SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS ON SUSTAINABLE LIBRARY

Abstract

Sustainable Library' is a modern library that uses environmentally friendly building materials, maximizes the use of natural resources, reduces waste, maximizes the use of renewable resources, and conducts its operations in a more cost effective and efficient manner. This study aimed to quantify the number of contributions made by scientists working in the field of Sustainable Libraries and disseminated through the Web of Science database between 2013 and 2022. Data were tabulated using MS Excel and analyzed using programmes like Bibexcel and Vos viewer. The findings showed that 1926 papers were published between 2013 and 2022, with 278 (14.43%) of those publications coming in 2021. The distribution of the research by language revealed that 1912 (99.27%) of the papers were written in the English Language, which is the most often used scholarly language. Compared to single – authors publications, the trends in multi-authored papers have dramatically increased (96.21%), outpacing them by 3.79%. the biggest number of papers (921) were contributed by the group, and the degree of collaboration (0.96) is notable.
