The present study shows that the impact factors of Indian journals obtained from JCR are probably not true reflections of the quality of Indian journals.</span></span></span></span></span></span> Page(s): 26-30 1992-03-01T00:00:00Z http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/27689 Title: Application of Biotechnology in Mass Health Care - literature trend Authors: Singh, Hukam; Saxena, S K Abstract: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:" times="" new="" roman";mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";="" mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa;="" mso-bidi-font-style:italic"="" lang="EN-US">Analysis of <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:" times="" new="" roman";="" mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:="" en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="" lang="EN-US">3199 <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">references collected in the area of "Mass Health Care" published in the Derwent Biotechnology Abstracts during the years 1983-87 <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">reveals that the research work carried out in the area of antibiotics is substantially more than that done on other pharmaceutical products. Researchers from Japan have contributed about 35% <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">of the total literature followed by USA (25.4%). <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">The private companies are playing a <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">significant role in such type of research. A <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">rank list of cited journals indicates that 70% of the literature is scattered in 55 journals. The study may be useful for Indian scientists to enhance research in selected areas of pharmaceuticals.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Page(s): 19-25 1992-03-01T00:00:00Z http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/27688 Title: Recent information technologies and their impact on dissemination of information Authors: Arora, J; Kaur, Sharanpal Page(s): 12-18 1992-03-01T00:00:00Z http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/27687 Title: Collaboration trends in Sugarcane Research - A case study Authors: Kalyane, V L; Rao, K Vidyasagar Abstract: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:" times="" new="" roman";mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";="" mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa;="" mso-bidi-font-style:italic"="" lang="EN-US">In order to find out the collaboration trends in Sugarcane Research, a case study has been undertaken with the help of publications from Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore during <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:" times="" new="" roman";="" mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:="" en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="" lang="EN-US">1948 <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">to 1987 <span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic">Discipline wise Collaboration Coefficient (CC) and Average Authorship per Paper (AAP), were calculated.
