SCIENTOMETRICS STUDY OF ASME JOURNAL OF APPLIED MECHANICS FROM 2007-2018

Abstract

The study deals with analysing scholarly communication published in the ASME Journal of Mechanics from 2007 to 2018. Various Scientomeric indicators like Collaboration Indices, Relative Growth Rate, Doubling Time, Relative Citation Rate, Publication Efficiency Index, Immediacy Index, Co-authorship pattern index are used. The study deals with Keyword analysis also. The authorÇs Keywords, Keyword plus, and Title words are used for analysis. Country-wise, institution wise, author wise ranking lists are created during the study. h-index, g-index and m-index are applied to analyse the impact of authors in Applied Mechanics. Data was analysed by R-programming, Bibexcel, Microsoft Excel software. The study shows that the multi-author pattern of publication increases, and the relative growth rate is only 0.10. ÑEnglandÇ obtained the highest score in PEI. In 2007 the highest score was recorded in Immediacy Index. ÑHuang YÇ contributed 35 articles with rank first. ÑHutchinson JWÇ received the highest citations (336) and ACP score (24). The highest frequency word ÑelasticityÇ (51) in the authorÇs keywords, ÑbehaviourÇ (132) in Keywords plus and ÑanalysisÇ (160) in Title word occurred. USA (49.66%) and ÑTsinshua UniversityÇ (4.48%) have the highest contribution in Applied Mechanics.
