Abstract

The present paper deals with the applicability of Bradford’s law of Scattering to the literature on Diabetes Mellitus type 1 disease. The PubMed database has been selected to collect data for the present study. A total of 489 journals published 1542 articles during the year 2012 to 2021 on Diabetes Mellitus type 1 disease. It was found that Current Diabetes Reports was the top core journal that published the highest number of articles (100) along with citation 4550. Bradford's law was tested for applicability using a ranked list of journals and publishing output. The Diabetes Mellitus type 1 literature's journal distribution pattern corresponded to Bradford's distribution pattern. The applicability of Leimkuhler’s model was also tested and it is also fitted to the selected disease dataset of Diabetes Mellitus Type-1
