Abstract
The current bibliometric study is focussed on an examination of 255 articles/research papers that were published in the Environmental Conservation Journal, a venerable journal in the environmental area by taking into consideration its last five volumes from 2016 to 2020. 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.
