Abstract

This study aims to analyze the collaboration in speech and hearing research literature, subject frontiers and institution-wise author productivity, using the ‘Journal of All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (JAIISH)’, a publication of All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Mysuru, Karnataka, India. The journal was started in the year 1970. It is being published regularly for almost forty long years. It is an annual publication. For the purpose of data collection six recently published volumes of the said journal covering, 2010 to 2015 were selected. The findings reveal the extent of authorship collaboration, ranking of most productive authors, institution-wise productivity, and subject frontiers in speech and hearing literature. A total of 155 papers published during 2010 to 2015 were analyzed and found that two author and three author papers claims a maximum score of 55 each representing 35.48 percent each. The year 2010 has produced a maximum of 34 papers representing 21.93 percent. Of the 450 authors, Sreedevi has contributed a total 14 papers representing 9.03 percent. She holds first position in five (35.71%) papers. AIISH has contributed maximum number of research output scoring 302 authors representing 67.11 percent. The discipline of ‘Speech’ is highly pronounced frontier of research scoring 51 (33.00%) papers. Thus collaborative research pattern in the field of speech and hearing is moving towards multiple authorship.
