Bibliometric study of International Information and Library Review (IILR) from 2018-2022 published by Taylor and Francis.

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of research articles published in the International Information and Library Review (IILR), a Taylor and Francis journal, during the five- year period from 2018 to 2022. A total number of 169 articles downloaded from Volumes 50–54 were studied using MS Excel to analyze the year-wise and volume-wise distribution, authorship patterns, reference trends, article length, subject coverage, and geographical contributions. After analysis we found that IILR published an average of 34 articles per year, with the highest output in 2018, 2019, and 2022 (35 each) and the lowest in 2021 (30). Subject-wise analysis indicates that Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the Digital Era, Library Automation, Media, and E-information constituted the most dominant category (41 articles), followed by Academic and Special Library Programs (26) and Library Leadership and Staff Training (23). Geographical analysis shows contributions from 38 countries, with the USA and Nigeria at first and second position respectively and Jamica on the last.The findings underscore the journal’s global reach, subject diversity, and evolving collaboration patterns in library and information science research.
