Authors: Das, Amit Kumar; Dutta, Bidyarthi
Abstract: The uncitedness of twelve Indian physics and astronomy journals over twelve years (2009-2020) time span is analysed
here. Besides Uncitedness Factor (UF), three other indicators are discussed, viz., Time-normalized Citation per paper (CY),
H-core Density (HD) and Time-normalised H-index (TH). The journal-wise variational patterns of these four indicators, i.e.,
UF, CY, HD and TH and the relationships of UF with the other three indicators are analysed. The calculated numerical
values of these indicators are observed to formulate seven hypotheses, which are tested by the F-Test method. The average
annual rate of change of uncited paper is found to be 67% of the total number of papers. The indicator CY is found
temporally constant. The indicator HD is found to be nearly constant journal-wise over the entire time span, while the
indicator TH is found to be nearly constant for all the journals. The UF inversely varies with CY and TH for the journals and
directly varies with TH over the years. Except for a few Indian journals in physics and astronomy, the majority of the other
journals face the situation of uncitedness. The uncitedness of Indian journals in this field is higher by 12% as compared to
foreign journals in the same field, which indicates a possible poor circulation of the journals.

Authors: Anggreini, Erina Wahyu; Mutia, Fitri
Abstract: This paper investigates the trust, collegiality, and communication between teachers and librarians to support student
learning at three senior high schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. The conceptual research framework uses Montiel-Overall's
Model B Cooperation/Partnerships from the Teacher and Librarian Collaboration (TLC) model. The research approach is
descriptive/quantitative and is based on 36 respondents consisting of 31 teachers and 5 librarians. The findings indicate that
regarding trust, the indicator most depicted is benevolence. In terms of collegiality, teachers, and librarians care for each
other, and in the communication aspect, teachers and librarians often communicate with each other.

Authors: Lizunova, Irina V.; Weel, Andriaan van der; Garcia-Febo, Loida; Pshenichnaya, Evgeniya V.
Abstract: The paper studies reading in the digital age and grounds characteristic reading features on paper and the screen. We
studied various scientific points on the uniqueness of reading activities in various formats, effectiveness, and perception of
readers about printed and electronic texts. The study concludes that screen-reading practices keep evolving. Digital reading
dynamically changes the communication environment, speeding up and simplifying access to information. The new reading
format has many opportunities and advantages, and it transforms the reading skills and habits of society. Although it revives
social reading, it intensifies the digital divide, leading to a secondary mental cognitive digital divide, and modifies the
personal reading experience of contemporaries.

Authors: BS, Shivaram; M, Uma; Sahu, Satya Ranjan
Abstract: The study evaluates the research performance of top-six NIRF ranked engineering institutions in Karnataka. The study
uses scientometrics indicators like publication and citation growth, AGR, RGR, DT, citation productivity of open access
publications, and document types. The analysis revealed that publication productivity increased after the introduction of
NIRF in 2016. The average citations of all the institutions increased, and MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT)
recorded the highest 1.7 citations per paper, followed by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) with 1.69 citations
per paper. The decreasing trend of relative growth and increased doubling time reveal that the institutes are reaching their
saturation point in their publication productivity. The open-access articles' average citations are higher than non-OA articles.
The Rashtreeya Vidyalaya College of Engineering (RVCE) open access articles received the highest citations, 11.8 average
citations—nearly four times higher than closed access articles, with 2.58 average citations.
