Title: Evaluating library and information science publications in the Asia-Pacific region from 2015 to 2018
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate Library and Information Science (LIS) publications in the Asia-Pacific region from 2015 to 2018 to provide information on publication analysis, citation analysis, research performance benchmarking, and research topics prevalence. The publication data was gathered from the Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science and InCites. InCites and Web of Science were used to evaluate publication productivity, analyse citations and benchmark outputs against similar publications within the same category, year, and document type worldwide. Author keywords assigned to each publication were examined to identify prevalent research topics in the publications. The findings of this research have wide practical implications including informing the LIS community on the insights into prevalent research topics in LIS publications in the Asia-Pacific region from 2015 to 2018 which can be used as a benchmarking tool to evaluate the curriculum of LIS schools in the Asia-Pacific region.
