Author Productivity Distribuition in Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics: 1999-2013

Abstract

In the recent years, there has been an explosive growth in human Knowledge. In fact, the nature and tempo of growth has been such as too far outstrip the achievements of the past centuries. As science itself growth in extension and intention, the number of scientists increases. So obviously does the volume of literature generated by the scientific community. The growth o literature itself has caused a fairly widespread alarm and the term that describes explosion also known as information explosion.The Evaluation of the use of library collection is a fundamental tool for the development of a relevant and cost effective collection.

It is a quantitative study of various aspects of literature ona topic and is used to identify the pattern of publication, authorship and secondary journal coverage.
