AbstractThe study analyses 89 full-length Research Articles published during 2007-08 in the Indian Journal of Engineering and Materials Science. Indian Journal of Engineering and Materials Science is linked most closely with Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical, Metallurgical, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Environmental Engineering, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Instrumentation and Materials Science. Overall, 1662 citations were made during this period. The results indicate that 25.84% articles (citing articles) published in these issues were three authored. The authorship pattern of citation (cited articles) shows that 17.07% papers are single authored, 20.35% and 27.64% papers were double and triple authored respectively.
