Authors : P.N. V. Bhargav, Dr. A. Kishore & Dr. M. Doraswamy
Application of Bradford’s Law of Scattering is one of the bibliometric laws, which is used commonly in bibliometric research. The study carried out on the data of journals cited in the Ph.D. theses submitted to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, Telangana.
The study examine the applicability of Bradford’s Law of Scattering it include 564 journal titles and 2043 journals citations containing 3947 references collected from 41 doctoral theses. Rank list was prepared and ‘Journal of Materials Processing Technology’ took first place with 135 citations followed by ‘International Journal of Production Research’ with 108 citations and ‘International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacautre’ with 98 citations was the most preferred journals. The Bradford’s Law of Scattering and Leimkuhler model was tested to verify the dataset and it was found to fits the present dataset
Keywords - Citation analysis, Bradford’s Law, Leimkuhler model, Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Ranking of journals.
