Abstract

Society's advancement and growth are entirely dependent on ongoing research. Citation analysis is a widely used research method for assessing the quality of research in any field. A bibliometric study would be beneficial to all LIS members. The study's objectives were met by the use of citation analysis techniques. The data comes from the Shodhganga repository, an online repository of Indian theses. According to current research, the LIS field needs to promote collaborative research and improve the quality of articles published in Indian research journals, and Indian academics should pay more attention to peer-reviewed journals for publication so that their research is visible to readers.
