Author productivity and areas of research interest: A case study of Nigerian entomologists

Fri, 01 Mar 1985 00:00:00 GMT

Title: Author productivity and areas of research interest: A case study of Nigerian entomologists Authors: Gupta, Davendra Kumar Abstract: A bibliography of entomological literature of Nigeria (1900-1973) comprising 1720 items has been analyzed to study the relationship between author productivity and the areas of research interest. Of the 610 entomologists that contributed to the literature, 511 authors (83.8%) contributed only in one research area. A moderately strong correlation was found between the number of contributions made by each author and the number of subfields of entomology in which these contributions were made. Research productivity and areas of research interest of Nigerian entomologists appear to be directly related. It also appears that the scientists who contributed less than 20 publications have more diversified areas of research interest than those who contributed more than 20 publications. Page(s): 56-62
