1 Annals of Library and Information Studies ZAFRUNNISHA & PULLAREDDY : AUTHORSHIP PATTERN AND DEGREE OF COLLABORATION IN PSYCHOLOGY 255 Vol. 56, December 2009, pp Authorship pattern and degree of collaboration in psychology N. Zafrunnisha 1 and V. Pullareddy 2 1 Librarian, CVR College of Engineering, Hyderabad 2 Professor, Department of Library and Information Science, S.V.University, Tirupati Studies related to authorship trend and collaborative researches are considered as an important facet of modern science. The paper presents a study of the authorship pattern and collaborative research in the field of Psychology. The required data collected from 141 Ph. D theses submitted to three universities during the period are used as source material for the present investigation. The collected data included 22,565 citations, among these only journal citations are consider for the study, which were appended to the 141 theses. A total journal citations came out and were utilized for the present investigation. Predominance of multi-authored papers over single authored papers is seen. The degree of collaboration in Psychology is USA defences first by producing 42.28% of cited journals. Majority of the cited journals of Psychology (94.54%) are in English language. Introduction The study of authorship pattern and productivity is an important factor in citation analysis. Generally, authorship of a paper or document has become important for scientists and researchers. In order to make out the author productivity and authorship pattern, the analysis of the nature of research collaboration in research activity is primary factor. Collaborative research activity is a well recognized feature of modern science, and there has been a consistent trend towards increased collaboration in all branches of science during the present century. Price 1 on the basis of survey of Chemical Abstracts, observed a steady trend towards multiple authorship and thereby holding that if it continues at the present rate, by 1980 the single author papers will be extinct. Though the above postulation may not hold true, a decline in the number of scientific papers published by single authors is evident. Fox and Feaver 2 are of the view that the increase in the number of multi authored papers may be due to the collaboration of specialists leading to enhanced quality of research. The reasons for collaborative research can be attributed to the interdisciplinary nature of investigations, escalating cost of instrumentation and laboratory facilities and interest of scientists in the same subject fields. Degree of collaboration in respect of a discipline in an organization is the ratio of multi-authored papers published during a year and the total number of papers published during the year. Scope and objectives The scope of the study is limited to two major sub-fields of Psychology viz., Basic Psychology and Applied Psychology. One hundred and forty one Ph.D theses are available in the University libraries of Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, Osmania University, Hyderabad and Andhra University, Visakhapattanam. A total of 22,565 citations appended to these theses, among them 14,374 journal citations are identified and these form the basis for the study. The specific objectives of the present study are to determine the: Nture of authorship pattern in the literature of psychology, basic psychology and applied psychology, Proportion of single Vs multi-authored papers in psychology, basic psychology and applied psychology, Degree of collaboration in psychology, basic psychology and applied psychology, Country wise distribution of journals in psychology, and Language wise distribution of journals in Psychology.

The journal information regarding the country, language and the subject of the journal are obtained from Ulrich s International Periodicals Directory and recorded on the reference cards of standard size of 12.5 X 7.5 cm. The data is fed into the computer using MS- Excel software and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for analysis. Results and discussion The present study elucidates the authorship pattern and degree of collaboration in journal citations in the field of Psychology as a whole and sub-fields of Basic and Applied Psychology. It is evident from Table 1 that the single authored papers are maximum with 47.12% of the total journal citations, multi-authored papers accounting for 52.87% of the total cited papers in Psychology. It is observed from Table 1 that single authored papers have shown declining trend from 75.56% ( ) to 23.81% ( ). As a result of which, the multi-authored papers have increased from 24.44% to 76.19%. This results is in accordance with the findings of Balog (1979) 3, Mendenhall and Higbee (1982) 4, Gladding (1984) 5 Mahapatra and Mathias (1987) 6, Karisiddappa, Maheswarappa and Shirol (1990) 7, Norris (1993) 8 Nagarajan (1995) 9, Udofia (2002) 10, Krishna and Kumar (2004) 11 and Kannapanwar et al., (2004) 12, Birdar and Premalatha (1998) 13, Omkaramurthy (2006) 14, Nattar (2009) 15, Smith (1958) 16 White and White (1977) 17,Mendenhall and Kenneth (1982) 18, Wendy, Herrod and Jef (2006) 19 Ying, Schubert and Gobinda (1998) 20, Anthony et al (2003) 21, James and Lisa (2003) 22 and Sangam (2003) 23 Authorship pattern in Basic Psychology is also shown in Table 1. It is evident from the table that the single authored papers are maximum with 53.58% of total

It is noticed from Table 2 that in Basic Psychology single authored papers have shown a declining trend from 79.4% ( ) to 26.8% ( ). Authorship pattern in Applied Psychology shows that single authored papers account for 44.18%, and multiauthored papers account for 55.81% of the total journal citations. This indicates a trend forwards collaborative research in the field of Applied Psychology. Single Vs multiple authorship Table 2 presents the predominance of multi-authored papers over single authored papers. The multi-authored papers account for more than 52% in Psychology as a whole. The percentage of multi-authored papers in Applied Psychology is 55.82%. In the case of Basic Psychology the single authored papers are more compared to multi-authored papers as shown in the table. Degree of collaboration and average number of authors per citation The extent of collaboration in research can be measured with the help of multi authored papers using the formula given by Subramanyam (1982) 24. Degree of collaboration C = Nm/Nm+Ns C = Degree of collaboration Nm = Number of Multiple authors Ns = Number of Single authors The degree of collaboration in the field of Psychology as a whole is 0.53 and its sub-disciplines, i.e., Basic Psychology 0.59 and Applied Psychology 0.51 for various years have been computed and presented in Tables 5, 6 and 7 respectively. It is observed from Table 3 that the degree of collaboration in Psychology has been increasing from the period to This indicates the

The average number of authors per paper has decreased from 1.48 (Till 1925) to 1.32 ( ). After that it increased from 1.36 ( ) to 2.46 ( ).This supports the prediction of Price 25 that team research is a common trend in scientific research. Same trend is seen in Basic and Applied Psychology as well. It is evident from Table 4 that the degree of collaboration in Basic Psychology has decreased from the period 1925 to then increased from the period and again it has decreased. The table clearly shows the changing research trend. The average number of authors per citation is 1.77 in Basic Psychology. It is obvious from Table 5 that the degree of collaboration in Applied Psychology has increased from the period to and has decreased from the period Again is increased from This indicates the trend towards collaborative research. The average number of authors per citation in Applied Psychology is 1.63.

It is observed from the Table 7 that USA ranks first by producing 42.28% of cited journals. India got second rank with 21.38% of total cited journals, followed by UK (15.44%) and Canada (1.75%).The above four countries produced nearly 75% of cited journals. The remaining 25% of journals are from 26 countries. It is noticed from the table that USA journals are mostly cited compared to the journals from other countries. Findings 1. Analysis of citations in Psychology and its subfields, in relation to the number of authors, reveals a more or less similar authorship pattern. 2. The multi- authored papers are more in number (52.87%) and single authored papers are 48.13% of total journal citations. 3. The number of collaborative papers indicates that the collaborative nature of research is growing. 4. The average number of authors per article in Psychology as a whole is 1.67 and the corresponding figures for Basic Psychology and Applied Psychology are 1.77 and The degree of collaboration (calculated using the formula given by Subramanyam) in Psychology as a whole is The corresponding figures for Basic Psychology and Applied Psychology are 0.59 and USA ranks first by producing 42.28% of cited journals. 7. Most of the cited journals of Psychology (94.54%) are in English language. Conclusion This study demonstrates the degree of author collaboration in the literature of Psychology. In particular, this study reveals a perceptible upward trend of collaborative Psychology research with the results of
