 articles published from 2001 to 2014. The average number of articles published for the thirteen years of record was 32.69 articles for per conference proceeding. . Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  6. Single Vs multiple authorship articles in NACLIN proceedings This table shows that there is a closed competition between single authored articles Vs multi authored articles. Out of 425 articles, 228 (53.65%) are single authored articles, while 197 (46.35%) are multi authored articles Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  7. AUTHORSHIP PATTERN This table shows that a total number of 709 authors have contributed 425 articles, where single authored papers are rated highest with 228 articles followed by two authored papers are 128 articles, three authored are by 51 articles, and four authored are by 18 articles. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  8. Average number of authors per paper in NACLIN proceedings This table shows that the single authorship is predominant in practice in the study. All most all the years there is an average of 1.6 authors per paper. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  9. Degree of collaboration in NACLIN proceedings The results this Table indicates interest to record that the degree of collaboration in NACLIN proceedings varied from 0.33 to 0.67. The degree of collaborative research is seems to be no constant in all the years of NACLIN proceedings. Dr.M.Doraswamy & Dr.B.R. Doraswamy Naick

  10. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the authorship pattern and collaborative strength in the analysis of National Convention on Knowledge, Library and Information Networking (NACLIN) proceedings. It is glaring from the study that single authorship is a common phenomenon among the library and information science professionals in conferences. From the thirteen years of data gathered from NACLIN proceedings, single authored papers surpassed multi authored papers for each proceeding which shows a sign of solidarity in this field. More so, the pattern of authorship also shows that single authored works are common. The average number of authors per contribution in NACLIN proceedings as a whole is 1.6. It can be concluded that this study indicates towards individual research than collaborative research. NACLIN 2007 stood first in the publication of highest number of articles which indicates at most zeal over publishing/presenting of papers followed by a lowest rate of interest on the part of the information science professionals towards publishing/presenting papers in NACLIN in the year 2012.
