    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Kumar, Rajan; Behera, Mukesh
    The professional field of librarianship integrates both theoretical and practical domain knowledge. It is a distinctive profession that deals with knowledge. The function and duty of each author on a research project or paper is currently being defined in the field of research. With a sample of 1538 documents downloaded between the years of 2002 and 2022, the current study describes the topic of librarianship in detail and reveals trends in authorship patterns and author's collaborative research across all publications on the subject as represented in the Web of Science database. There are 1.76 authors on average per article. The degree of collaboration (DC) in the study throughout the course of the entire 21 years (2002-2022) is 0.39. Over the duration of the 21-year period, single-author publications have outnumbered multi-author publications. According to the study, group or team research is more appealing to librarianship scholars than solo inquiry.

ETDs, not only, support the documents submission and archiving, but also, play an important role in collaboration and Interoperability among the Institutions in terms of research output i.e. PhD Theses. The objective of this study is to explore the growth and usage analytics of Shodhganga.
