Abstract :

Background: Organophosphorus compounds are used as pesticides in agricultures. But, its effects are not only limiting to pets also affects to human being. Here, we have analyzed the published articles with respect to author’s contribution using some bibliometrics parameters.

Materials and Methods: The published articles on organophorphorus were retrieved from SCOPUS database from the year 2012 to 2016 for this study and analyze the documents published with respect to year, source title, types of documents, subject of documents and degree of collaboration etc. All the statistical analysis was carried out with the help of MS excel spreadsheet.

Results: On analysis of all articles with Organophosphorus compounds, it was revealed that the highest number of articles was published in the year 2014 and least in the year 2016. Among all articles 197 documents are under Medicine, 118 documents are under Chemistry and 101 documents are listed under Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutics. This study found that the degree of collaboration “C” is 0.95 with 395 numbers of documents are more than single author.

Discussion and Conclusion: Indian publications on Organophosphorus compound during the year 2012 to 2016 showed not much more. In this study it was revealed that less work of single authors in comparison to the multiple authors. So the collaboration work plays more important to success the research work.
