Abstract

The periodicals are the primary source of information and are an important medium for communication. They play a major role in communicating the latest research findings and publishing articles containing current development in any field of knowledge. The present bibliometric study is focused on an examination of 30 articles/research papers that were published in the Bulletin of Pure and Sciences: Section C, a good journal in chemistry by taking into consideration its last two-year issues in 02 volumes from 2022 to 2023. In addition to discussing the average length of an article and the number of references per article, the study also covers the year and volume-wise number of articles, authorship patterns, most productive authors of the journal, state-wise contribution of the articles, and foreign contribution to the journal.
