Authors : Ramasamy Kumaresan, Krishnan Vinitha & Kattari Kannan
No such study was carried out so far. Hence, this study is needed. This study was carried out to examine the year-wise output, collaborative patterns, author’s productivity, countries productivity, institutional productivity, document types, highly cited articles, and bibliographic coupling. The required data were collected from Web of Science database. This study reveals that 1364 publications were contributed in Aquatic Microbial Ecology during the study period (2000 – 2014). A steady growth was observed from 2000 to 2005. The highest numbers of publications were found in 2007 and lowest numbers of publications were found in 2014. The average doubling time was 8.36 years. Three authors contribution was more predominant than other authorship pattern. The degree of collaboration was 0.959. Herndl, G. J contributed 28 publications and secured first position. USA was contributed 401 publications and secured first position. India secured 25th position with 12 contributions. Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain was contributed 64 publications and placed first position. From India, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa was secured 73rd position with 9 contributions. Articles (1293, 94.80%) were predominant in Aquatic Microbial Ecology. Porter, Karen G. and Yvette S. Feig (1980) The use of DAPI for identifying and counting aquatic microflora. Limnol. Oceanogr., 25: 943-948. DOI: 10.4319/lo.1980.25.5.0943 was cited 220 times and score first position. Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain had highest bibliographic coupling with other institutions.
